2025 Draft

Hage has no impact whatsoever on who I'm picking. I think it's all but certain we'll be taking a forward with our first pick, possibly even with our second first. Besides Schaefer, there isn't another d-man interesting enough in the top-10.
 
What the Habs might need above all, at least when it comes to drafting...

They need a better drafting philosophy outside of the first round beyond just "we're looking for unicorns." They spend a lot of picks on players nobody's ever heard of or were basically just considered undraftable.

Let's draft Florian Xhekaj - totally not because of his last name, obviously, lol! - because he's a unicorn. Let's draft this Latvian goalie that our scout saw in an obscure U18 tournament for a handful of games. Let's draft Ben Merill because he has the profile of a fourth line player, and uh, well he doesn't actually know how to play hockey yet, but he's got time to figure that out at Harvard.
