PHILADELPHIA, Pa – Another season has come and gone, and the Florida Panthers are champions once again. The 2025 NHL Entry Draft in Los Angelos, Ca is upon us and another group of talented young prospects wait to hear their names called by one of thirty-two teams. Just when you thought it was safe to exhale, the draft starts things off for next season followed closely by the start of Free Agent Frenzy on July 1.
Welcome to PHN’s NHL 2025 Mock Draft. The top two players on the board appear to be Matthew Schaefer and Michael Misa. The draft should be very top heavy with centers taken in the top 10. Only one goaltender should be taken in the first round but there is a small change with Nashville and Phildelphia having multiple first round pics, it wouldn’t shock anyone if there is more than one taken in the first round. Canada will well represented in this years draft. With that said, let’s get the show on the road.
