The 2025 Scouching Mock Draft is now complete! Thanks to all those who participated and kept up with the craziness. It's always a pleasure to host what is a great tradition in my neck of the woods.
Here are our results! Who won? Who stunk?

We're into the last week before the NHL Draft. It's an exciting time and I figure we're going to see some real craziness next weekend.
Here's the landscape of all the players ranked in 2/3 of the rankings I track. My own final list will drop publicly on Thursday!

It's the final day for me and the 2008-2011 boys group here in Charlottetown. What a week it's been. Thanks so much to the whole staff and for the opportunity to be here.
It's playoff day, and it's going to be a live one.

One thing about PEI... The sky is certainly big.

With some key rankings updated recently, here's a view of the current landscape for the 2025 NHL Draft.
Some tiers definitely developing, but I'd say brace for chaos.

With some new rankings available going into this evening, here's a weighed average of the rankings I track, but seeing as Bob McKenzie's list is just 16 names long, I am still using his midseason list.

A bajillion new rankings have dropped in the last week or so, and we're getting into 2025 NHL Draft season real fast!
We'll discuss all of this and more tomorrow on Scouching Live at 2pm EST at youtube.com/scouching!

With some new lists dropping and finalizing my own, here's where we stand with a weighed average of ~20 rankings in my database. We're definitely seeing some tiers forming but I don't buy this staying this way whatsoever.

Lucky you, ended my day tracking both so this is freshly updated!
Hagens: A gifted playmaker getting more confident with his shot selection and more physical than you might think.
Martone: Also a gifted playmaker, also getting better with shot selection and less physical than you may think.

Puck carrying monster with some inside playmaking and crazy work rate. I love him but have no idea what to think of him beyond a solid 3rd line speedy and pesky centre.

I love me some Billy Z, but the numbers don't quite back it up. A great defensive zone presence, forechecker and transition quarterback who just hasn't gotten the offensive results at 5v5 yet, but he's trying.
Impressive player with speed, pace and creativity.

If anything his defensive results are a hallmark of his game in my sample, and I think he's a bit of a fish out of water with TC. Plenty of stuff he tries just goes unrewarded on the other end way too often.

Eklund does outperform Frondell in many areas but his profile is simpler due to Frondell's injuries and league jumping.

No clearer example of "Give me the puck, and I'm just going to do the whole thing by myself, just go to the net."
Then not doing much, rinse, repeat.

So far one of the best overall profiles. Do I buy it? Not particularly, but he's a smart player who drives great results in transition with simple, but effective offensive zone results. Very passive and ineffective defensively on the rush, but still a very good contributor.
