2025 NHL Draft thread

I think that's exactly it. Somehow they drag out those lame interviews and then the "draft clock" is still ticking even after that. There really isn't a great format for this stuff to make it more appealing but it feels like it should be easy enough to not have 10+ minutes between selections.

I don't think this is all on Bettman but the NHL consistently does a poor job marketing the league and it's been the same executives for 30 years. I don't think we see any meaningful change in approach until the dinosaurs like Bettman/Campbell/Daly go away
 
Pierre Engvall vibes but plays tight to the net?

Thommie Bergman territory
Edit: Christoffer Hedlund is the area scout credited with promoting this pick

153 Harry Nansi

A giant baby (relatively)

Smaht Scouting ranked him quite high
#47 – Harry Nansi – C – Owen Sound

Nansi probably has the most statistically uncommon profile of any player in this range of the draft. Production has been hard to come by for him in a depth role in the OHL this season, but being one the youngest players of the draft class, with the flashes of brilliance he’s shown, he still represents a reasonable bet in this range. A decent skater for his size, Nansi’s appeal mostly stems from his moments of brilliance with the puck on his stick mostly on the playmaking side. Always very active in every zone, if Nansi ever makes it, it’ll be in a depth role, where he’ll endear himself to his team and its fans with his relentless style and occasional offensive pop, without ever looking too lost in his own zone either. A very easy player to enjoy watching, even though you’d like him to be a bit more effective physically for a player of this size. (Thomas Gagné)
