2025 NHL Draft class superlatives: Ranking the best skaters, shooters, hands and more
Welcome to my annual draft class superlatives. This year-end class project (pun intended) is like the 'best of' or 'most likely to' section of your high school yearbook, except the graduating class is each draft class. My final draft board and draft package ranking the top 100 prospects (plus 30 honorable mentions and 15 overagers) in the 2025 NHL Draft is already out. Today, I rank the prospects across several different categories: best skaters, best shooters, best hands, most competitive, smartest, most physical, most well-rounded forwards and strongest. The three 5-foot-7ish guys in this class can all absolutely fly, but the two best skaters in this class are Cullen Potter and Matthew Schaefer. Nobody can wind up like Potter (Cameron Schmidt, who I've seen pointed to as the top skater in the class, included), who is one of the fastest skaters I've scouted both in straight lines and rounding corners through his edges. And nobody flows north-south up and down the ice as effortlessly as Schaefer does. Reese Hamilton's edges also get high marks, and Radim Mrtka and Simon Wang aren't just good skaters for 6-foot-5-plus but good skaters by any measure. Advertisement 1. Cullen Potter 2. Matthew Schaefer 3. Cameron Schmidt 4. L.J. Mooney 5. Adam Benak 6. Ben Kevan 7. Reese Hamilton 8. James Hagens 9. Michael Misa 10. Sascha Boumedienne 11. Cameron Reid 12. Luca Romano 13. Haoxi 'Simon' Wang Honorable mentions: Radim Mrtka, Lasse Boelius, Jackson Smith, Viggo Nordlund, Tomas Galvas, Daniel Nieminen, Kieren Dervin, Arvid Drott, Malcolm Spence, Lirim Amidovski This draft class doesn't have any big-time shooters, and trying to find names for this category underscored that. Last year's class had snipers such as Cole Eiserman and Justin Poirier, and defensemen such as Zayne Parekh and Carter Yakemchuk who could really shoot it. Even Tij Iginla had a noteworthy shot. None of the players in this class have that kind of pop off the blade, with Schmidt maybe being the closest thing when he really rocks it back into his pocket and lets it rip. 1. Cameron Schmidt 2. Justin Carbonneau 3. Anton Frondell 4. Jakob Ihs-Wozniak 5. Kashawn Aitcheson 6. Jack Murtagh 7. Porter Martone 8. Bryce Pickford 9. Michael Misa Honorable mentions: Daniil Prokhorov, Emile Guite, Charlie Trethewey, Cooper Simpson, Brent Solomon, Brady Martin, Carter Bear They call Ryker Lee 'The Wizard,' and he lives up to the name, with the slickest hands and puck skill that I watched in this draft from an ankle-breaking/in-a-phone-booth/one-on-one perspective. Jake O'Brien is the next closest in terms of touch and feel on the puck. L.J. Mooney's hands are particularly impressive for how they blend in with his skating and agility, though, too. He finds his way out of trouble and through holes better than anyone in the class. There are a couple of big, strong wingers whose hands I wanted to draw attention to in Justin Carbonneau and Porter Martone as well. Those two love the toe drag and execute it very skillfully. Fondrk is a sneaky one, too. His teammates give his skill level a lot of love, and if he'd been healthy this year, I think it would have been more of a talking point. Advertisement 1. Ryker Lee 2. Jake O'Brien 3. L.J. Mooney 4. Justin Carbonneau 5. James Hagens 6. Porter Martone 7. Alexander Zharovsky 8. Michael Misa 9. Conrad Fondrk 10. Ivan Ryabkin Honorable mentions: Brady Martin, Benjamin Kindel, Cullen Potter, Adam Benak, Viktor Klingsell, Aidan Lane, Filip Ekberg, Philippe Veilleux, Benjamin Rautiainen, Roger McQueen, Caleb Desnoyers, Cole Reschny For what this class might lack in the shooters category, it makes up for with some high, high-end hockey IQ types. I think Adam Benak thinks it at the highest plane, but there are some very, very smart players in this group who really understand how to navigate the ice. You'll notice Martone appearing in some places you might not have expected (like here), too, and not in some others you might have thought (like most competitive and most physical). I think he has been miscast in the public sphere a little. People see the size, the penalty minute totals and that he dropped the gloves a few times this year and assume he's the ultra-competitive type. But scouts actually want him to be more consistently competitive and intense, and folks around the OHL laud him for his smarts and skill first. 1. Adam Benak 2. James Hagens 3. Jake O'Brien 4. Caleb Desnoyers 5. Benjamin Kindel 6. Michael Misa 7. L.J. Mooney 8. Matthew Schaefer 9. Cole Reschny 10. Cameron Reid 11. Porter Martone Honorable mentions: William Moore, Roger McQueen, Victor Eklund, Luka Radivojevic, Jack Ivankovic I think Brady Martin stands alone in this attribute in this class, with Kashawn Aitcheson and Victor Eklund in another class behind him. Martin's only got one mode, and it's all-out. He runs hot, he imposes his will on shifts and he never gives up on a puck. Aitcheson plays consistently hard and mean as well, but Martin has no let-up. And then Eklund's motor and stick-to-itiveness are really admirable for a sub-6-foot, sub-170-pound winger. Shoutout to the diminutive Mooney, who gets full marks for his effort level and compete at his size. I wanted to give him some flowers as well. Advertisement 1. Brady Martin 2. Kashawn Aitcheson 3. Victor Eklund 4. Carter Klippenstein 5. Milton Gastrin 6. Carter Bear 7. Malcolm Spence 8. Bill Zonnon 9.

Mooney, Shane Vansaghi, Tyler Hopkins, Tomas Pobezal Nobody in this class delivers hits harder or more often than Martin, though NTDPers Mace'o Phillips and William Belle sure can't help themselves (often to a fault) either. Physicality is also Swedish D Malte Vass' calling card. 1. Brady Martin 2. Kashawn Aitcheson 3. Mace'o Phillips 4. William Belle 5. Malte Vass 6. David Bedkowski Honorable mentions: Carter Bear, Jack Nesbitt, Peyton Kettles, Shane Vansaghi, Carter Klippenstein, Daniil Prokhorov Shane Vansaghi looks like a 30-year-old pro physically already, and, importantly, you can actually see it on the ice as well. He bullied mid-20s players in college hockey as a teenager this year, dominating some games on the forecheck and manhandling some guys below the goal line. He plays big-boy hockey the way a lot of bottom-six NHLers do. 1. Shane Vansaghi 2. Mace'o Phillips 3. William Belle 4. David Bedkowski 5. Charlie Trethewey Honorable mentions: Anton Frondell, Kashawn Aitcheson, Brady Martin, Cole McKinney, Porter Martone, Carter Klippenstein, William Horcoff, Sean Barnhill, Jack Murtagh, Daniil Prokhorov, David Bedkowski, Justin Carbonneau, Carter Amico, Hayden Paupanekis, Brady Peddle, Peyton Kettles I always like to finish with this, because I think it's important to highlight young players who understand both sides of the puck and the intangibles of the game, because they're the hardest attributes to find in teenagers. These are all very mature, complete players at an age where many play immature, incomplete games. Guys who understand the little things. Advertisement 1. Caleb Desnoyers 2. Milton Gastrin 3.

Tom Brady praises LeBron James as 'the greatest ever' while appearing together on Fanatics Fest panel
The past, present and future greatness of sports was on stage at Fanatics Fest in New York on Saturday with LeBron James, Tom Brady and Victor Wembanyama among those participating in a live version of James' talk show "The Shop: Uninterrupted." Brady provided a quote to remember in praising James for his career achievements, particularly notable coming from the quarterback many consider the greatest in NFL history with seven Super Bowl championships. But to Brady, LeBron is the greatest of all time. "With the intensity that's been on him, the Olympics, the different teams that he's been on, he's always done things the right way," Brady said, via a video clip by Anthony Rivardo. "He's always risen above all the noise and B.S. and continued to deliver." "So you're witnessing the greatest ever and I hope you guys all appreciate that." James is the NBA's all-time leading scorer, winning four NBA championships (and playing in 10 NBA Finals), four NBA MVP awards and three Olympic gold medals. Advertisement But as Brady pointed out, he's faced a level of scrutiny during his career that might be unmatched going back to him entering the NBA as an 18-year-old straight out of high school, while also enduring criticism for how he left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat by announcing the decision on ESPN. Paul Rivera, Victor Wembanyama, LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Tom Brady and Kai Cenat appeared onstage at Fanatics Fest NYC 2025 on June 21, 2025. (Photo by) (Slaven Vlasic via Getty Images) "The Shop" was always intended to feature unfiltered discussion from sports stars, emulating the conversation that would take place in a barber shop. Saturday's panel did not disappoint in that regard, featuring several memorable sound bites in addition to Brady's praise of James. Brady said that visiting New York always means taking jabs from New York Giants fans about the two Super Bowls that he lost to the team with the New England Patriots. Advertisement "How does it feel to be Eli Manning's son?" he said a Giants fan asked him while the two appeared at Fanatics Fest on Friday. James was asked how much longer he would play before retiring. The Los Angeles Lakers star has a $52 million player option for next season and can then become a free agent. After joking that Brady played football until he was 59 years old, James then said that Wembanyama — who led the NBA with an average of 3.8 blocks per game — might end up pushing him into retirement sooner than planned. "I can't play that much further," James said. "And the more and more time that I play, as long as he keeps smacking my shots into the f***ing stands, he's gonna make me retire." The 21-year-old Wembanyama then responded that James might retire after him. The San Antonio Spurs center recently finished his second NBA season, which was cut short with two months to play due to a blood clot in his right shoulder.
