  • • 2025 NHL Draft Targets: Defense
    If Don Waddell ends up walking to the podium for either pick #14 or #20, he should pick the best available player. With that said, it’s certainly possible the “best available” list could be a bit biased towards a big need, defensemen. This year’s draft isn’t perceived to be as strong as recent years.

However, there are still circumstances where EBUGs are needed, and if you don't recognize the Edmonton Oilers goaltender to the left that's likely because you're not watching enough Canada West hockey. Tyler Palmer is normally wearing t...2025

    I'm not here to pass judgment on people who are working on making themselves better after being jerks in the past.
