  • • 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.
