There were players I missed out on at the 2025 NHL draft because I waited a bit too long, such as Zeb Lindgren. I was looking to take him with the 140th pick, and everything looked good until he went one pick earlier to the New York Rangers. Sean Barnhill was another target of mine, but he went a few picks before I had the chance to draft him.

The Detroit Red Wings today selected seven players during the second day of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft at L.A. Live’s Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles. The Red Wings chose right wing Eddie Genborg (44th overall) in the second round before taking goaltender Michal Pradel (75th overall) in the third round.

The Wings selected left wing Carter Bear Friday with the 13th pick in the first round of the NHL Draft. Bear (6-foot, 180 pounds), who suffered a partially torn Achilles tendon that ended his season in March, scored 40 goals in 56 games for Everett (WHL). Bear said expects to be ready for training camp.
