Here is my (very early) #2025NHLDraft watchlist! This list consists of players who caught my eye in my DY-1 viewings of them, and are guys I will continue to monitor closely throughout their draft year. Any thoughts, concerns, comments? Drop ‘em down below 👇

A great showing from the Slovak keeper has already put some eyes on him for the #2025NHLDraft. FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Härenstam continues to impress me for the #2025NHLDraft. One of the most fluid movers I’ve seen. FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Štěbeták's performance earned him player of the game honours for Team Czechia. The reactive goalie shows promise in a few areas of his game, but needs some work on others. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Ryan Cameron was a name I hadn't heard of until this tournament, but his stable presence backed U.S.A. to a close finish against the Czechs. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Birchler’s frame is something that’ll make NHL teams immediately interested in his development. The 6-foot-5 goaltender has some work to do, but could be a fun guy to check back on later in the season. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Beckman was someone who I was sort of surprised to find on team Canada, but his calm presence in net showed he could be a draft pick in the #2025NHLDraft. FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Stuhrmann had some good habits and a sound technical game, but I think his game is just far too raw to be considered a draftable guy at this moment. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Sammalniemi is as good as they get technically and has a very strong stance. If he continues to develop, I could see him being a late pick. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Ivankovic is my #1 goalie prospect at the moment, and I think it’s not particularly close. Check out my report below to learn what propels him to the top of my list. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Isak Sörqvist and Love Härenstam will be a great tandem to monitor in Luleå this season, and both has strong showings at the Hlinka. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Henriquez continues to impress me with his movement mechanics and speed in the crease. Easily one of my early favourites for the #2025NHLDraft. FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Kerkola looked great when I watched him in his draft -1 season, but I was a bit concerned with what I saw at the #HlinkaGretzkyCup. I do still believe he has the raw ability to find himself being drafted in 2025 however. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup

Härenstam’s 2nd #HlinkaGretzkyCup appearance in his career went better than last year, and he should continue to boost his stock playing with Luleå J20 in Sweden. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey

Ivankovic continues to impress every viewing. He’s consistent and the most pro-ready goalie prospect I’ve seen in a while. #2025NHLDraft FCHockey #HlinkaGretzkyCup
