By Corey Pronman Verified| The Athletic Verified The 2025 NHL Draft picture is becoming clearer as we approach June. Matthew Schaefer is a decent No. 1 prospect, but the top of this draft overall isn't great, leading this to being a below-average draft class. It's a strong forward group, especially at center, with several premium forward prospects. It's a poor defense group, though. The second defenseman picked this year would have been my sixth- or seventh-ranked defenseman last season. Ranked players are placed into tiers and given tool grades.
