The 2025 NHL Draft will begin on Friday at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, featuring seven rounds of selections.
The back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Panthers have shown the importance of drafting well at the top. Aleksander Barkov, Aaron Ekblad, and Anton Lundell were all first-round picks by Florida that made an impact on their championship runs.
Talent, however, can come from all rounds of the draft. Some of the best league’s best players in the 2000s and 2010s, like Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Lundqvist, were late-round selections.
