The 2025 NHL draft kicks off Friday evening, so it’s time to get in the spirit by conducting the final mock draft of the season.
thehockeynews.comI don’t have a current update in my memory, but I can point you to reliable sources for the latest NHL mock drafts and how to interpret them.
What you’ll want to check
- NHL.com mock drafts: regular updates from their staff after major events (draft lotteries, combine, etc.). They often publish multiple scenarios with rationale.
- The Hockey News and The Hockey Writers: publish yearly and mid-season mock drafts with prognostications for first rounds and notable standouts.
- Sporting News and The Score: provide quick-turnaround mock drafts and buzz around top prospects.
How to verify freshness (quick guide)
- Look for publish dates: latest drafts should be within the current season’s lead-up or after key events (combine, lottery, or draft year milestones).
- Compare multiple outlets to gauge consensus on top prospects and order.
- Check for notes on trades or penalties that could alter picks.
