97. Ottawa Senators: Jordan Gavin, LW, Brandon Wheat Kings (WHL)
    
    
    Ottawa gets a left winger for their prospect pool with this fourth round pick from the San Jose Sharks. Jordan Gavin was the only preseason first round prospect to fall out of my top 96 so he kicks off round 4.
    
    
    
    Jordan Gavin was the second pick in the 2021 WHL Draft. Jordan Gavin checked off a lot of boxes when watching his tape.
    
    
    
    The 5-11 181 lb Jordan Gavin had 22 goals, 32 assists, and 54 points in 62 WHL games in 2022-2023. Jordan Gavin had 0 goals, 2 assists, and 2 points in 6 games during the 2023 WHL Playoffs. Jordan Gavin had 23 goals, 45 assists, and 68 points in 68 WHL games in 2023-2024. Jordan Gavin had 21 goals, 36 assists, and 57 points after being traded from the Tri City-Americans to the Brandon Wheat Kings in 2024-2025. Jordan Gavin had 0 goals, 3 assists, and 3 points in 5 games during the 2025 WHL Playoffs.
    
    
    
    Jordan Gavin has the skating, foot speed, playmaking, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. He's the fifty seventh player with experience to be a first line player as well as potential to be a first line player in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
    
    
    
    You can argue Jordan Gavin is the sixty fifth best player in the draft as only 56 other skaters have expereince on the top line with 8 goalies checking off all 10 boxes for me. Jordan Gavin might fall farther than this in real life, but he feels like an absolute bargain in the fourth round.
    
    
    
98. Chicago Blackhawks: Bruno Osmanis, RW, IF Bjorkloven (Allsvenskan)
    
    
    The Chicago Blackhawks use their fourth round pick on another right winger. Bruno Osmanis is a steal in the fourth round as the right winger for IF Bjorkloven is graded as high as the second round round with 3 scouting services putting him in the second round and 3 more putting him in the third round.
    
    
    
    The 5-11 170 lb Bruno Osmanis had 12 goals, 25 assists, and 37 points in 31 games on the IF Bjorkloven Under 20 Team in 2024-2025. Bruno Osmanis had 1 goal, 6 assiss, and 7 points in 27 games with Allsvenskan in 2024-2025.
    
    
    
    Bruno Osmanis has the skating, playmaking, passing, sniping, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Bruno Osmanis is the fifty eighth skater with experience on the first line in the 2025 NHL Draft. Bruno Osmanis is under contract with IF Bjorkloven until the end of the 2026-2027 season. He can go to the AHL club of the NHL team that drafts him in 2027.
    
    
    
    
    
99. New Jersey Devils: Dakota Rheaume-Mullen, D, Michigan
    
    
    The Nashville Predators traded their fourth round pick to the New Jersey Devils. Dakota Rheaume-Mullin is a bargain at this point in the fourth round.
    
    
    
    The 6-0 181 lb Dakota Rheamue-Mullen is the son of Manon Rheaume a former professional womens hockey goalie that played professionally for the Tampa Bay Lightning in the period of an exhibition game. Dakota Rheamue-Mullen had 3 goals, 6 assists, and 9 points in his freshman season with Michigan.
    
    
    
    Dakota Rheamue-Mullen has the speed, explosion, burst, agility, skating, foot speed, playmaking, passing, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Dakota Rheamue-Mullen needs to develop his shot, but he could be in the AHL by 2027 or 2028 with the right development path. If he dominates the AHL an NHL opportunity could present itself down the road. Dakota Rheamue-Mullen began the Michigan Wolverines season as Michigan's number one defenseman. He was the number four defenseman on the second line by January, and finished his freshman season as the number six defender on the Michigan Wolverines third line. He's the fifty ninth player with first line exepreince in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
    
    
    
    Dakota Rheamue-Mullen has the floor of a number six defenseman on an AHL team and the ceiling of a number one defenseman on an NHL team. When he reaches his ceiling he will either be a number one defenseman in the AHL or a number six defenseman in the NHL. I've seen Dakota Rheamue-Mullen mocked as early as the second round and as late as the fourth round. If you think he can be a first line defenseman you probably have a second round grade on him. If you think he can be a second line defenseman in the NHL you probably have him in the third round. If you think he's a third line defenseman in the NHL like I do he's a guy who could potentially slip to the fourth round. If he slips out of the top 100, I would think a team would pounce at the opportunity to draft this project defenseman.
    
    
    
100. Boston Bruins: Patrik Kerkola, G, Kalevan Pallo (SM Liiga)
     
     
     Boston has the Philadelphia Flyers fourth round pick. Boston extended Jeremy Swayman to an eight year deal, so the Boston Bruins can roll the dice on Patrik Kerkola.
     
     
     
     The 6-3 194 lb Patrik Kerkola dressed in 36 games, played in 31 games, and started 29 games for the Kalevan Pallo Under 20 Team where he posted an .883 save percentage and a 3.14 goals against average going 15-14 while failing to record a shutout in 2024-2025. He also had a 3.13 goals against average and a .842 save percentage in his debut game with Kalevan Pallo in Liiga the league once known as SM Liiga.
     
     
     
     Style, Post Integration, Glove, Blocker Pad, Reading The Puck By Tracking, Rebound Control, Post Save Recovery, Quickness, Footwork, and Puckhandling. Those are ten different categories that NHL Draft Scouts use to evaluate goalies. Patrik Kerkola checks off all ten boxes just like the other eight goaies in the 2025 NHL Draft that I ranked ahead of him in Joshua Ravensbergen, Jack Ivankovic, Pyotr Andreyanov, Alexei Medvedev, Lucas Beckman, Elijah Neuenschwander, Michal Pradel, and Ondrej Stebetak.
     
     
     
     
     
101. Anaheim Ducks: Gabriel D'Aigle, G, Victoriaville Tigres (QMJHL)
     
     
     There is one more goalie that checks off all ten boxes, but his production is underwhelming. Gabriel D'Aigle was drafted second overall by the Victoriaville Tigres in the 2022 QMJHL Draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-4 211 lb Gabriel D'Aigle posted a .894 save percentage, a 3.18 goals agaisnt average, 2 shutouts, and a 13-6 record in 19 starts while playing 21 games as a rookie for the Victoriaville Tigres in 2022-2023. Gabriel D'Aigle posted a 3.87 goals against average, a .879 save percentage, 1 shutout, and went 13-6-2 in 21 starts and 25 games played in 2023-2024. He started 1 game for the Victoriaville Tigres during the 2024 QMJHL Playoffs. Gabriel D'Aigle had a 4.52 goals against average, a .883 save percentage, 1 shutout, and a 16-33-2 record starting 51 games and playing 55 games for the Victoriaville Tigres in 2024-2025.
     
     
     
     Despite the losing record in his first full season as a starting goalie, Gabriel D'Aigle checked off all 10 boxes that scouts look for in a goalie. He also trained with Marc-Andre Fleury when Marc-Andre Fleury decided play pick up hockey with some younger players in Canada during his free time.
     
     
     
     Style, Post Integration, Glove, Blocker Pad, Reading The Puck By Tracking, Rebound Control, Post Save Recovery, Quickness, Footwork, and Puckhandling. Those are ten different categories that NHL Draft Scouts use to evaluate goalies. Gabriel D'Aigle checks off all ten boxes just like the other nine goaies in the 2025 NHL Draft that I ranked ahead of him in Joshua Ravensbergen, Jack Ivankovic, Pyotr Andreyanov, Alexei Medvedev, Lucas Beckman, Elijah Neuenschwander, Michal Pradel, Ondrej Stebetak, and Patrik Kerkola.
     
     
     
     There were two goalies that checked off 9 out of 10 boxes still on the board in Peterri Rimpinen and Love Harenstam. Those goalies could end up getting drafted ahead of Gabriel D'Aigle and most NHL Mock Drafts have those two ahead of Gabriel D'Aigle despite what I saw on film.
     
     
     
102. Minnesota Wild: Maxim Agafanov, D, Salavat Yulaev UFA (KHL)
     
     
     Minnesota drafts a defenseman. Maxim Agafanov is a bargain in the fourth round and could get drafted as early as the second round.
     
     
     
     The 6-2 198 lb Maxim Agafanov had 6 goals, 8 assists, and 14 points in the MHL in 2024-2025. Maxim Agafanov had 1 goal, 2 assists, and 3 points in the VHL in 2024-2025.
     
     
     
     Maxim Agafanov has skating, speed, playmaking, passing, sniping, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Maxim Agafanov was the number one defenseman on both his MHL and VHL teams. He's the sixtieth player with experience on a first line in the 2025 NHL Draft.
     
     
     
     
     
103. Buffalo Sabres: Peterri Rimpinen, G, Kiekko-Espoo (SM Liiga)
     
     
     Buffalo drafts a goalie. Peterri Rimpinen is the best goalie available at this point in the fourth round. Ukko-Pekka Lukkonen, Buffalo's 2017 second round pick posted a 24-24-5 record posting a 3.20 goals against average and .887 save percentage in his third season as a starting goalie in 2024-2025. The backup goalie Devon Levi showed a lot of promise in his 7 starts in 2022-2023, but he's gotten worse each of the last two seasons with his save percentage decreasing and goals against average increasing each of the last two seasons. Devon Levi went 5-2 and 10-8-2 in his first two seasons which is why I gave him one more year to turn things around. This year Levi went a pedestrian 2-7 in 9 games played. It's gotten to the tipping point where Buffalo needs to draft another goalie to push these two goalies to play better.
     
     
     
     The 6-0 176 lb Peterri Rimpinen had 2.35 goals against average, a .912 save percentage, 95 goals allowed, 986 saves, 2 shutouts, and a 16-9-14 record with Kiekko-Espoo in Liiga once known as SM Liiga in 2024-2025.
     
     
     
     The 19-year-old goalie checked off 9/10 boxes. Rebound control is the lone area of improvement for Peterri Rimpinen. Peterri Rimpinen can go to the AHL in 2026 since his contract in Finland with Kiekko-Espoo expires after next season.
     
     
     
104. Anaheim Ducks: Maddox Labre, D, Victoriaville Tigres (QMJHL)
     
     
     Anaheim Ducks drafts a defender. Anaheim originally traded this pick to the New York Rangers, but got it back by taking on Chris Kreider's contract.
     
     
     
     The 6-2 198 lb Maddox Labre had 3 goals, 16 assists, and 19 points in 61 games as the Victoriaville Tigres number one defenseman on the first line. He just finished his junior year of High School. After he graduates next year, he is going from Victoriaville to Ohio State on a hockey scholarship.
     
     
     
     Maddox Labre has the skating, foot speed, playmaking, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ you covet. Maddox Labre needs to develop his slap shot accuracy and improve his +/- ratio, but the rest of his game is pretty refined for the most part. Madox Labre is the sixty first player with experience on a first line in the 2025 NHL Draft.
     
     
     
     
     
105. Pittsburgh Penguins: Luke Vlooswyk, D, Red Deer Rebels (WHL)
     
     
     Pittsburgh gets a defenseman prospect for the future. Luke Vlooswyk was drafted seventeenth overall by the Red Deer Rebels in the 2022 WHL Draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-5 200 lb Luke Vlosswyk had 3 goals, 14 assists, 17 points, and a +8 +/- ratio in 2024-2025. He was the Red Deer Rebels best defenseman, but some scouts are divided on whether he's underrated or overrated which is why he slipped to the fourth round of my 2025 NHL Mock Draft.
     
     
     
     Luke Vlosswyk has the passing, playmaking, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ you want to succeed in the NHL. Luke Vlooswyk is the sixty second player with experience on a first line in the 2025 NHL Draft.
     
     
     
106. New York Islanders: Tyler Hopkins, C, Kingston Frontenacs (OHL)
     
     
     The New York Islanders get a center to stash and develop. One player I heard that the New York Islanders love on day 2 of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft is Kingston Frontenacs center Tyler Hopkins. Tyler Hopkins was drafted fourth overall by the Kingston Frontenacs in the 2023 OHL Draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-1 179 lb Tyler Hopkins had 20 goals, 31 assists, and 51 points in 67 OHL games in 2024-2025. Tyler Hopkins had 0 goals, 5 assists, and 5 points in 11 games during the 2025 OHL Playoffs. Tyler Hopkins has the versatility to play left winger, center, and right winger.
     
     
     
     Tyler Hopkins has the skating, foot speed, versatility, playmaking, passing, sniping, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Tyler Hopkins needs to improve his defensive awareness.
     
     
     
     
     
107. New York Rangers: Nathan Quinn, C, Quebec Remparts (QMJHL)
     
     
     New York goes with the best player available here. Nathan Quinn has a consensus third round grade, but fell to the fourth round in this mock draft.
     
     
     
     The 5-11 173 lb Nathan Quinn had 17 goals, 29 assists, and 46 points in 54 games with the Quebec Remparts in 2024-2025. Nathan Quinn had 1 goal, 2 assists, and 3 points in the 2025 QMJHL Playoffs.
     
     
     
     Nathan Quinn has the skating, foot speed, playmaking, passing, vision, offensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Nathan Quinn needs to refine his shot.
     
     
     
108. Montreal Canadiens: Matous Kucharcik, C, HC Slavia Praha (Extraliga)
     
     
     Montreal got this pick from the Detroit Red Wings. Matous "Jan" Kucharcik is one of the top prospects in the Czech Republic in the 2025 NHL Draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-2 154 lb Matous Kucharcik had 6 goals, 10 assists, and 16 points in 25 games with the HC Slavia Praha Under 20 Team in 2024-2025. Matous Kucharcik had 1 goal, 3 assists, and 4 points with HC Slavia Praha's main roster in 20 games in 2024-2025.
     
     
     
     Matous Kucharcik has the skating, explosion, burst, agility, foot speed, versatility, playmaking, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, offensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Matous Kucharcik has a lot of traits you covet even though there's not a lot of tape on him. There's a reason he cracked Craig Button's top 80.
     
     
     
     
     
109. Columbus Blue Jackets: Love Harenstam, G, Skelleftea AIK (Elitserien)
     
     
     Columbus drafts a goalie to add to their prospect pool. Love Harenstam is a bargain at this point in the fourth round.
     
     
     
     The 6-2 194 lb Love Harenstam posted a 3.31 goals against average and a .895 save percentage in 19 games going 10-9 with 1 shutout on the Skelleftea AIK Under 20 Team in 2024-2025. He's under contract in Sweden until 2027.
     
     
     
     Love Harenstam checks off 9/10 boxes at goalie. His one area of improvement is post integration.
     
     
     
110. Utah Mammoth: Quinn Beauchesne, D, Guelph Storm (OHL)
     
     
     Utah drafts a defenseman to stash and develop. Quinn Beauchesne was drafted fourteenth overall by the Guelph Storm in the 2023 OHL Draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-0 185 lb Quinn Beauchesne had 6 goals, 18 assists, and 24 points in 49 games with the Guelph Storm in 2024-2025. Quinn Beauchesne was a second line defenseman most of the season.
     
     
     
     Quinn Beauchesne has the skating, foot speed, versatility, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. He did play with Jett Luchanko on some shifts through.
     
     
     
     
     
111. New York Rangers: Carson Cameron, D, Peterborough Petes (OHL)
     
     
     New York drafts a defenseman with the Vancouver Canucks fourth round pick. Carson Cameron was drafted thirteenth overall by the Peterborough Petes in the 2023 OHL Draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-1 193 lb Carson Cameron had 4 goals, 22 assists, and 26 points in 2023-2024. Carson Cameron had 7 goals, 16 assists, and 23 points in 2024-2025.
     
     
     
     Carson Cameron has the skating, playmkaing, passing, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ. He can get physical with forwards by hitting them and and can also block shots effectively.
     
     
     
112. Florida Panthers: Mans Goos, G, Farjestads BK (Elitserien)
     
     
     Florida has Calgary's 2025 fourth round pick. Getting younger at goalie may be a priority after trading Spencer Knight to Chicago.
     
     
     
     The Florida Panthers have Carter Verhaeghe as their first line left winger, Aleksander Barkov their team captain and 2013 first round pick as their first line center, and Sam Reinhart who was drafted second overall by Buffalo in 2014 before being traded to Florida as their first line right winger. Florida has every first line forward under contract until 2030. Florida could have Evan Rodrigues as their second line left winger, Sam Bennett as second line center, and Matthew Tkachuk as their second line right winger. That is contingent on what happens with second line UFA's left winger Brad Marchand and center Sam Bennett who was drafted fourth overall by Calgary in 2014. Florida could have Eetu Luostarinen as their third line left winger, Anton Lundell their 2020 first round pick as their, and Jonah Gadjovich as their third line right winger. Florida could have A.J. Greer as their fourth line left winger, Jesper Boqvist as their fourth line center, and Kai Schmidt as their fourth line right winger. Gracyn Sawchyn their 2023 second round pick will go to the Charlotte Checkers in the AHL for further development after finishing up his WHL career.
     
     
     
     Florida could have Seth Jones and Gustav Forsling as their two first line defensemen if Aaron Ekblad leaves. If Florida finds a way to keep Aaron Ekblad the first pick in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, then Seth Jones and Aaron Ekblad will anchor the top line. Niko Mikkola and Dmitry Kulikov will be your two second line defensemen if Aaron Ekblad leaves, but if Ekblad comes back you are looking at Gustaf Forsling and Niko Mikkola would be the second line defensemen. Florida could have Uvia Balinskis and Michael Benning their 2020 fourth round pick that had 61 points in his draft year as their two third line defensemen if Aaron Ekblad leaves, but if Ekblad returns Dmitry Kulikov and Uvis Balinskis are the two third line defensemen.
     
     
     
     Florida has Sergei Bobrovsky at goalie in a contract year. Daniil Tarasov the Columbus Blue Jackets 2017 third round pick is now the Florida Panthers backup goalie.
     
     
     
     The 6-5 190 lb Mans Goos posted a 3.17 goals against average and a .893 save percentage on the Farjestads BK Under 20 Team in 2024-2025. Mans Goos was the backup goalie in 3 SHL games, but did not see the ice in any games.
     
     
     
     Mans Goos checked off 9/10 boxes. He needs to improve his post integration. With Florida trading for Daniil Tarasov, Mans Goos will have less pressure on him to be the Florida Panthers starting goalie when Sergei Bobrovsky retires.
     
     
     
     
     
113. Montreal Canadiens: Sean Barnhill, D, Dubuque Fighting Saints (USHL)
     
     
     Montreal drafts a highly upside prospect that slipped through the cracks. Sean Barnhill makes a lot of sense at this point midway through the fourth round.
     
     
     
     The 6-5 205 lb Sean Barnhill had 4 goals, 8 assists, 12 points, and a +9 +/- ratio in 54 USHL games in 2024-2025. Sean Barnhill has one more year with the Duqbuque Fighting Saints before enrolling at Northeastern in 2026.
     
     
     
     Sean Barnhill has the skating, foot speed, passing, playmaking, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Sean Barnhill showed the ability to play on the power play as well as the penalty killing unit. He's the sixty third player in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft with experience on a top line.
     
     
     
114. New Jersey Devils: Filip Ekberg, C, Ottawa 67's (OHL)
     
     
     New Jersey drafts a forward with the versatility to play left winger, center, and right winger. Filip Ekberg is from Sweden, but was a first round pick in the 2024 CHL Import Draft.
     
     
     
     The 5-10 166 lb Filip Ekberg had 16 goals, 29 assists, 45 points, and a +5 +/- ratio in 2024-2025. Filip Ekberg has the skating, foot speed, versatility, passing, playmaking, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Filip Ekberg did well on both the power play and penalty killing unit.
     
     
     
     
     
115. San Jose Sharks: Francesco Dell'elce, D, Massachusetts
     
     
     San Jose owns this 2025 fourth round pick from the St. Louis Blues. San Jose still needs fourth line wingers, two third line defensemen, and a backup goalie.
     
     
     
     The 6-1 185 lb Francesco Dell'elce had 7 goals, 17 assists, 24 points, and a +18 +/- ratio in 40 NCAA games with Massachusetts in 2024-2025. Francesco Dell'elce was the number four defenseman on Massachusetts hockey team playing on the second line as a complimentary defender as a true freshman.
     
     
     
     Francesco Dell'elce has the skating, passing, playmaking, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. His traits on tape are good despite not being a top line guy.
     
     
     
116. Buffalo Sabres: David Bedkowski, D, Owen Sound Attack (OHL)
     
     
     Buffalo goes for value over need with Minnesota's fourth round pick. Buffalo is going to draft a defenseman at some point in the 2025 NHL Draft.
     
     
     
     The 6-5 214 lb David Bedkowski had 3 goals, 4 asissts, and 7 points in 2024-2025. David Bedkowski got traded from the Oshawa Gneerals to the Owen Sound Attack.
     
     
     
     David Bedkowski has the skating, versatility, playmaking, passing, sniping, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. David Bedkowski did well on both the power play and penalty killing unit. It really felt like David Bedkowski was taking pressure off of goalie Carter George, the Los Angeles Kings 2024 second round pick when watching his tape despite the underwhelming point total and that would be my arguement for taking a flyer on David Bedkowski.
     
     
     
     
     
117. Edmonton Oilers: Karl Annborn, D, HV71 (Elitserien)
     
     
     Vancouver owned Ottawa's fourth round pick. Vancouver traded this pick to Edmonton for Evander Kane who gives the Canucks a guy who can push Nils Hoglannder and Jake DeBrusk for the first line left winger job next to Elias Petersson and if Jonathan Lekkerimaki their 2022 first round pick breaks out too, that Vancouver first line might be the most deadly its been since the Sedin brothers played. That feels unlikely though. I feel like Edmonton won the Evander Kane trade and I'll explain why in the next paragraph.
     
     
     
     Edmonton frees up 7 million in cap space which is enough to extend both Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard to long-term deals. Also, Edmonton's replacement to Evander Kane is Matthew Savoie, the Buffalo Sabres 2022 first round pick that was drafted ninth overall as Savoie showed a ton of promise with 51 points as a rookie on the Bakersfield Condors in the AHL as Matthew Savoie was my fifth best player in the 2022 NHL Draft trailing only Shane Wright, Juraj Slafkovsky, Logan Cooley, and Simon Nemec on my big board for that draft. Now Savoie will be on the same line as Leon Draisaitl on a entry-level deal for the next two years, and that should frighten people because the former first overall pick in the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft will take off like a rocket ship with Draisaitl and Vadsili Podkolzin as his line mates on Edmonton's second line with Evander Kane gone. Matthew Savoie might be my dark horse to win the Calder Trophy next season. Edmonton goes with a defenseman to add to their prospect pool.
     
     
     
     The 6-1 187 lb Karl Annborn had 3 goals, 21 assists, and 24 points in 39 games with the HV71 Under 20 Team in 2024-2025. Karl Annborn had 0 goals, 1 assists, and 1 point on HV71's SHL team in 2024-2025.
     
     
     
     Karl Annborn has the skating, explosion, burst, agility, skating, foot speed, playmaking, passing, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. Karl Annborn is the sixty fourth player with experience on the first line in the 2025 NHL Draft.
     
     
     
     My player comparison for Karl Annborn is John Klingberg, the Dallas Stars 2011 fifth round pick that actually was the number one defenseman on the Dallas Stars before Miro Heiskanen took his job. John Klingberg had a resurgence with the Edmonton Oilers last year.
     
     
     
118. Colorado Avalanche: Mason Moe, C, Madison Capitols (USHL)
     
     
     Colorado drafts their future fourth line center for the future here. Mason Moe is a player that Colorado could consider with their first pick in the fourth round as a long-term project.
     
     
     
     The 6-1 173 lb Mason Moe had 17 goals, 26 assists, 43 points, 26 penalty minutes, and a +10 +/- ratio in 2024-2025. Mason Moe had 5 goals, 1 assists, and 6 points in 6 games during the 2025 USHL Playoffs.

120. Los Angeles Kings: Zeb Lindgren, D, Skelleftea AIK (Elitserien)
     
     
     The Los Angeles Kings draft a defenseman. Zeb Lindgren makes a lot of sense here.
     
     
     
     The 6-2 192 lb Zeb Lindgren had 4 goals, 15 assists, and 19 points on the Skelleftea AIK Under 20 Team in 2024-2025. Zeb Lindgren had 0 goals, 0 assists, and 0 points in 5 SHL games in 2024-2025. Zeb Lindgren was known for his skating and passing on film.
     
     
     
     
     
121. Toronto Maple Leafs: Max Westergard, LW, Frolunda Indians (Elitserien)
     
     
     Toronto goes for value in the fourth round. Max Westergard is a winger with the versatility to play both left winger and right winger.

He also had 0 goals, 0 assists, and 0 ponts in 4 SHL games, but had 1 goal, 2 assists, and 3 points in 11 games during the 2025 SHL Playoffs.
     
     
     
     Max Westergard has the skating, foot speed, versatility, passing, playmaking. I've seen him in the third round of some mocks, but he needs to develop his shot and improve his defense which is why he fell to the bottom of the fourth round.
     
     
     
122. Vegas Golden Knights: Jamiro Reber, C, HV71 (Elitserien)

     Jamiro Reber has the skating, foot speed, passing, playmaking, sniping, wrist shot power, wrist shot accuracy, slap shot power, slap shot accuracy, vision. offensive awareness, defensive awareness, and hockey IQ to succeed in the NHL. He is the one player that has proven to me he can score in a penalty shootout, so he might be the best penalty shot player in the entire 2025 NHL Draft. He is an international player that could go straight to the AHL as early as this season.
     
     
     
     
     
123. Washington Capitals: Harry Nansi, RW, Owen Sound Attack (OHL)

Evan Passmore has a very limited sample size in the OHL, but he checked off every box when watching his highlights. I can see him becoming a a bottom pairing defenseman in the NHL.
     
     
     
     
     
125. Carolina Hurricanes: Theodore Hallquisth, D, Orebro HK (Elitserien)
