Is Michael Misa the steal of the 2025 draft? He’s on pace to challenge some serious CHL scoring records, even surpassing some notable names from recent years. Is his ranking at number three undervaluing his potential, or are Schaefer and Hagens truly in a league of their own? What do you think his NHL ceiling is?

The FCHockey Spring rankings have sparked some interesting debate. While Schaefer remains at the top, is his lack of recent game time due to injury a concern? Can he truly maintain his number one spot without proving he’s fully recovered? How much weight should be given to recent performance versus overall potential, particularly when injuries are involved?

Another point of discussion, the top ranked goalie, Joshua Ravensbergen, comes in at 32nd overall. Is this a fair assessment of goaltending prospects in this draft class, or does it point to a larger trend of undervaluing the position in early rankings? Where do you see the true value of a high-end goaltender lying in a draft like this?

Finally, Porter Martone’s physicality combined with skill is highlighted. How much does this blend impact his draft stock? Is this the type of player that thrives in today’s NHL, or are pure skill players still the most sought after commodity? I predict a top five selection for him, but am I overestimating his value? Let’s hear your thoughts.
