There were players I missed out on at the 2025 NHL draft because I waited a bit too long, such as Zeb Lindgren. I was looking to take him with the 140th pick, and everything looked good until he went one pick earlier to the New York Rangers. Sean Barnhill was another target of mine, but he went a few picks before I had the chance to draft him.

The Detroit Red Wings have nine picks in the 2025 NHL Draft, including an extra one in the third and seventh rounds.
