2025 NHL Draft: Who are the best players available on day two?

After the first round of the 2025 NHL Draft, 32 players were selected but there are still a lot of interesting prospects available when day two will get underway shortly after 12 p.m. Eastern (NHL Network, Sportsnet). The San Jose Sharks have the 33rd pick. The Montreal Canadiens’ next pick, their first should they keep it, is 41st overall.

Six players remaining had a first-round grade in our consensus rankings. The top player on the board is forward Malcolm Spence, who was ranked 20th. The other players in the top-32 are forwards Milton Gastrin (27th), Cameron Schmidt (28th), Eric Nilson (31st), and William Moore (32nd). There is also defender Blake Fiddler (30th).

EOTP’s 2025 Consensus NHL Draft Rankings

There are prospects who had second round grades who should also hear their named called early on Saturday, including forward Alexander Zharnovsky (34), Theo Stockselius (42), and Ivan Ryabkin (47).

Two goaltenders were taken in the first round for the first time since 2021, but there is still some talent on the board with Jack Ivankovic (48) and Semyon Frolov (59) leading the way at that position, among others.

The Canadiens have, for the moment, picks 41, 49, 79, 81, 82, 108, 113, 145, 177, and 209.

Here are all the players ranked in our consensus ranking who are still available.
