Florida Panthers NHL Draft guide: Picks, best fits and analysis
The Florida Panthers have five picks in the 2025 NHL Draft: Nos. 112, 128, 129, 192, 224. Here’s what to expect.
Pronman’s team needs
Florida has sold almost every major pick and prospect it had in recent years to win now. The Panthers do at least have some young forwards of interest in Anton Lundell and Mackie Samoskevich. There’s nothing coming on defense, though, and there hasn’t been for a while.
