Just days before the highly anticipated 2025 NHL Draft, all eyes are on picks 16 and 17 held by Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens.
On that note, here's an intriguing potential acquisition for the Habs if he's still available: Roger McQueen.

At 18 years old, McQueen tallied 20 points in 17 games this season (10 goals and 10 assists), and recorded 51 points in 53 games last season.
Roger McQueen is above all a towering 6-foot-5, 200-pound center who is undoubtedly THE hidden gem of the 2025 draft.
If his back is indeed fully healed as he claims, and there's no risk of re-injury, he could be a total home run-especially if he slips out of the top 10.
