1 week ago | nhlentrydraft.com | Stuart Miller-Davis

Second time could be the charm for more than a few members of the 2025 NHL Draft class. Third time, too. Every year at the draft, some players slip through the cracks only to appear in later years as overage entries. Whether they took a step forward or showed something extra with the added time, these players should find homes with NHL clubs in this go-round.

Mason West is hard to miss. The hulking center is always the center of attention, whether that’s with Edina on Minnesota’s high-school circuit or with Fargo in the United States Hockey League. After graduating from the Minnesota high school hockey ranks this season, West impressed during a short stint where he produced almost a point-per- game with nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 10 contests before participating in a pair of playoff skates.

A historic scoring streak from Gavin McKenna has ended. McKenna was held off the scoresheet in Game 2 of the Western Hockey League Final on Sunday, halting the 17-year-old’s impressive 54-game run. The loss, 6-2 to Spokane, was the first time the phenom had been held pointless since Brandon shut out Medicine Hat on Nov. 2. “The point streak itself is more of a representation of the kind of trajectory he’s on and how the WHL isn’t much of a challenge for him,” FCHockey scout Kareem Elshafey said.

It also saw Team USA eke out a 4-3 overtime win against Slovakia to claim bronze. Swedish winger Filip Ekberg stole the headlines with his performance in Texas for the silver medal-winning squad.

Katzin is an offensive-minded, playmaking winger with great pace and vision. His strength lies in his playmaking ability—he’s an excellent passer who finds teammates all over the ice. While he tends to control the puck around the perimeter, he doesn’t shy away from threading passes through seams to create high-danger chances. He’s a good skater—not quite a dynamic mover, but he has solid...
