The 2025 NHL draft is done, and what a 24 hours it was for the Penguins! Pittsburgh ended up making three first round picks, a handful of trades and 13 selections. It was a flurry of activity for the team and stocks them up for the future.
Some Sunday thoughts on the event, in fast-paced bullet form.
- The sheer number of picks was a doozy for the Pens. Pittsburgh had only made between 4-6 picks each year from 2013-24. Taking 13 players this year more than doubles the typical yield. The Pens hadn’t drafted 10+ players since 1994.
