SCOUT BREAKS DOWN TOP 32 USHL PROSPECTS FOR 2025 NHL DRAFT

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Sebastian High, Hadi Kalakeche April 23, 2025 Duration: 39:28

In this episode, I break down my penultimate USHL rankings heading into our April meeting at Elite Prospects. While the group lacks starpower and top-20 contenders, it features a wealth of talent in the late-1st to mid-3rd round range. First, we cover the Top 10, headlined by Vacláv Nestrašil, William Moore, and Jack Murtagh. Next, we progress through the 2nd and 3rd round talents, before wrapping things up in the final segment with 12 more prospects you should keep an eye out for come draft day.
