The 2025 PWHL Draft scouting season is underway with national team camps, European leagues underway, and the college season starting. Here's a look at The Hockey News 2025 PWHL preseason draft rankings.
Looking at the initial group of players who could, or are expected to declare for the 2025 PWHL Draft, it's another talent laden cohort set to make the league stronger and deeper. Following this draft, teams will all be four lines deep of players who can move up and down the lineup. There are some question marks for this draft. Those are primarily around two American players - Abbey Murphy and Lacey Eden - who technically have another season of NCAA eligibility, but have been in school for five years already due to an Olympic gap. The other question mark involves veteran European players like Jenni Hiirikoski and Michelle Karvinen. If they declare, it will certainly shake the rankings. In the meantime, here's The Hockey News' preseason 2025 PWHL Draft Rankings.
