The Toronto Sceptres will pick third, while the Ottawa Charge will pick fifth at the 2025 PWHL Draft.
At those positions, the Charge and Sceptres are destined to get one of Kristyna Kaltounkova, Haley Winn, Casey O'Brien, Nicole Gosling, Rory Guilday, or Natalie Mlynkova.
The cohort is a strong group that will be capable of each impacting their new team immediately. Beyond this group, question marks begin to emerge in terms of who will go next, but the top six seem set.
Cee Benwell discusses Toronto's difficult decision at third overall to stay with their Team Canada ties and select defender Nicole Gosling, or to shift their style and pick elite forward Casey O'Brien.
Similarly, Chris Sinclair talks about Ottawa's choice, which he believes will come down to a decision between defender Rory Guilday and forward Natalie Mlynkova.
