Few prospects have climbed draft boards as rapidly with the approach of the 2025 NHL Draft as Brady Martin. With modest rankings by Central Scouting and some consensus lists early this season, Brady Martin's stock has skyrocketed on the strength of a standout OHL season and equally impressive performance at the NHL Scouting Combine.

NHL power forward
An unusual combination of power, leadership, and NHL-caliber competitiveness, Brady Martin is the type of two-way center general managers desire and one that several top-10 clubs are now examining more heavily.
Brady Martin, 6'1", 195-pound right-handed center, patterns his game after physically inclined forwards such as Sam Bennett, Tom Wilson, and Matthew Knies—the three featuring a reputation for being gritty and determined in big games.
Brady Martin, however, is more than a wrecking ball on blades.
NHL Draft Prospects: Brady Martin
He excelled at the junior international level as well, with 11 points in 7 games at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup to lead Canada to gold. He has leadership skills as well: he had an 'A' for both Team Canada and for the Soo Greyhounds, showing how mature and composed he is on and off the ice.
With Matvei Michkov as their emerging offensive sensation, the Philadelphia Flyers may complement their rebuild with Martin's hard-nosed, blue-collar approach—a perfect match for a Rick Tocchet-coached squad.

BRADY MARTIN – A Nightmare to Play Against | 2025 NHL Draft Highlights & Scouting Report
The Boston Bruins invited Martin out to dinner at the combine—a possible indicator of legitimate interest. With a fairly thin prospect pool and a Bergeron-era closeout underway, Boston may need to rely on a tough-minded center like Martin to construct around him. He would immediately become their best forward prospect.
If Martin bypasses the top 10, GM Kyle Dubas, who is Soo Greyhounds-connected, might strike. The Pittsburgh Penguins require future center depth to ultimately replace Crosby and Malkin.
Martin's resilience, leadership, and ceiling render him perfect for their next era.
