Vegas Golden Knights potential draft picks in the 2025 NHL Draft

Round Four, Pick 122

Vincent Desjardins
Desjardins is a 5'11" right-shooting center, who has committed to the University of Nebraska-Omaha for the 2025-26 season. He spent the 2024-25 season in the QMJHL playing for the Blainville-Boisbrand, scoring 81 points (18G, 63A) over 64 games, putting him in the Top 10 scoring leaders for the QMJHL last season. Desjardins is an energetic player with a keen sense of the details within the game.

He is able to see threats on the ice while snagging the puck from opposing attackers and supporting his own teammates. He has a strong, well-timed backcheck with strong, well-timed passes. He is an average-sized player, though, so unless he is able to improve his overall skill, he may not reach the NHL.

However, that won't keep him from being a strong professional player. If he continues to hone his skills, it's possible he could make it there later in his career.

Matej Mastalirsky
Mastalirsky is a 6'1" left-shooting winger who played for quite a few teams in the 2024-25 season. He started the season with the HC Litvínov, where he appeared in 32 games with just two assists. He was loaned to the Piráti Chomutov for five playoff games, where he also assisted on two goals. He participated in the 2025 World Junior Championships for Team Czechia, scoring three goals and three assists over seven games.

In addition to those teams, he played in 19 games for the U20 Team Czechia with 14 goals and eight assists. Mastalirsky has a high hockey IQ and can be a creative player. However, he lacks the quick hands needed to get the puck away from the opposition. He is a physical player and helps his own out by assisting in puck battles on the boards.

Round Five, Pick 154

Daniil Skvortsov
Skvortsov is a 6'4" left-shooting defenseman for the Guelph Storm. He played in 59 games, tallying 18 points with five goals and 13 assists. Opposing players have to be deceptive in hopes of getting past Skvortsov because of the fact that he's a big-bodied, agile defender.

He has a good reach, NHL caliber mobility, and does possess some offensive abilities, though that isn't something the team that drafts him should bank on. His skills need to be rounded out and fine-tuned, but he could have a solid chance at making an NHL roster down the road.

Round Six, Picks 186 and 187

Pick 186

Olivier Groulx
Groulx is a 6'1" left-wing who plays for the St. John Sea Dogs. During the 2024-25 season, he played in 64 games, scoring 17 goals and 24 assists. Groulx excels in smaller areas despite his large frame, he uses that to get around opposing players and take possession of the puck. He plays a defensive game, utilizing forechecks to make space for himself. He has good vision on the ice and, with training and honing his skill, could be utilized as a depth checker in the NHL.

Pick 187

Hayden Harsanyi
Harsanyi is a 5'10" left-shooting forward who played seven games with the Medicine Hat Tigers, scoring one goal and three assists before being traded to the Saskatoon Blades, where he then played in 30 games with 11 goals and nine assists. He is an offensively strong 5-on-5 player on Medicine Hat's already talented team.

He scans the ice ahead of each pass and touch of the puck to ensure he has an open shot, whether that's toward the net or to a teammate. He can be a bit clumsy on the ice, but that is something that getting more time on ice can fix as time goes on. He could also use some work defensively, but overall, his future in professional hockey looks bright.
