June 2025 – Selected at fortieth overall, Jack Murtagh is now a member of the Philadelphia Flyers . Alex Wyatt
Final Rankings – His ceiling might not blow anyone away, but thanks to Murtagh’s tools—namely his swift release and his powerful stride—and his workmanlike approach, he should have a strong NHL career and could work his way into the first round.

March 2025 – Murtagh plays an uncomplicated game and—in an especially weak year for the NTDP—that was enough to make him a first rounder in our last ranking. Murtagh is a straight-lines puck carrier and shooter who plays with a lot of pace and intensity. With his profile, Murtagh could likely find his way into an NHL bottom six. .—Luke Sweeney
