Vaclav Nestrasil

June 2025 – Selected at twenty-fifth overall, Vaclav Nestrasil is now a member of the Chicago Blackhawks.  Alex Wyatt

Final Rankings – Nestrasil took major leaps throughout the regular season, constantly improving his consistency from start to end. The 6-5 winger has a high compete level and has been able to effectively use his size and motor to take over at both ends of the ice. A raw prospect who may need a few years to hit his potential.—Austin Kelly

June 2025—A huge and disruptive winger, Nestrasil has earned plenty of attention. If you told me in October that the Muskegon Lumberjacks were primed to have an all-around beast potentially going in the first round, I’d have thought you were talking about Ivan Ryabkin. As of now, Nestrasil has almost certainly usurped that spot, establishing himself as one of the top names out of the USA. He gets around well in his 6-5 frame, plays with a mean streak, factors in on the PP and PK, and has some sneaky puck skill as well. It would not be a shock to hear his name called on Day One.—Luke Sweeney
