Fantasy Summary

A bigger, skilled centre with two-way upside, Moore’s all-around engagement will have to improve to find success.


Observations

September 2026 – Boston’s 2025 second-round pick (51st overall) from the National Team Development Program (NTDP) posted 59 points (27 goals, 32 assists) in 64 games across the USHL and international schedule. The 6-3 center is heading to Boston College for 2026-27. Often on viewings he outmuscles opponents and spends time around the net at both ends. The projection is a third-line center who could handle a tougher workload at a higher level.  Andrew Epps

August 2025 – Moore is a good swing for the Bruins. Another prospect highly regarded heading into his draft year who fell down the rankings as the year went on. He had a late surge at the end of the season, but it was not enough to get him back into the first round. The Bruins are getting a player with great shooting and distributing instincts, and one with size down the middle. Moore is part of the case of larger players who sometimes take a while to fill into their frame. That case is no different for him. He has the toolkit of a strong offensive middle-six forward with potential to be a great bottom-six NHLer when all is said and done. Sean Crocker

June 2025 – Selected at fifty-first overall, William Moore is now a member of the Boston Bruins . Alex Wyatt

Final Rankings – While a weaker year in the program didn’t help Will Moore’s case, he finished strong at the U18s, leading Team USA in scoring. With improved consistency and detail, the big and skilled center could make our ranking look foolish.—Anni Karvinen

June 2025 – With some fresh linemates, Moore played some of his best hockey of the year next to Cullen Potter and Will Horcoff at the U18’s. While he didn’t look like he was dominating (or necessarily the main driver on his line) his abilities to absorb contact and make plays, both along the wall and at the netfront, looked improved. While his hands and playmaking ability remain strengths, I’m still not sold on his skating, his strength, or his athleticism. More importantly, I don’t know that he’s done enough to alleviate the concerns about his work ethic, his defensive abilities, or his physical play. With a mindset-shift and a greater focus on defence and detail, Moore could make many scouts look very foolish.—Luke Sweeney
