With the 37th pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, the Washington Capitals have selected Milton Gästrin of MoDo of HockeyAllsvenskan.
The advanced habits and play-driving abilities down the middle have been a consistent factor across every level Gästrin has played. He has a positive effect in every zone, whether it’s through offering passing options for his defencemen on breakouts, transporting the puck in transition, working give-and-gos, creating space for his wingers off the rush or winning pucks and facilitating others.
