2025 NHL Draft

Future Vision: Jakob Ihs-Wozniak has all the makings of a top prospect in 2025 NHL Draft

Jakob Ihs-Wozniak certainly has the makeup of a top prospect.

The 6-foot-3 forward put together one of the most productive draft-minus-one seasons at the J20 level in a long time.

His 1.39 points-per-game average over the span of 36 games is the highest mark among all U17 skaters over the past 10 years. This means he's outproducing what former top-10 picks in Lucas Raymond, Alexander Holtz and Dalibor Dvorský were able to accomplish at the same age.

While Ihs-Wozniak's international résumé isn't quite as staggering, he was a top-six fit for Sweden's U18 team as an under-ager at certain events. At February's Five Nations tournament, he formed a productive line with Anton Frondell and Victor Eklund, scoring a hat-trick in one of the games. At the U18s, though, his role was significantly diminished.

Still, Ihs-Wozniak enters the draft year as one of the most intriguing prospects from Europe and could see significant time in the SHL.
