Big defender goes ninth at draft
Mrtka was the ninth overall pick by Buffalo in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Mrtka is a future second-pairing shutdown defender who blends a bit of Colton Parayko with a touch of Tyler Myers. Mrtka skates well for a defender who's already 6-foot-6, and his transition skills are strong. He defends well. His compete is excellent. And he can walk the line, although that won't be his job in the NHL. Mrtka is going to be a strong, 12-15-year NHL defender who'll hit 40 points a couple of times and perhaps lift Lord Stanley as one of Buffalo's leaders -- that is if the team can get on track. His fantasy value will be dictated by your categories.
