Brady Martin – 2025 NHL Draft Prospect Profile

Defensively, Martin’s energy is felt as well. He is relentless on the backcheck and is strong when playing his position in his end of the ice. His opponents feel his physicality as he is not afraid to throw his weight around when given the chance. As an all-around force on the ice, he has been increasingly talked about as the season progresses.

Brady Martin – NHL Draft Projection

Being a player who can bring energy and production from any spot in the lineup, Martin will certainly be a player an NHL organization would love to have in their system. He should be a mid-to-late first-round pick at the worst at the end of June.

Quotables

“Martin is a dynamic, two-way centre who rises to the occasion and has a significant impact on the outcome of games. His greatest attribute is perhaps his compete level and willingness to engage in battles. He is definitely what I would describe as a gamer and often comes away with the puck during possession battles. His compete level, coupled with his all-around attributes, really makes him stand out.”- Mike Kennedy, Future Considerations

“He’s a talented forward that can do a lot for a team, but he didn’t get to prove himself in the OHL last year due to an injury. I expect a big year from him with the Greyhounds if he keeps moving and attacking the play like he does. Even if he doesn’t make it to the NHL as a point producer, he’s got the mobility and tenacity you want from someone who makes themselves difficult to play against.”- Steven Ellis, Daily Faceoff

“Few players go hard in the paint like Brady Martin. His competitiveness, intensity, and confidence pop off the screen with every shift. Nobody will question his effort, especially not with how physically he plays…. He’s a force in transition due to his raw strength, and he brings soft hands to go along with it. It’s not uncommon to see Martin challenge a defender in the middle of the ice, just for Martin to immediately make a move into space to leverage his powerful shot.”- David Saad, Dobber Prospects

NHL Potential

With the way Martin plays and handles himself on the ice, there is a strong chance that with further development, he can become a middle-six forward in an NHL lineup and bring some secondary offense. His defensive game should translate well and he can become a penalty killer.
