I asked Craig how many players he thinks have a realistic chance at going first overall in 2021 and who they are as we discussed the players in question. The three forwards we discussed from three different countries all have a unique skill set. Dylan Duke can flat out score. James Malatesta projects to be a smart winger, while Dmitri Zugan won't be a first round pick, but is tracking to be a valuable asset to a playoff team down the road. 

We also chatted about the trade deadline from a team evaluation of it's own prospects to how Covid 19 and quarantines might impact this year's trade deadline.
