#TrackingTheDraft with @CraigJButton

Every Thursday former NHL GM, Stanley Cup Champion and Director of Scouting with TSN, Craig Button and I explore prospects for the NHL Draft. From Top Shelf Talent to The Next Wave to Time Machine and more, the stars of tomorrow are discovered here.

Show Notes

In Top Shelf Talent on Tracking the Draft, former NHL GM and current Director of Scouting for TSN, Craig Button and Dean Millard discuss players who are projected to go in the first round, choosing from the Top 40 on the Craig's List.

It's hard to nail down exactly what Jamie Drysdale does best because the Erie defenceman does everything so well. He's one of the best skaters in the draft, he's dangerous with and without the puck and if you forget about him in the offensive zone you can expect to be fishing the puck out of your net. He has top pairing #1 dman potential, so that means he has to produce offensively and Craig explains how he will do that using a Hall of Fame former Dallas Star as a reference.
