Show Notes

The Stars of tomorrow are discovered here, Every Wednesday former NHL GM, Stanley Cup Champion and Director of Scouting with TSN, Craig Button and I explore prospects for the NHL Draft.  

With the 2021 draft just around the corner we focused on the likely top pick as well as two players who could be later first round picks. 

Owen Power has been a tower of power all year as the #1 prospect. The Michigan Wolverine solidified his top spot at the men's World Hockey Championship helping Canada win gold. I asked Craig about his offensive potential and more. 

Zach Dean skated with Gatineau of the QMJHL this season and looks to be trusted, safe player that will help in both ends of the ice. He might not have high end skill, but he rarely makes mistakes and will be strong down the middle. 

Shai Buium is off to Denver University in 20222 and was excellent for Sioux City in the USHL this season. A terrific decision maker who is calm under pressure, there is a lot to like about him. 

We also discussed how players who lost a year of development should be judged and evaluated heading into the draft and somehow got talking about bullring!
