Craig Button and I explore prospects for the NHL Draft. From Top Shelf Talent to The Next Wave to Time Machine and more.
The month long camp that Canada is holding for the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championship has been disrupted by Covid 19. Craig was attending all week and gave us the latest (though things change quickly) and what might happen in the future with the team and the tournament. We chatted about the goaltending spots and what skaters who need to stand out have.
In our three mini profiles we looked a sniper in Brennan Othmann who has duel citizenship in Canada and Switzerland. A tenacious forward in James Malatesta who scored 20 plus goals as a rookie in the QMJHL. A skilled Swede who gets knocked for his defensive play and has Craig pulling his hair out.
