Show Notes

The Stars of tomorrow are discovered here, 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.

In our final show before the NHL Draft we jammed in 6 mini Top Shelf Talent segment. We discussed Lucas Raymond who Craig called a sneaky goal scorer and is known more for his playmaking abilities. Hendrix Lapierre might have been a top 5 pick if not for injuries and will be a player to watch during the first round as he could go high or slip to a contender. Connor Zary and Seth Jarvis are both Western Hockey League goal scoring forwards who are both vying to be the top WHL player selected while William Wallinder is a big, smooth skating blueliner from Sweden and Dylan Holloway has speed, size and strength, a pretty good combo for a centre.

Full episode comes out Thursday!
