First, Max and Corey recap the 2021 IIHF World Championship where consensus number one pick Owen Power solidified his ranking playing big minutes for Team Canada en route to a gold medal, give their thoughts on the play of other tournament prospects Danila Klimovich, Alexei Kolosov, and Matthew Beniers, and discuss the potential draft status of players participating in the Erie OHL Showcase over the last couple of weeks.
Then, the guys break down the pool of center prospects set to be selected in this year’s NHL Draft including Matthew Beniers, Mason McTavish, Kent Johnson, Chaz Lucius, Aatu Räty, Francesco Pinelli, and more.
Plus, to close things out, the guys answer listener questions about how the mid-to-late 2021 first-rounders compare to previous years, what makes Fabian Lysell such a polarizing prospect, how much Corey’s day-to-day work would change if he went to work for an NHL team, and many more.
