Podcasts about nhl draft class

Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com senior draft writer and co-host of the “NHL Draft Class” podcast Mike G. Morreale to preview the upcoming NHL Draft, this Friday and Saturday in Buffalo. Morreale shares his perspective on why Toronto should take Gavin McKenna with the No. 1 pick and why San Jose's selection at No. 2 will be the most pivotal turning point of the draft. The guys open the show with reaction to Sunday's blockbuster trade between the Ottawa Senators and Florida Panthers, sending Brady Tkachuk to Florida to team up with his brother Matthew in exchange for several draft picks. The crew wraps the show with reaction to the announcement of the Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

Coming Down the Pipe... [0:00] - The intro montage for Season 21 of The Pipeline Show [1:14] - Guy begins the episode with some brief News and Notes before getting to the guest list. [13:02] - Want to know more about the goaltenders available in the NHL Draft Class of 2026? Then you came to the right place as goalie guru Danny Tiffany from Recruit Scouting shares his reports and insight on half a dozen masked men available next week in Buffalo. [38:44] - I've asked some scouts to bring me a list of 6 players that they want to talk about and Steven Ellis from Daily Faceoff nailed the assignment. We get to learn more about some lesser talked about prospects and also about a goalie available this year that Steven isn't as confident about as many scouts seem to be.

On this episode of the Blackhawks Breakaway Podcast, Pat Boyle and Charlie Roumeliotis are joined by The Athletic's NHL Draft expert Corey Pronman to preview the 2026 NHL Draft and break down the Blackhawks' options with the No. 4 overall pick. Pronman explains why several players occupied his No. 1 spot throughout the season and why he ultimately ranked defenseman Chase Reid barely ahead of consensus top prospect Gavin McKenna in his final rankings. He also discusses the five players he has in his Tier 1 rankings. If the top three forwards are off the board, should the Blackhawks feel comfortable selecting Reid despite already having two high-end right-shot defense prospects in Artyom Levshunov and Sam Rinzel? Could Reid ultimately be the best of the trio? And is McKenna truly a lock to go No. 1 overall or could there be a surprise at the top of the draft? The conversation also turns to Ivar Stenberg, who has been mocked to the Blackhawks by many analysts. How realistic is that scenario, and how does Pronman expect the top of the draft to unfold? He also shares his NHL comparable for Stenberg. Plus, if San Jose selects a defenseman at No. 2 and Vancouver is deciding between Stenberg and Caleb Malhotra at No. 3, would the Canucks really choose Malhotra, as some reports suggest? Pronman explains what fueled Malhotra's rise into the top-five conversation. Finally, Pronman weighs in on the dramatic transformation of the Blackhawks' prospect pipeline, from one of the NHL's weakest just four years ago to arguably its deepest since GM Kyle Davidson launched the rebuild in 2022. Pat and Charlie close out the episode by reacting to Pronman's insights before discussing the fallout from NHL insider Frank Seravalli's report on Connor Bedard's contract negotiations from last week's episode and explaining why Blackhawks fans shouldn't be concerned.

Dan and Shawn are joined by NHL.com's own draft guru, Mike Morreale (16:18), who is the NHL.com Senior Draft Writer and co-host of the "NHL Draft Class" podcast. Morreale answers questions about Celebrini, the projected No. 1 pick to the San Jose Sharks. He discusses what makes him special, his rehab from shoulder surgery he had five months before beginning this season as a freshman at Boston University, and why we should expect to see him in the NHL with the Sharks as soon as a few months from now. In addition, Morreale talks about the other players in the draft, reasons why he thinks defenseman Artyom Levshunov from Michigan State University should be the No. 2 pick to the Chicago Blackhawks. He also touches on forward Tij Iginla from Kelowna in the Western Hockey League potentially being the player who steals the draft if he's selected by the Calgary Flames. Prior to chatting with Morreale, Rosen and Roarke breakdown the Panthers winning the Stanley Cup, how Game 7 played out, the viewership and the impact of that 2-1 win.  They also talk about the future of the Panthers, who have 11 pending unrestricted free agents and what will come of the Edmonton Oilers now that they need a new general manager and should be trying to sign forward Leon Draisaitl to a contract extension. Following the interview with Morreale, Rosen and Roarke dive into some of the bigger names that could make it to the free-agent market Monday, including Steven Stamkos, Jake Guentzel, Jonthan Marchessault and Patrick Kane. They close with their thoughts on the Hockey Hall of Fame's Class of 2024, with some differences of opinion on if Jeremy Roenick and Shea Weber should be included in the class.

Inside today's Locked on Canadiens We're back after a few days off for the Christmas holiday! Scott has your recap from the weekend with a big Habs win over the Chicago Blackhawks before the Christmas holiday. A 5-2 scoreline hides what was a tough start from the Canadiens against a bad Chicago team. Juraj Slafkovsky, Nick Suzuki and David Savard each had a goal and assist in the win. Also of note, Cayden Primeau remains undefeated on the road this season, an impressive feat for the young goalie. Day 1 of the World Juniors tournament is also in the book, with four Habs prospects taking part in the first day of the tournament. Filip Mesar was instrumental in guiding Slovakia to a win over Czechia with a pair of primary assists. Meanwhile Owen Beck anchored Canada's best line in a hard-fought win over Finland. To round out the day, Lane Hutson and the United States survived a scare against Norway. Finally, there has been a new debate amongst Habs fans on the overall quality of the 2022 NHL Draft. With Juraj Slafkovsky starting to hit his stride, while Owen Beck, Filip Mesar and Lane Hutson dominate outside the NHL, is this Draft class better than we all thought originally? Scott looks back at the draft, and whether or not the 2022 Draft class has the ability to single-handedly change the fortunes of the Canadiens franchise. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

To round out the day, Lane Hutson and the United States survived a scare against Norway.Finally, there has been a new debate amongst Habs fans on the overall quality of the 2022 NHL Draft. With Juraj Slafkovsky starting to hit his stride, while Owen Beck, Filip Mesar and Lane Hutson dominate outside the NHL, is this Draft class better than we all thought originally? Scott looks back at the draft, and whether or not the 2022 Draft class has the ability to single-handedly change the fortunes of the Canadiens franchise.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!AG1If a comprehensive solution is what you need from your supplement routine, then try AG1 and get a FREE 1-year supply of Vitamin D AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase.

On today's episode of Locked on Wild, we react to the remaining 5 draft picks for the Wild in the 2023 NHL Draft. We discuss the size added early before Riley Heidt fell to the Wild with their third pick to add some additional skill with first round upside. We look at additional context for Charlie Stramel, and why this class may take a little longer to fully develop. We discuss the approach of having bigger centers and skill on the wings, and how Bill Guerin has approached filling weaknesses any time he has identified one. We finish by tying everything together with their approach vs bottoming out like Chicago, or Tampa Bay or Colorado in previous years to get a legit top end player.Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: Locked On WildFollow/Subscribe Anywhere: linktr.ee/LockedOnWildFollow Locked On NHL: linktr.ee/lockedonNHLSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offersAthletic Greens - To make it easy, Athletic Greens is going to give you a FREE 1 year supply of immune-supporting Vitamin D AND 5 FREE travel packs with your first purchase.

Ep 11 @betParx Presents Stick 2 Hockey LIVE with Jason Myrtetus and Special Guest, Deputy managing editor, NHL.com and Host of NHL Draft Class podcast Adam Kimelman. Full breakdown of the Flyers vs Panthers game, Carter Hart analysis, Keifer Bellows, Tortorella pushing accountability and much more.

NHL Draft Class returns for a fifth season with Dan Marr, director of NHL Central Scouting, joining Adam Kimelman and Mike G. Morreale of NHL.com to discuss the preliminary Players to Watch list for the 2023 NHL Draft. Marr covers a number of topics, including projected top pick Connor Bedard and what NHL players make the best comparables for the Regina forward. He also talks about KHL forward Matvei Michkov and the questions surrounding his ability to reach the NHL, Michigan forward Adam Fantilli, a few of the top defensemen available and more

Dan and Shawn are joined by Mike Morreale, a staff writer for NHL.com and co-host off the "NHL Draft Class" podcast, to breakdown the top of the draft, reasons why forward Shane Wright, a center with Kingston of the Ontario Hockey League, is projected to go No. 1 to the host Montreal Canadiens and why Slovakian left wing Juraj Slafkovsky of TPS in Liiga, the top professional league in Finland, could be a perfect fit for the New Jersey Devils at No. 2.  Morreale explains why he thinks forward Cutter Gauthier of the USA Hockey National Team Development Program could be a darkhorse to make it to the NHL quickly, perhaps even faster than forward Logan Cooley. The guys talked about several players who can become unrestricted free agents on July 13, including Filip Forsberg, Kris Letang and Evgeni Malkin and discussed the San Jose Sharks making history by hiring Mike Grier to be the first Black general manager in the NHL on Tuesday and the whirlwind that the 47-year-old must be in right now being at the draft one day after he was introduced by the team.
