In this episode, our two scouts dive into American junior hockey, focusing on the USNTDP and USHL players who could contend for top-64 selections at the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. First, they break down into the complexities in Cole Eiserman's game and argue why they don't view him as a top-4 talent in the 2024 class just yet, despite his elite goalscoring ability. Next, they look at 3 USNTDP defensemen who could be selected in the 1st round, though likely only in its latter half: Cole Hutson, Will Skahan, and E.J. Emery. Last, they shift their focus to 3 full-time USHLers who have shown flashes of 1st round upside: Sacha Boisvert, Matvei Gridin, and Trevor Connelly. Tune back in tomorrow for a sneak peek at Dobber Prospects' first rankings of the 2024 Draft class! Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Another year is about to start in the NHL, and the Carolina Hurricanes are a Stanley Cup contender. The Canes didn't have the most exciting offseason. Similar to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Canes re-signed some necessary depth players and players key to the organization. Some of those depth players include Dmitry Orlov and Caleb Jones on defense. General Manager Don Waddell has always done well to make sure the Canes are a competitive defensive team. He also made a splash, landing Michael Bunting from the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent. Bunting is coming off a slight down year in points but did tie his career-high in goals with 23. This roster may not be the flashiest in the league, but this team is always competitive and plays a blue-collar game. Do the Hurricanes finally break through and return to the Cup Finals for the first time since 2006? Now the Columbus Blue Jackets are coming off a massive down year where they found themselves with the third overall pick in the NHL Entry Draft. They don't have very high expectations, but Adam Fantilli, who was taken with the third overall pick, is bringing a lot of excitement back to the Blue Jackets fanbase. Adding him to the mix with Johnny Gaudreau and Patrick Laine will definitely add excitement and creativity to this offense. The Jackets also revamped their defense from last season, bringing in Ivan Provorov from the Flyers and Damon Severson from the New Jersey Devils. Also working in the Jackets' favor is hopefully getting Jake Bean back for the season opener. The Jackets are a team that some people will have their eyes on as an improving team with the moves this offseason. Can the Blue Jackets finish the season with more than 30 wins? The Metro Division will be one of the most intriguing divisions to watch all season long. With teams like the Carolina Hurricanes, New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils leading the chase for the division title, you can't rule out teams like the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins to make a push for the playoffs as well. Now many people will rule the Philadelphia Flyers, Washington Capitals and Columbus Blue Jackets out of the race before the season starts, but should things go right, they could be dark horse teams that could compete for the second Wild Card spot. The Metro Division has been and will continue to be one of the toughest divisions in the NHL.
The LA Kings have signed Trevor Lewis to a one year contract for the 2023-24 Season. Lewis was drafted by the Kings in the first round of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft and was a member of both Stanley Cup winning teams in 2012 and 2014. Jim Fox joins Jesse Cohen and Zach Dooley to talk about the returning forward and the role he's likely to play on the Kings in 2023-24.

The New York Rangers are heading into the 2023/2024 season as one of the favorites to not only win the Metropolitan Division but to win the Eastern Conference. They had a very disappointing loss in round 1 to the New Jersey Devils in the NHL Playoffs last season. There were some changes in the franchise since the series loss. They fired head coach Gerard Gallant and hired Peter Laviolette in the summer. Some of the roster changes include the additions of Blake Wheeler, Nick Bonino and Erik Gustafsson. The Rangers also had a good draft, being able to select Gabe Perrault with the 23rd overall. Can this quick retool help the Rangers finally get back to the Stanley Cup Finals and win their first Cup since 1994? Now the team on the other side of the island, the New York Islanders, also had an underwhelming season. They finished their season 42-31-9 in the Metro Division before being booted out of the playoffs in round 1, falling to the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2 in the series. After acquiring and signing Bo Horvat to a long-term deal at the NHL Trade Deadline, the Islanders really didn't have a lot of cap space to make any major outside-the-organization signings. They were able to re-up on big-time pending unrestricted free agents Pierre Engvall, Iyla Sorokin and Semyon Varlamov to nice contracts. There are still moves that need to be made to get the Isles back under the cap ceiling. Are these deals going to be good enough to make the Islanders a legit threat in the Metro Division? This next team is definitely going to be a wild card, no pun intended. The Washington Capitals are coming off one of their worst seasons in a long time. They finished 35-37-10 and placed sixth in the Metro. Many writers and media heads are starting to think this Washington team may be getting ready to rebuild. Now the Capitals entered this summer firing the now-Rangers head coach Peter Laviolette and replaced him with Spencer Carbery. Carbery, who was a coach in the Washington farm system before, is taking over after a short stint as an assistant coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Similarly to the Islanders' roster, the Capitals are really tight to the salary cap. Washington may be closer to a rebuild for that reason, specifically. The only moves that the Caps were able to make are signing free agent Max Pacioretty, who's coming off a major Achilles injury, and signing winger Tom Wilson to a six-year extension through 2030-2031. The Capitals also had a great first two rounds of the NHL Entry Draft, selecting Ryan Leonard at pick eight and Andrew Cristall at pick 40. Even if this team is a bit older right now, the Capitals are setting to make the rebuild or retool quick and easy.
