Leave it to the NHL to make a good draft look awful, but the OHL shows well

from The OHL Podcast · host Mike Farwell

The NHL draft was as bad as the OHL draft was good two weeks earlier. Maybe the OHL could offer the NHL some pointers? The disaster that was the production of one of the NHL's biggest moments, it was a big draft for the OHL with a near-record 47 players selected. Farwell and Dan have a slightly different take on the numbers, but there's no denying the OHL's showing. Also this week, the NHL's signing window opens wider for CHL players, bringing it in line with the NCAA window. An email reminds us of the different paths players can take through the U18 draft, and Drew Bannister is back in the Soo. Plenty to discuss as we head into summer break, and plenty to think about over the off-season. The OHL Podcast is supported by Draft Kings Sportsbook. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
