What were our reactions to the Day 2 picks of the NHL Draft? From heavy hitters to upside swings, numerous teams came out with value. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

What whispers were heard on the draft floor and what's to come from Columbus with both Werenski and Marchenko forcing their ways out? Kareem discusses his experience at the draft in Buffalo, including some tidbits of information from scouts and executives. Next, we discuss big fish on the trade board, as Jason Robertson was nearly dealt on top of the CBJ duo. Finally, we peek at the free agent market on the eve of July 1, spotting some interesting options of all ages. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Beyond simply owning the first and second picks respectively, Toronto and San Jose made the very most of each of their picks. We break down the Leafs' excellent haul of mobile two-way defencemen with puck-moving upside. The Sharks for their part, overhauled their RD depth with Keaton Verhoeff and Ryan Lin in the first round. Finally, we present some of the steals of the draft and our favourite swings on talent.

What were our reactions to the top 10 picks of the NHL Draft? From Stenberg at 2 to Daxon Rudolph raising eyebrows at 4, the excitement was constant! How did you find the top 10?

With the 2026 NHL Draft just one day away, we zero in on the San Jose Sharks to discuss their options with the 2nd and newly-acquired 9th overall selections. The debate between Ivar Stenberg and Chase Reid at #2 has raged for weeks now, and the Eklund trade certainly tips the balance in the winger's favour, but don't underestimate the potential to add two pieces like Reid and Ethan Belchetz at those selections. Who would you target? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

In perhaps the single most insane day for transactions in the past decade (or more) we saw young elite talents shipped all over the place and multiple Top 10 picks dealt. From hockey trades like Kyrou for McMichael & 16th to jaw-dropping overpays like Bowen Byram fetching 4th overall + this was a day for the ages in the NHL. How would you grade the trades and which shocked you the most? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Following up the first 26 picks of our Final Mock Draft which aged poorly due to trades, we look at picks 27 through 50 as the value continues into the second round. From the Ruck twins landing in Vancouver to some swings on big boys littering the second round, there's a lot of potential for fun storylines. Let us know what you'd do differently!

In an unfortunate series of events, our final mock of the year is tarnished by one of the craziest days of trades in NHL history, seeing multiple top 10 picks change hands. We break down the, slightly aged, top 26 picks in this show, ranging from the likes of Caleb Malhotra going to Chicago with a pick they no longer own to a big run on potential 3C's in the 10-20 range. We hope you still enjoy the show despite the degree of movements rendering certain discussions obsolete and would love to hear your thoughts on who the teams with newly acquired selections should target!

Brady Tkachuk has been traded to the Florida Panthers to team up with his brother, Matthew, while the Senators get a boatload of flexible assets in return. While the lack of a roster player coming back the other way stings, expect Ottawa to make moves for immediate help with at least one of the three acquired first-round selections. Picks 9 and 25 this year, alongside a 2029 1st and a 2030 second is not a bad return whatsoever, particularly for a player who designated a 4-team trade list of your usual suspects. How would you grade the trade? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

With the 2026 NHL Draft moving ever closer and the 17th overall selection on the horizon, the coming 10 days will prove fascinating for the LA Kings' future. An organization with a typical preference for drafting hard-nosed players who won't back down to the physical challenges of competing in the Western Conference may have to put those desires aside to swing hard on upside in a range of the draft that may very well feature a falling high-skill piece from the top 12. We also discuss how players like Byfield and Turcotte have or haven't developed, and what we can learn from those selections.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The blueline class in the 2026 NHL Draft is hyped up for a reason, with potential top pair pieces available, like Carels, Reid, and Verhoeff. As we begin to unveil our final rankings this week, we present our top 10 defencemen, all of whom are clear 1st round talents in our eyes. From the shifty undersized dynamos Xavier Villeneuve and Tommy Bleyl to the hulking Maksim Sokolovskii and Malte Gustafsson, the variety of profiles available is impressive. What would your rankings look like? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The 2026 NHL Draft is notoriously open even amongst the class's top talents, with a dozen names with at least a chance of hearing their names selected inside the top 5. While we get the sense that McKenna is the guy for Toronto at 1, it's wide open after that, and we expect a surprise fall from somebody, whether it be the high-flying Ivar Stenberg outside the top 3 or one of the hyped defencemen slipping outside the top 5 entirely, while late risers like Wyatt Cullen could raise eyebrows early. What's your prediction? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

If you're looking for a swing on high-end details, dual-threat skill, and clear top-six upside, Nikita Klepov could be a steal of a pick in the back half of the first round. From an impressive power play toolkit to defensive details mature beyond his years, few players outside the top 10 possess his blend of NHL upside and floor. He's a high-likelihood NHLer and could eventually hit a Nikolaj Ehlers-type scoring upside. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

With the 2026 NHL Draft moving ever closer and the 6th overall selection on the horizon, the coming weeks will prove vital for the Calgary Flames' future. With 7 selections among the first 70 picks, calling the Flames loaded for draft capital would be an understatement. Alongside Locked On Flames host Ryan G., we break down the best options at sixth overall -- highlighted by Viggo Björck and Carson Carels -- as well as some high-upside swings that could be enticing in the 25-55 range on draft day. We wrap up the show by digging into the Flames' current roster construction, exciting young pieces, and the dire need for special talents to enter the fold. Who would you target for Calgary?   Note: Cole Reschny is the one forward prospect with real upside I didn't get around to mentioning in the third segment, but his top-six upside is comparable to Gridin's, though he leans more heavily toward a playmaking projection.

If you're looking for a swing on high-end checking ability, a heavy shot, and clear top-six upside, Adam Novotny is a gem in the 10-20 range on draft day. From impressive stick details to blistering speed and overwhelming physicality, he embodies a bunch of the elements that teams are desperate to add leading up to the NHL Playoffs. He's a high-likelihood NHLer and could eventually hit an Adrien Kempe-type scoring upside. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The final Elite Prospects rankings for the 2026 Draft have dropped and we discuss various risers & fallers throughout the top 32. While the top 5 doesn't diverge much from consensus, the 6 to 15 range sees some big swings, including Wyatt Cullen at 6. We focus mostly on the top-32, but you're welcome to check out the full list at Elite Prospects. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

If you're looking for a home run swing outside the top fifteen on elite mobility and plenty of puck-moving and power play upside, Tommy Bleyl is right up your alley. One of the biggest risers of the season gets fans out of their seats every single night and while he will need to bulk up physically to hang at the pro level, a couple seasons in college with Michigan State should go a long way. Would you like your favourite team to take this swing? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

After putting together a mock draft based on needs the other week, we return with the inverse, running with hot takes and unhinged swings. From the Leafs going Ivar Stenberg to McKenna falling to Chicago and Caleb Malhotra joining his dad in Vancouver, this mock has a whole lot of potentially interesting storylines. Unlike other mocks where we aim to predict as many picks as possible, this time around, we focused more on trying to hit the few surprise risers and fallers. Let us know your thoughts! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

If you're looking for a home run swing outside the top five on elite skill at forward, Wyatt Cullen may be the most exciting option. The winger is one of the youngest players in the draft class, drove the offense with dominant creativity with the NTDP and an 8-inch growth spurt in the past two years gives him plenty of physical runway. Not dissimilar to Beckett Sennecke in 2024, Cullen is the draft's biggest second-half riser built on a growing frame and elite talent with the puck. Could he go top 7?

While the Montreal Canadiens bowed out in the Conference Finals, the rebuild is officially over and they're only a few key pieces away from true contention. We break down their playoff performances, ask what the front office will have learned through this playoff run, and list potential targets to fill the crucial second line centre vacancy and build out the lineup to get heavier and more possession-oriented. Which of Robert Thomas, Nico Hischier, Elias Pettersson, and Mason McTavish do you think fits best? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In our May Rankings, we've got some big tiers with lots of potential for rises and falls on draft day, and believe that Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stenberg, and Carson Carels have separated themselves as the top 3 talents in the class. From Viggo Björck at 6 to Wyatt Cullen at 10 and the Ruck twins at 11 and 17 respectively, we take some bullish swings on upside and trajectory. Let us know what you think!

After a grinding Stanley Cup Playoffs, teams will fall in love with Oliver Suvanto, the hulking two-way centre who may be the draft's second most NHL-ready player. While not the flashiest on-puck forward, Suvanto drives the middle, dominates the net-front, and offers support in transition and the defensive zone mature beyond his years. In a class lacking quantity in first-round centremen, don't be shocked if he cracks the top 12 on draft day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In a bit of a delayed upload, we break down NHL central scouting's final rankings for the 2026 draft class, featuring some hot takes and a lot of big boys. From the top 10 in both Europe and North America to some depth gems, we try to present a variety of interesting cases from the rankings on this show. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

While not as flashy as the top tier of defencemen in the 2026 NHL Draft, Ryan Lin's high degree of intelligence, mobility, and defensive physicality could make him a slam-dunk pick in the teens. He's more of a facilitator than a creator and we'd love to see his pass selection and vision in the breakout improve in the coming years, but there's a real foundation for a Ryan Spurgeon-esque impact someday. Despite his stature, Lin's defensive impact and physicality are clearly among the most refined in the class. WOuld you like your team to swing on him? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In the back half of the campaign, no blueliner raised their draft stock more than Daxon Rudolph did, as he scored plenty of goals and brought tremendous offensive activity to the table. The mobile puck-mover has a booming shot, proactive playmaking insticts, and the ability to kill plays defensively when he's on his game. While defensive consistency and physical engagement remain works in progress, the upside here is sky high. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The two leading scorers in the WHL this season were twins Liam and Markus Ruck, whose blend of synergy and complementary differences proved unstoppable at points. The two average-sized forwards bring relentless energy, mature defensive habits, and some pretty special offensive skillsets, with Markus adopting the playmaking workload while Liam is the natural finisher between the two. They individually are prospects with top-six level upside, but together, they're near telekinetic and should be targeted as a pair to reach their respective upsides. How high could they go?

The NHL is increasingly becoming a young man's league, and were spoilt for choice in constructing a full 26-man roster comprised of the top-performing U23 players league-wide. From ridiculous talent up front to emerging young netminders and a generational defenceman, this group could go far in the playoffs as a unit despite severely lacking experience. Who would make your team of the season? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Ivar Stenberg's season has been nothing short of phenomenal, with a standout impact in the SHL, World Juniors, and World Championships. With a high-end motor, well-rounded offensive tools, and a level of pace and defensive competence that could gain any coach's trust. While he has the highest floor in the draft class, any chance of him going #1 rests on his high-end offensive potential. How would you react if he went first?

If your team is on the lookout for a potential top-four defenceman in the 2026 NHL Draft, there are a few great options, and Alberts Šmits is among the most electrifying. Joined by Sammy Tirpak from Pro Hockey Group, we dive into the details of his game. With excellent mobility, a rangy frame, and aggressive offensive activations, he possesses many tools necessary to play a top-four puck-moving role in the NHL, but just how far will his decision-making and defensive reads take him?. Where should he go on draft day? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

With Ivan Demidov and Beckett Sennecke lighting up the NHL playoffs at 20 years old, we dig back into the 2024 NHL Draft Class and re-order the top 32 prospects to come out of that crop. No surprises as Celebrini comfortably retains his spot at No. 1 and Cayden Lindstrom falls outside the top 15, but who else surprises as big-time risers and fallers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

In a slightly unorthodox mock draft, we present a couple player options for each team picking top-16, highlighting team needs and fits. Ivar Stenberg could go as high as 1 and as low as 4, while the defencemen in the top-10 could be selected in almost any order. Let us know your picks! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

If your team is on the lookout for a potential top-six centre in the 2026 NHL Draft, there are only a few great options, and Viggo Björck's resume is beyond impressive enough to have earned top-10 consideration. With high-end intelligence, intensity, and leverage mechanics, he ended the season as the first-line centre of Djurgårdens in the SHL, defying the expectations of many. While undersized, he possesses an extensive toolkit to make it work in the NHL in all three zones.

The Toronto Maple Leafs won the golden ticket of the first selection in the upcoming draft. While Gavin McKenna is the favourite to hear his name called at #1, we make the case for four other players -- Chase Reid, Carson Carels, Ivar Stenberg, and Caleb Malhotra -- who could be enticing for various reasons. That said, we view McKenna as the likely and correct selection by the Leafs, but the conversations behind closed doors surrounding this pick will be extensive.   Go follow Anthony (Prospect Don): https://x.com/TheProspectDon   Check out the Everydayer Club to support us and listen ad-free! https://lockedonnhlprospects.supercast.com/     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

To little surprise, Matthew Schaefer won the Calder trophy in a landslide, securing each and every one of the 198 votes for 1st place, but Demidov, Sennecke, and Dobeš round out a particularly strong top-end in the Calder race.

If your team is on the lookout for a potential number 1 defenseman in the 2026 NHL Draft, there are a couple great options, and Keaton Verhoeff was the runaway leader among blueliners coming into the season. With high-end aggression, a Shea Weber-esque bomb from the point, and some real promising playmaking flashes, Verhoeff is a beast when he's on his game. Inconsistent on-puck decision-making, breakout breakdowns, and a huge leap in quality of competition led to some steeper lows this season, however. Still, he's one of a handful of defencemen in the 2026 class who possess top-pairing upside.

With a draft lottery full of surprises, with the Leafs nabbing the coveted #1 pick and the San Jose Sharks being gifted yet another crack at a star piece at #2, the top 10 order has opened up hugely, with possibilities of trades, reaches, and falls aplenty. We run through the full (currently-seeded) top 32, matching drafting philosophy to team needs and trends wherever possible. The #2 pick will play a huge role in how this class develops, whether it be a plunder on blueliners, the reaching on centres, or the doubling-down on potentially game-breaking wingers.

The draft lottery was full of surprises, and our resident Leafs fan, Kareem, is over the moon. It means the world to that fanbase, and we talk through why it's a great fit for both Gavin McKenna and the Leafs (if he indeed is the pick) and what elements of his game Leafs fans should keep in mind are weaknesses. For the San Jose Sharks, this is a gift the organization din't need, but is extra jet fuel as they rocket skywards with arguably the deepest U22 talent pool in the league when July 1 arrives. For teams like Vancouver, Chicago, the Rangers, and Calgary, the lottery loss stings but shouldn't be detrimental to their building of successful franchises, as the talent crop in the 2026 class is tighter at the top-end than in most draft, the gap between 2 and 6 isn't all that wide and there's even still room for debate at 1.   Check out the Everydayer Club to support us and listen ad-free! https://lockedonnhlprospects.supercast.com/     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

Despite putting up a dominant season playing up in age groups with the Toronto Junior Canadiens, Hockey Canada surprisingly blocked his bid for exceptional status. Kareem, who has watched this young player all season, breaks down exactly why he's such a special player and what might come next in his promising career, while asking the question "Did Hockey Canada mess up?"       Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

If your team is on the lookout for a potential number 1 defenseman in the 2026 NHL Draft, there are a couple great options, and Carson Carels may well be the best of them. With high-end mobility, projectable physicality, elite defensive impact, and blossoming offensive dynamism, there's not much to nitpick in his game. In the last month of his season, he truly hit new heights in the offensive zone, separating himself as his team's best player.

Though the playoff picture is still unfolding and the lottery has yet to occur, we ran a simulation on DraftProsHockey and put together a full top-32 mock draft with the help of Anthony Donati, the Prospect Don. With the Canucks and Leafs winning the top two picks in the lottery, the draft doesn't entirely unfold as fans may expect, with Carson Carels climbing to 2nd overall.   Play around with the free mock draft tool yourself! https://draftprospectshockey.com/simulator     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

In this special crossover episode with Trevor Beggs from Locked On Canucks, we discuss the top draft targets for the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the 2026 NHL Draft. At the top end, we break down how Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stenberg, Carson Carels, Caleb Malhotra, and Keaton Verhoeff would fit in in the Rockies. We then shift our gaze to the draft picks in the 20-40 range, where a variety of high-upside talents should be on the board, highlighted by the Ruck twins, Liam and Markus.   Check out Locked On Canucks! https://www.youtube.com/@LockedOnCanucks     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

In perhaps the season with the most concentrated talent we've ever seen in college hockey, the focus has been on top-draft picks and draft-eligibles but older undrafted players left their mark on the campaign, too. Some, like TJ Hughes, Tyson Gross, and Vinny Borgesi have already earned ELCs, while there remain some potentially high-value swings on the table, highlighted by Hank Cleaves.   For an in-depth breakdown of the top 40 college free agents, check out the full free agency guide at Elite Prospects: https://www.eliteprospects.com/news/nhl-prospects/the-elite-prospects-2026-ncaa-free-agency-guide       Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

If your team is on the lookout for a modern puck-moving RD, Chase Reid should be at the top of the list. He's on an unusual development curve, going from being cut from a USHL roster and forced to play NAHL hockey just over a year ago to a consensus top-five prospect in the 2026 draft. Armed with wonderful skating, a strong goalscoring toolkit, and a high-intellect, this 6-foot-2 defenceman has the chops to become an all-situations minute-muncher.       Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

Just how special has Matthew Schaefer's rookie season been, truly? We take a look at some chart-breaking analytics, his record-setting scoring, and ask ourselves if he goes toe-to-toe with the greatest rookie performances in the 2000s. From top-five mobility in the NHL already to a maturity beyond his years both on and off the ice, Schaefer has been making waves this season and we'd argue, he deserves even more hype than he's gotten.     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.

If your team is on the lookout for a heavy, mean, deftly skilled, and heavy shooting power forward in the draft, Oscar Hemming is the premier option in the Top 15 range. Despite missing over half a year to off-ice disputes over his eligibility to play outside Finland, he didn't miss a beat when he hit the ice with Boston College in December. With a blend of a high floor and tantalizing upside with some streaks of Juraj Slafkovsky in his game, Hemming is a guy to keep an eye on.   Thank so much to Whittaker Heart for joining, check out his work at Elite Prospects here: https://www.eliteprospects.com/news/author/whittaker-heart     Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…   🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube   Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More   🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL   📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter     Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects   Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian   Kareem Ramadan https://x.com/HockeyTakes15     📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods     📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers     #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects   Everydayer Club   Join the Everydayer Club for ad-free audio, access to our group chat on Discord, and more.
