First, Max and Corey break down Corey’s NHL Draft Confidential piece in which he talks to various NHL personnel about the top names in 2022 NHL Draft, including Shane Wright, Matthew Savoie, Connor Geekie, Brad Lambert, and more, as well as discuss Corey’s attribute grades for this year’s draft class.
Then, Daily Faceoff’s Chris Peters joins the show and he and Corey debate a few of the prospects they’ve ranked differently on their boards, including Logan Cooley at the top of Chris’ list, Frank Nazar, Lian Bichsel, and Nathan Gaucher.
Plus, to close things out, the guys open up the mailbag and listener questions about comparing Frank Nazar and Dylan Larkin in his draft year, if Nathan MacKinnon’s somewhat disappointing draft year is comparable to Shane Wright’s, how much the COVID-19-cancelled OHL season can impact prospects’ development curve, what pick in this year’s draft Corey would trade for Kaapo Kakko right now, Memorial Cup power rankings, prospects with first-round upside likely to be available in the second round, concerns about prospects pursuing college hockey on their path to the NHL, and where would the guys go if they could take an all-expenses paid trip anywhere in the world.
