Want to know the names NHL teams will be coveting from college rosters in a few weeks once seasons start to end? In the last eight seasons an average of 24 undrafted free agents have been signed from the NCAA ranks, so College Hockey Today co-hosts Nate Ewell (@nateewell, @collegehockey) and Brad Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) decided to speculate on the two dozen current NCAAers who could sign deals this year. These players haven't been drafted - so naturally they picked them draft-style, with each co-host naming 12. After that they've got a look at six of the most compelling games/series this weekend.

Arizona State and its NCAA Tournament chances are the talk of the college hockey world, so co-hosts Nate Ewell (@nateewell, @collegehockey) and Brad Schlossman (@SchlossmanGF) decided to bring in a rare guest this week in Sun Devil head coach Greg Powers.

If Arizona State is the country's most improved team (with apologies to UMass), the guys then turn their attention to the most improved players, with a few of the biggest names mentioned before looking at the weekend ahead.
