On this episode of the DraftCast, Tony is joined by DobberProspects' scout Dylan Griffing who focuses on the Russians. They talk about some of the best Russian prospects for the 2021 NHL draft including Nikita Chibrikov, Daniil Chayka, Fyodor Svechkov, and more! Dylan always talks about some deeper sleepers and confuses Tony with a guy he's never seen! The MHL talk is exciting as the hockey! 

After that, Tony is joined by Brandt Clarke, one of the top prospects for the 2021 NHL Draft. Clarke talks about his choice to go play in Slovakia with HC Nove Zamky and how the transition has gone to this point. They also discuss what it's like playing against men as a teenager, what it's like getting under his opponent's skin, how the adjustments aren't just for him and so much more.

Be sure to catch the full interview with video review in the latest Game Tape with Tony! They go over his first goal, how his defensive game has grown and what it's like to be cross-checked in the back by a grown man.

On this episode of the DraftCast, Tony is joined by Will from Scouching.ca to go through a thought experiment. With the NHL looking to possibly move the NHL Draft due to the feeling that they won't get a good read based on the lack of consistently play across all leagues and level in the sport, how could they innovate? 

Tony and Will propose a tournament with four teams assembled from the NHL Central Scouting lists, with a focus on the players who haven't played. They discuss the in's and out's of what could be a moneymaker for the NHL. From how the teams get assembled to why the event could become an annual thing, they break it down from a number of angles. 

They also touch on the topic of the NHL's strategy to grow the game, develop new ideas, and why sometimes they remain stubborn despite constant innovation from leagues such as the NFL and NBA. Join us for this wide-ranging, open-ended discussion!
