On this solo edition of Scouching Live, Will shares some wild personal stories and dives deep into some of the most intriguing and unusual prospects for the 2026 NHL Draft.

The episode kicks off with reactions to the Blue Jays' playoff success before turning to prospect analysis. We discuss impressive starts from Oliver Moore and Ilia Morozov, and Will gives his updated take on Matthew Schaefer, who continues to look unbelievable in the NHL.

The main event is a deep dive on the most unique prospect in years: the 7-foot-1 defenseman Alexander Kamanov. We break down the real pros and cons of his size and the draft philosophy behind such a high-risk player. Plus, Will shares two hilarious stories from his summer camp days, including a planned heist and a close call with a runaway horse.
