The Hockey Writers' prospects experts Matthew Zator, Peter Baracchini and Devin Little get together to react to the results of the Hlinka Gretzky tournament so far, players that have stood out and to give their predictions for who will win it all. They then dive into a preview for the upcoming rescheduled 2022 World Juniors where they talk about players to watch, and whether the missing star prospects will affect the countries involved. Finally, they finish the show with some predictions for gold, silver and bronze and the major awards.
