#TrackingTheDraft with @CraigJButton

The Stars of tomorrow are discovered here, Every Wednesday former NHL GM, Stanley Cup Champion and Director of Scouting with TSN, Craig Button and I explore prospects for the NHL Draft. From Top Shelf Talent to The Next Wave to Time Machine and more.

While we make our way through the current hockey season or off season for some we are giving you glimpses of what you can expect for the 2021 draft and beyond. This week we started off discussing the Coyotes renouncing the selection of Mitchell Miller following a massive amount of public pressure regarding the disgusting acts of bullying that continued past the act Miller was charged for. The Ontario Government's announcement of no body contact for the OHL season seemed awfully premature over the weekend, and it was. We also chatted about the situation some Junior A teams are facing as CHL players are looking for a team to suit up with until their leagues start. 

The five players we took a look at ranged from defenceman of Canadian and Russian heritage, a scoring Swede and Canadian and an all around American centre that simply fits anywhere in the line up.

In our final show before the NHL Draft we jammed in 6 mini Top Shelf Talent segment. We discussed Lucas Raymond who Craig called a sneaky goal scorer and is known more for his playmaking abilities. Hendrix Lapierre might have been a top 5 pick if not for injuries and will be a player to watch during the first round as he could go high or slip to a contender. Connor Zary and Seth Jarvis are both Western Hockey League goal scoring forwards who are both vying to be the top WHL player selected while William Wallinder is a big, smooth skating blueliner from Sweden and Dylan Holloway has speed, size and strength, a pretty good combo for a centre.

Full episode comes out Thursday!
