First, TSN’s Director of Scouting, the great Craig Button joins the show to discuss the 2021 NHL Draft prospect pool, how important it is to listen to dissenting voices when it comes to scouting, how his current day evaluations differ from years past, how welcoming differences of opinion adds value to an organization, and much more.

Then, Craig and Corey talk about some of the differences in their prospect rankings and discuss the top defensive players like Owen Power, Brandt Clarke, Simon Edvinsson, and Luke Hughes, as well as forwards Fedor Svechkov, Zach L’Heureux, and more.

To close things out, the guys break down Corey’s first mock draft of the year and talk about the potential floor for top goalie prospects Jesper Wallstedt and Sebastian Cossa, how a Jack Eichel trade could impact the top of the draft, if Mason McTavish is a top six pick or not, and more.
