First, Max and Corey recap all-things NHL Draft and discuss the biggest surprises, including Tyler Boucher going to the Ottawa Senators at No. 10, the Columbus Blue Jackets taking Kent Johnson and Cole Sillinger with their dual first round picks, the Detroit Red Wings and the Minnesota Wild trading up to take goalies Sebastian Cossa and Jesper Wallstedt respectively, the Montreal Canadiens selecting Logan Mailloux with the final pick of the first round, and more.

Then, the guys give their analysis on Team USA’s 2021 World Junior Summer Showcase, which also includes teams from Finland and Sweden, currently underway in Plymouth, Michigan, and discuss the standout play so far of Aatu Räty, Thomas Bordeleau, Jake Sanderson, and others.

Plus, early thoughts on 2022 NHL Draft eligible players including Shane Wright, Ivan Miroshnichenko, Danila Yurov, Logan Cooley, and Brad Lambert, as well as listener questions about realistic NHL timelines for Sebastian Cossa and Jesper Wallstedt, if the New Jersey Devils have amassed enough talent to be contenders within four years, the point of Central Scouting, and more.
