Season 2 Episode 8 - Covid19 and the WJHC, Leafs & Jets at the tournament & Olausson, Korczak, Behrens mini profiles

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.

 
As the World Junior Hockey Championship draws closer players and coaches from different countries have been ruled out. We discussed how things will work when teams start arriving later this week to prepare for the bubble. We also looked at the tournament through the eyes of Maple Leaf and Jets fans, both teams have some serious talent and may be torn during a couple of games of who to cheer for. 

As for the three mini profiles, we looked at a big Swedish forward who you might see in the tournament. Oskar Olausson tore up the J20 league in Sweden to start the season and was quickly promoted to the SHL. Ryder Korczak just missed the 2020 draft and it gives him another year to impress scouts, which he did last year on a really bad Moose Jaw team. Sean Behrens is going to be that player that teams regret passing on because of his size. The American defenceman simply controls the game and is the type of player that allows coaches to sleep at night.
