23-06-2021 • 46 minutos

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.

Luke Hughes is part of a log jam of defencemen near the top of the draft. A great skater with confidence, but what will his offensive production be like? He's heading to Michigan next year so his development curve is on track. Brennan Othmann has a great shot, hockey IQ and uses his size to protect the puck well, but some question his skating. Does Craig? What was a season spent in the Swiss League like for the one time Flint Firebird of the OHL? Fabian Lysell has a ton of speed and only needs an inch of space to blow past defenders and create a scoring chance. He played most of the year in the SHL and while he didn't produce points, he did earn valuable experience.

We also discussed how the Tampa Bay Lightning have built a potential Stanley Cup defending team by drafting well in rounds 3-7 and we remembered Tom Kurvers, a hockey legend in Minnesota, a 1986 Stanley Cup Champion and a past Hobey Baker Award winner for the great man he was.
