While the Calder race gets most of the media attention, we zero in on 7 rookies outside that debate who have played increasingly vital roles for their respective teams. We start with Oliver Kapanen's role at the centre of the "Kid Line" in Montreal, ramping up the scoring rate as of late. Then, we chat about the seasons Yan Kusnetsov (CGY), Ryan Greene (CHI), and Fraser Minten (BOS) are having. Finally, we wrap up the show with the final trio of young guns who have impressed me as of late: Linus

The World Juniors Semifinals saw end-to-end action and the better teams winning both nail-biting games. The Czechs downed the Canadians for a third straight year, with a brand of intense and direct hockey that Canada's skill and finesse could not outplay over a full 60 minutes. We dig into what went right for the Czechs and what went wrong for the Canadians. The other matchup between Sweden and Finland became an instant classic. A late Finnish resurgence, end-to-end OT action, and a long shootout

One of my favourite power forwards from the past few drafts, Igor Chernyshov has gotten off to a great start to life in the NHL with 8 points in his first 7 games. We break down his season, progression, and what makes him special on today's show, including a rewind to the start of his draft year with my first enthusiastic game report on his potential and upside as a top-six NHL power forward.

We break those three down in the first segment before moving onto a pair of netminders who keep rising alongside Zeev Buium on the heels of the top pack.

The centre position is truly the wildcard of the 2026 draft with a lack of high end talent. Reaches on pivots seems inevitable, but has this narrative been overblown? We dig into the best centres of the draft, including many ranked in my 2nd round who are likely to end up in the first round and maybe even top 20.

Keaton Verhoeff's thunderous beginnings to life in college has earned him an invite to Team Canada's World Juniors Camp as a rare 17-year-old defenceman. Through a mix of massive frame, standout tools, and an elite blend of aggression and confidence, he has all the makings of a future #1 defenceman in the NHL. With a booming shot used as a one-timer threat on the power play, his game is a real 2000s throwback, and gives him the profile of a player who NHL organizations will salivate over. But can he

The biggest trade in recent NHL memory dropped out of nowhere last night, sending Quinn Hughes to Minnesota and returning a variety of prized assets to Vancouver. While losing the best player in a trade is never a great sign, the Canucks did well considering the circumstances. Zeev Buium is a special talent with top-pairing upside and could eventually make the loss of Hughes sting less. Marco Rossi's motor and IQ is elite and he should be a top-line presence as soon as he returns to health, while

He's seen as the heir apparent in the crease, but is the future here already? He wasn't the only rookie to shine in this game however, as the Penguins' kid line, led by 18-year-old Benjamin Kindel played a disruptive and high-pace brand of hockey.

The top line will be among the tournament's most potent, featuring draft-eligible starlet Ivar Stenberg and high-motor dynamo Victor Eklund flanking the Chicago Blackhawks' third overall pick, Anton Frondell.

The World Junior Championships are under a month away and the rosters have been announced, so we try our hand at predicting the lines and pairings. Elite talents will be left at home due to the breadth of American talent, but we can bank on big performances from the likes of James Hagens, Cole Eiserman, and Cole Hutson. Netminding may be the Achilles heel, but the overall skill and variety in the lineup should ensure a podium finish, but can they upset Team Canada once again? Roster link:
