Carol Schram and Adam Kierszenblat compare Connor Bedard's point totals to Connor McDavid's draft year, discuss Leafs prospects in the WHL and more.
On this episode of The Hockey News On The 'Dub' Podcast with Carol Schram and Adam Kierszenblat:
- Top draft prospects Andrew Cristall and Samuel Honzek return from significant injuries, and we've got a 15-year-old 'Dub' star tearing up the Canada Winter Games in WHL Headlines.
- We've got a surging goalie and two sharp scorers in the spotlight in the three stars of the week.
- Our player profile features Grayden Siepmann and Borya Valis, who were passed over in the 2022 draft but could find themselves in the mix in Nashville this June.
- The Toronto Maple Leafs are our NHL team of the week. WHL prospects in the Lightning system include Brandon Lisowsky, Fraser Minten and Josh Pillar, whose rights were just acquired as part of the Ryan O'Reilly trade.
- In our Connor Bedard Watch, Bedard hit 100 points in the WHL on the same night Connor McDavid did it in the NHL. We do the math on how Bedard's totals to date stack up against McDavid's draft year.
