Summary
Corey Pronman, senior NHL prospects writer, and Scott Wheeler, who covers the NHL draft and prospects nationally for The Athletic, join Craig for another instalment of The Prospect Series on the Full 60.
The guys discuss the news that came out this week about the 2021 NHL Draft, if we already need to re-order the top 3 of the 2020 draft, and who the next generational player might be.
Plus, we look at Wheeler's top 64 prospects for the 2021 draft, and we tease his way too early list for 2022.
Finally Craig gives his two cents on the NHL and ESPN reuniting with a 7 year broadcast contract.
Next week, Craig welcomes Chicago Steel of the USHL GM Ryan Hardy.
