Welcome into the C HGO Blackhawks podcast presented by Points Bet used a promo code CHGO when you sign up to get two risk-free bets up to $2,000.

Happy Thursday. I'm Jay Zawaski with Greg Boyson and Mario Tiribasi as usual.

We are joined by a special guest. Scott Wheeler of the Athletic, he recently published

his prospect rankings and as the NHL team really doesn't matter for the next half

decade, we're hyper focused on the Blackhawks prospect. So that's where we're going to start

today's show later on. Max Domi met the media earlier today and had some really great

stuff to say about Luke Richardson. So we're going to share those comments as well as well. But first want to welcome Scott to the show. Scott, I know you're a busy man. Thank you for taking

a time out to join us here on CHGO Blackhawks. We appreciate it. Yeah, thanks, guys. This is obviously

a big week for me with the drafted prospects rankings coming up and prep for the world juniors. I fly out at the end of next week. So getting back into the swing of things I had last week off, sort of following the draft,

but now it's right back into it with the world, those sort of weird world juniors this summer.

I'm just glad it's back.

I'm glad we get to watch it.

I'm just, it's so funny.

You know, the cup was won not that long ago.

And I already miss hockey so much.

I know. It's going to feel different. Obviously, there's a dark cloud hanging over

hockey Canada these days. And that plus just the fact that this is being played in the summer,

that it's being played without Russia. It's, I don't think it's going to feel really at all,

like the world juniors typically do. The world juniors are kind of my Stanley cup and my favorite part of the hockey season I don't think I'm going to have that feeling when I get to Edmonton but it's still I mean for the kids it's still the world juniors they're still playing for a gold medal it's still going to have that that excitement for them I don't think it's going to feel different for them.

They don't know any other experience.

So it's going to be great just to watch these kids play,

get updated viewings on all of them, all of that.
