Seeing MBN playing with ASP in Skelleftea will definitly be among the most exciting thing next season honestly what a duo !

[@yossarian1385]

Thanks for the show. The only thing I would add is the favorite for the Calder is Matvei Michkov.

[@shawnerickstad129]

Agreed and Michkov has to be one of favorites for Calder and surprised they didn’t mention him

[@al_9739]

I can’t wait to potentially see a Buium-Faber pairing. Slightly off-topic but how likely is it that Riley Heidt is on the opening night roster?

[@carl-johanfougstedt199]

Great show!

[@shawnerickstad129]

Why uncertainty with Gridin playing in the USHL? Guess don’t understand that statement, so you’re saying the USHL isn’t a good or top junior league? Nine players going in first round played in the USHL and plenty more going in next few rounds. I can understand uncertainty with a player in the QMHJL as they had one player go in first two rounds and lately their top prospects that dominate in that league like Lafreniere aren’t as good as thought and take longer to develop

[@mattatr0n677]

He said he played in the USHL, then didnt, then said he did, then said he was confusing him with another prospect. I wouldnt put much credence in an analysis like that.

[@wizb4707]

@@mattatr0n677probably because this is a new thing.

[@mattatr0n677]

@wizb4707 i dunno what thing is new. He's been a prospect playing in the USHL all year... actually the last 2 years.
