In this week's episode, the opening segment makes a bit of a lane change. Rather than starting with news, Michael asks Ryan who he thinks will be traded first, Dylan Larkin or Connor Hellebuyck. Then, they take a look at the PWHL jerseys that dropped for the 4 new expansion teams.

Another lane change was made after the opening segment. Starting with NHL prospects instead of the usual PWHL. Ryan covers TJ Hughes, an up-and-coming prospect within the Avalanche organization. Michael then gives us a look at recently drafted Caleb Malhotra, of the Vancouver Canucks.

Then it is time for the PWHL. Ryan talks about Emma Sofie-Nordstrom, a goaltending prospect just drafted by the expansion franchise, PWHL Hamilton. Michael talks about Makenna Webster, another recent draft pick from this year's PWHL draft.

In this episode, Michael and Ryan open the show with one of the biggest stories in hockey: Alex Ovechkin announcing that the 2026–27 season will be his final year in the NHL. The guys break down what Ovi’s retirement means for the league, his impact on the modern era, and where they personally rank him among the greatest players of all time.

Then it’s time for Ladies First, where Michael spotlights elite goaltending prospect Ava McNaughton, and Ryan dives into the game of rising forward Jade Iginla — two players shaping the future of women’s hockey.

After that, the show shifts to NHL prospect talk. Michael breaks down Dmitri Borichev, one of the most intriguing young goaltenders in the pipeline, while Ryan covers Tij Iginla, a dynamic forward with top‑end upside.

A mix of breaking news, prospect analysis, and long‑term projections — this episode covers the present and future of the game.

This week we're covering four rising stars across both the NHL and PWHL prospect pipelines. We start with Finnish two-way defender Nelli Laitinen, PWHL Hamilton's first-ever draft pick (6th overall, 2026) out of the University of Minnesota, breaking down her Olympic pedigree with Team Finland and her transition from steady defender to legitimate offensive threat. Then we shift to Vancouver Goldeneyes' late-round pick Ashley Messier, a former Minnesota Duluth alternate captain and true underdog story fighting for a pro roster spot. On the men's side, we scout Anaheim Ducks second-round pick Mathis Preston, a dynamic WHL winger out of the Vancouver Giants whose draft stock cratered and rebounded within a single season, and Boston Bruins first-rounder James Hagens, the former consensus No. 1 prospect turned NHL rookie center. Full scouting breakdowns, stats, strengths, weaknesses, and outlooks for all four — a can't-miss episode for PWHL draft fans, NHL prospect hounds, and anyone tracking the next generation of pro hockey talent.
