As we officially enter Year 2 of Hockey Sense and Talking Hockey Sense, it’s time for another Q&A episode. I got a ton of super insightful and thought-provoking questions that hit a ton of different topics. There should be something in here for everyone that loves following prospects.
There’s a lot of talk in here about college hockey, the rescheduled world juniors, individual prospects and so much more.
Among the highlights that I was able to go a little longer on…
Which prospect changed or developed their game the most in recent memory between getting drafted and becoming a full time NHL player?
Your thoughts on the WJC How many of the same kids will attend ? And if a kid signs, does he jeopardize getting injured? Who has a chance to make the August WJC USA squad that wasn’t in the Jan team? At the rescheduled WJC, will Covid protocols be changed so a single positive test doesn’t result in the entire team quarantining and possible forfeit?
Would love to know of the top 10 selected in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft last summer, who's stock has risen or fallen this season?
Where is Ben Meyers in your top UDFAs? And where his best fit?
How close was Logan Cooley to signing with Penn State?
My personal favorite Q: Who has the best 2022-23 NCAA recruiting classes for NHL talent and who has the best classes coming in for NCAA success. Bonus question —what’s the big difference between the two?
Which current USHL head coaches or college hockey assistants are poised to be impact head coaches at top college programs by the end of this decade?
There’s a ton more questions that hit as well. Hope you’ll check it out and enjoy.
