The 2021 U20 World Juniors Championship
Welcome to the eighth episode of The EliteProspects podcast, co-hosted by Craig Button and JD Burke. In this episode, Craig and JD evaluate most WJC U20 teams including Team Canada, Team USA, Team Finland, Team Sweden, and a few more. With key players like Kirby Dach, Trevor Zegras, and many more players who were unlikely to play in a normal global setting, the WJC will not only be the most exciting tournament of the year, but arguably the only chance to see many of these prospects play for the season.

Customer Reviews
Smaller guys
What do you think guys smaller guys like Rossi, Nybeck, etc. Have going for them this draft? Caufield fell last year, so you never know. Just bringing it up since Brayden Point is ripping up the playoffs.
Finally An NHL Prospect Podcast!!!
I absolutely love this podcast and I’m happy to see JD and Craig focus specifically on NHL prospect. Keep the great work. Only feedback, is you guys need more episodes 😁. Maybe a do podcast where you guys focus on Canadian teams and who they might draft with their picks. Love to see Montreal #GoHabsGo
Chicago Steel
It’s still early, but this is my favourite prospects podcast since “the Next Ones” with Jeff Marek and Sam Cosentino. I just caught up on the episodes today and already can’t wait for the next episode to drop!
Question: You both agreed that the USHL is a league that isn’t scouted to its full potential. On your next podcast, could you both speak about the 19-20 Chicago Steel team and the prospects that are likely to get drafted this year? I know you already spoke a but about Brisson, however I’m very curious about Colangelo, Fontaine, Fontaine, De Saint Phalle, and although he’s not draft eligible this year, Owen Power.
