2020 NHL Draft - Thomas Bordeleau vs. Brendan Brisson - Prospect Showdown

Welcome one, welcome all! Episode SIX of Cross-Ice Prospects is here, and we're taking today's show stateside to compare two budding American stars. Both guys are undersized centres who dominated their competition and carried their teams offensively, and now, soon-to-be etching their names in the late first or early second rounds of Draft Day. We've got Thomas Bordeleau, the headsy do-it-all type from Dallas by way of Switzerland on one side. In the other, stands Brendan Brisson, the one-timer machine from the West Coast. Gimme the Bordeleau family, gimme the Brisson family, and let's play some Prospect Showdown. There can only be one winner.

2020 NHL Draft - Lucas Raymond vs. Alexander Holtz - Prospect Showdown

Cinco, cinco, cinco. Episode FIVE of Cross-Ice Prospects is here and today we're serving up a delicious treat from Sweden. You may recognize these two prospects from their days blazing up the World Juniors and U18s. One scored a hat-trick over Russia in the Gold Medal game, while the other, his countryman and linemate, assisted on it. These two young studs are the power couple of Swedish hockey. Their dekes are nastier than pickled herring. Their passes are sweeter than Swedish fish. As hockey scout Ryan Kennedy calls it, they are the Terror Twins. They are... Lucas Raymond. And Alexander Holtz. Today on the show, we're going to pit the BFFs against each other, see how their skills and games compare, and, when it's all said and done, find out who your team should take when Draft Day rolls around...

2020 NHL Draft - Dylan Holloway - Wisconsin Badgers

It's episode FOUR of Cross-Ice Prospects and we're travelling out west for this one, scouting none other than number four: Dylan Holloway. He's one of the strongest players in this year's NHL Draft, who's excelled at every turn he's stopped, from the Okotoks Oilers in the AJHL, to Team Canada at the Hlinka-Gretzky, and most notably, on the Wisconsin Badgers. Holloway might be one of the oldest players available, but he was the youngest in the NCAA, which makes his 17 points in 35 games no small feat. These numbers might not jump off the page, but as we dig a little deeper into Holloway's stats and game, we quickly find a dominant young centre brimming with potential on all ends of the ice.

2020 NHL Draft - Jamie Drysdale vs. Jake Sanderson - Prospect Showdown

What's better than covering one NHL draft prospect? How about two. Today, it's the 3rd episode and FIRST Prospect Showdown. With this series, we'll compare two players who, for one reason or another, are inextricably linked in their draft class. Be it their size, position, team, or nationality, or a combination of other things. In one corner, we have Jamie Drysdale—a dynamic, undersized D-man with elite skating, while in the other corner stands Jake Sanderson—a bruising backender with a mean streak. These two guys present an enticing matchup, and our job is to uncover their skillsets, and answer the important question: who should be taken first?

2020 NHL Draft - Marco Rossi - Ottawa 67s

It's the first actual episode of Cross-Ice Prospects, and what better player to explore than Marco Rossi? He's tenacious, he's shifty, and he's skyrocketed up draft boards in recent months. Today on the show, we'll cover a bit of his upbringing in Austria, his journey to the OHL, his sensational skillset, his comparables, and his developmental projections. I had a lot of fun making this first episode and I hope you enjoy listening!
