Hlinka Gretzky and 2026 NHL Draft preseason ranking takeaways
Episode Notes
This summer’s very competitive Hlinka Gretzky Cup is now in the books with the US taking gold over Sweden and Canada finishing an underwhelming tournament with the bronze medal. Max, Corey, and Scott discuss what contributed to Canada’s poor performance, Keaton Verhoeff’s play, why Finland’s Oliver Suvanto was the second best center behind Canada’s Tynan Lawrence at the tournament, and much more. Plus, the guys break down Scott’s latest 2026 NHL Draft ranking and have a quick debate on Ryan Lin to close things out.
