Chris and Cam are back this week with a look at the NHL Draft eligible players starting off their season hot and those that have not, plus when bad starts start impacting the draft board.
Plus, the duo takes a look at some early returns from top prospects in the AHL after an opening weekend saw a number of high-profile future stars perform at a high level in the NHL's top farm league.
Chris and Cam also look at the looming NHL expansion and whether or not the talent pool is there to support the league adding teams.
