First, Max and Corey talk about the Michigan Wolverines, featuring a lineup with four of the top five picks in the 2021 NHL Draft, torching the Bowling Green Falcons 7-1 in an exhibition game last weekend, expectations this season for Owen Power, Matty Beniers, Luke Hughes, and Kent Johnson, and how the year could play out in Michigan.
Then, the guys dive into the Calder Trophy debate and discuss a bunch of potential nominees, including frontrunners Cole Caufield and Trevor Zegras, as well as Spencer Knight, Jamie Drysdale, Lucas Raymond, Shane Pinto, and Alex Nedeljkovic, and make their picks for who will actually win the award.
Plus, to close things out, the guys discuss the NHL teams whose prospects could really propel their respective organizations to the next level this season, including the New York Rangers, New Jersey Devils, Ottawa Senators, and Los Angeles Kings.
