    The 2021 U20 World Juniors Championship

    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.

Haitinhlscout ,

Super duper

Great to have a podcast to match my ep app
How much chaos would be caused if Quinton Byfield went number 1 overall
And do you see a black player going number overall in the future if byfield doesn’t

wan8iv ,

JD and Craig Button great together

Great first podcast with Stutzle and Doug Wilson Jr. - Hopefully when we get closer to the NHL draft you’ll both go into detail on a lot of the top prospects. What do you two think it would take for Ottawa to move up from around 21 with NYIslanders pick they have to around the 10th spot in the draft? Ottawa has 4 2nd’s and 2 3rds this year and 2 2nd’s next year. They need quality in my opinion because of the amount of prospects they already have. Thanks, Great show!!
