On this episode of The Hockey News On The 'Dub' Podcast with Carol Schram and Adam Kierszenblat: Everett Silvertips defenseman Kaden Hammell joins the show to talk about being drafted by the Seattle Kraken, elevating his game by playing with and against talents like Connor Bedard and Fraser Minten while growing up, his trade last season from Kamloops to Everett, and what it's like playing in the U.S. for the first time in the evolving hockey market that is Washington State. In Headlines, we look at the highlights of the 63 WHL players who were named to NHL Central Scouting's early-season players to watch list. This week's three stars feature an unstoppable forward, a steady netminder who's chasing a record and a surging homegrown veteran. That first star of the week also happens to be a prospect of the Seattle Kraken, our NHL team of the week. Adam and Carol give the rundown of the 'Dub' players in their system. Adam recaps his game of the week and gives his pick for this week's game to watch and highlights a trade from just one year ago as his pick from this week in WHL history.
