  • Justin Carbonneau

    At a goal a game pace last time I looked how can Canada leave Justin off this team? It’s crazy to me as a Blues fan but you follow this much closer, I know Canada is loaded at forward, is it that simple?

    Thx

  • Good podcast

    Good information on prospects around the league, tends to have a bias towards Montreal

    And seems like prospects ceilings and floors change depending on what team drafts them as well

  • Excellent source for draft profiles, comparisons, and news

    I miss Hadi as the other half of the duo but Sebastian holds his own admirably. When my team picks up a young guy, this is where I come for analysis.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

WHO SHOULD THE CALGARY FLAMES DRAFT AT #6? (w/ Locked On Flames)
Q: Let's start at number six. Who are some of the names that you've kind of been floating around where the Calgary Flames will have a chance to draft?
We discuss a slate of top-name prospects likely to go in the top five and consider who could realistically fall to six, with Viggo Björck and Carson Carels highlighted as premier fits for Calgary, along with other options like Keaton Virhoff and Tynan Lawrence depending on order and team needs.
OLIVER SUVANTO SCOUTING REPORT | Why He'll Be Selected Earlier Than You Think
Q: Does he have 2C upside?
Yes, the hosts believe Suvanto has the potential to develop into a solid middle-six center, capable of two-way play and contributing in both zones, with development path and organization possibly unlocking more offensive potential.
THE GREAT 1st OVERALL DEBATE | Making the Case For 5 Different Players (w/ Prospect Don)
Q: Anthony, what would you say in favor of Ivar Stenberg as a top pick for the Leafs at one?
The guest discusses Stenberg's World Junior success, defensive reliability, and high compete level, highlighting that he could be the NHL-ready defender who contributes immediately while McKenna offers a higher offensive ceiling but more development questions.
THE GREAT 1st OVERALL DEBATE | Making the Case For 5 Different Players (w/ Prospect Don)
Q: What are your thoughts on Carson Carels and his chances of going inside the top two or top three for the Leafs at one?
The guest argues Carels is a dynamic, two-way defenseman with elite skating and puck-management ability, potentially a top-two pick if a team prioritizes a blue liner, and notes his development trajectory and fit for a team like Toronto.
THE GREAT 1st OVERALL DEBATE | Making the Case For 5 Different Players (w/ Prospect Don)
Q: Anthony, you want to introduce yourself to any audience members that may not be familiar with you?
The guest explains his background as The Prospect Don, owner of Draft Prospects Hockey, and notes his work including a simulator and GM franchise mode, plus content creation on X to share insights on prospects.
