On this episode of The Hockey News On The 'Dub' Podcast with Carol Schram and Lizz Child:
- Connor Bedard tops the mid-term rankings from NHL Central Scouting. The WHL figures prominently at the top of the North American lists. Lizz tells us who she thinks is too high and who's too low.
- Two of this week's three stars hail from the Everett Silvertips and one from the Victoria Royals, with both teams in tight races for playoff positioning.
- The Montreal Canadiens are the NHL team of the week. Their fifth-round pick from 2022, Jared Davidson, is having an excellent season back with the Seattle Thunderbirds. WHL alumni in the Canadiens organization include Gianni Fairbrother, Kaiden Guhle, Kirby Dach, Joel Edmundson and Brendan Gallagher.
- Our goalies of the week were traded for each other, not long before the deadline. Braden Holt is excelling in Victoria, while Tyler Palmer has been a workhorse in Everett.
- In our Connor Bedard Watch, eight points and two game-winners for the WHL's top scorer this week, as Bedard hits 600 shots in his Dub career to date. Lizz sets a points target she wants Bedard to meet this week before he heads to the Top Prospects game, and Carol ponders his place in the history of B.C.'s top hockey players.
