Latest Canada, USA world juniors roster projections, lamenting the likely end of the in-person NHL Draft, and more

On this week’s Prospect Series episode of The Athletic Hockey Show it’s a full house as Max and Corey are joined by The Athletic’s Scott Wheeler and FloHockey’s Chris Peters to discuss their updated world juniors roster projections for Team Canada and Team USA, including their confidence level in Canada’s goaltending, fair expectations for Macklin Celebrini, a non-invite for Owen Pickering, Charlie Stramel getting cut, Rutger McGroarty’s availability, James Hagens’ potential role, Trey Augustine or Jacob Fowler in net for the US, and more. 

Plus, the guys talk about the likely last in-person NHL Draft at the Las Vegas Sphere this summer and what’s being lost if the league moves away from the current format going forward.
