## Resource

Daren Millard and John Shannon bring in draft expert Sam Cosentino, who will be covering the NHL Draft for Sportsnet and NHL Network, to break down a draft landscape that's already full of intrigue. The centerpiece of the conversation is the Brady Tkachuk trade from Ottawa to Florida and how it reshapes draft strategies league-wide. Sam runs through the top prospects — including Gavin McKenna, Ivar Stennberg, and Caleb Malhotra — and the guys tackle the elephant in the room: would Vancouver dare to draft Caleb Malhotra, son of new head coach Manny Malhotra? The discussion also covers the real possibility of trades within the top 5 picks, the shifting development paths between the CHL and NCAA, and why American players are increasingly gravitating toward non-Canadian markets. Plus, speculation heats up around what Winnipeg and other teams might do before draft day.
