Summary
This week's episode covers an awful lot, but it starts with the latest news and notes from the NHL Scouting Combine. Among the topics discussed, Gavin McKenna's busy schedule, Daxon Rudolph makes his college plans known and much more, the Men's Worlds participants land in Buffalo and more. We also switch gears to talk about the challenging landscape ahead for the National Team Development Program which has one of its most high-profile players for next season looking to leave. Chris and Cam share the latest about what they know and where things are going as the junior hockey landscape evolves. The pair also discuss the Toronto Maple Leafs bringing in Judd Brackett to the front office ahead of the draft, how the combine helps or hurts a prospect and whether or not those dinner meetings mean anything anymore. Plus, check out our regular segments including the Called Up Challenge: Combine Edition. We also address the following questions in Beyond Belief: Who will be the combine darling? Is the NHL Draft going to centralize once again? What will our redrafts of 2026 look like in five years? And, finally, the fellas decide what combine event they would use to punish their "enemies."
