Chris and Cam break down what the options are for the top five teams and what they should consider. After the lottery talk, Chris and Cam talk about players making plans for next season and what that might look like for a few notable recruits. Plus, we briefly preview the championship series in the CHL, two of which you can watch on FloHockey.
