Summary
Called Up is going deep on the top of the 2026 NHL Draft and beyond this week as Chris and Cam discuss how the first round can be tiered. Chris and Cam think as many as six players belong in the serious discussions for teams at the very top of the draft. Find out who they are and why this class is so tricky. Additionally, Chris and Cam share a little insight into list building, handicapping where they think some players will go by sharing if they'll go before or after a player in a similar tier. After that, Chris and Cam get into a True or False style Called Up Challenge, go through Beyond Belief and a unique You Have To Pick One segment. Lastly, this week's episode is dedicated to the memory of Johan Nilsson, the founder of EliteProspects. Johan passed away Wednesday after a lengthy battle with cancer. His influence and impact on the hockey world at large is immeasurable and he will be missed. Our thoughts are with all who knew and loved him. Learn more about your ad choices.
