Corey’s updated best U23 NHL players, Team USA men’s Olympic hockey roster breakdown, listener questions, and more

First, Max and Corey deep dive into Corey’s newly-updated best under-23 NHL players list and discuss some of the biggest risers, including New Jersey Devils standout Jack Hughes, the trio of likely Calder trophy finalists Lucas Raymond, Trevor Zegras, and Moritz Seider, as well as Jason Robertson, Mason McTavish, Seth Jarvis, Martin Necas, and more. Then, the guys talk about the soon-to-be-announced Team USA men’s Olympic hockey roster, expected to include names like Matty Beniers, Brendan Brisson, Jake Sanderson, Brock Faber, Matthew Knies, and Nathan Smith, how participating in the games could impact NCAA awards for the players, and the evaluation process heading into the NHL Draft in July. Plus, to close things out, the guys open up the mailbag and answer listener questions, including why Cole Caufield and Sebastian Cossa dropped so much in the U23 rankings this time around, comparing and contrasting Matthew Savoie and Logan Cooley as prospects, if Cutter Gauthier can be a top ten pick in this year’s NHL Draft, Corey’s intel on impending free agent Andrei Kuzmenko of SKA Saint Petersburg, initial thoughts on Marco Rossi’s and Matthew Boldy’s first NHL games, and thoughts on the longterm outlook of the San Jose Sharks.
