The Hockey Writers' prospects experts Matthew Zator, Peter Baracchini, and Devin Little get together to dive into Matthew's April top-96 rankings where they look at his top 10, some risers and fallers from his top-64 rankings and whether anyone moved in the rankings due to the CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game.
Then in the second half of the show, they discuss the signings of Owen Power, Kent Johnson, Nick Blankenburg and Max Ellis and potential signings of Matty Beniers and Matthew Knies. They also look at the ceiling of Devon Levi and the strange decision to not name him the Hobey Baker Award winner after giving him the Mike Richter Award as the NCAA's top goaltender.
