Dave MorassuttiHOST
[clears throat]
Mike DiStefanoHOST
And then Patrik Plumens is a very intriguing prospect for me, taken in the draft this past season, and, uh, he's that one that they took, and he had stonewalled the Americans in the Hlinka Gretzky tournament, uh, last year, and really put his name on the map for the draft.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
So excited to see what Patrik Plumens can, uh, can do for the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
So there's your, there's your team right there.
Chris PetersHOST
We'll see how he takes that ball.
Chris PetersHOST
and runs with it or doesn't um but yeah but i mean you know we saw those guys we talked a little bit last week about like sunstrom you know it's i think there's a lot of varying opinions on on him as a player he ends up at number nine on your guys's list um you know you talk to teams and a lot of them are going to have the discussions and neunschwander and and sunstrom are very much in that discussion kind of towards the top end of the draft but I think you talked about it a little bit before where it was just like the Hlinka didn't leave the best impression to start off the season.
Chris PetersHOST
And we'll see where he ends up.
Chris PetersHOST
But some of the names that you didn't see on your screen that are there, Dima Jelkin at 11, Alexi Joseph at 12, Sammy Nelson at 13, Bossy Meyer at 14, Brock England at 15.
Tony FerrariHOST
Now guys, just to kick things off, let's start with, uh, an outlook sort of on the, uh, 2027 NHL draft.
Tony FerrariHOST
We just had, uh, the first major event of the scouting calendar, um, which was the Hlinka Gretzky last year, or, sorry, last month, where we got to see some of the top draft eligible prospects compete on the international stage, some of them for the first time, some of them for the second time.
Tony FerrariHOST
Um, so Ryan, we'll start with you.
Tony FerrariHOST
Who were some of the, uh, standouts for you at that tournament? And, uh, let's just talk a little bit about the draft class as a whole here.
Ryan KennedyHOST
He's already played at the World Juniors a couple of times.
Ryan KennedyHOST
Um, and I, I'm very curious to see by the end of this season how things shake out because, like I said, there's a lot of talented kids that are a little on the smaller side, and then some of these bigger kids that it'll be interesting to see what kind of potential they fulfill.
Tony FerrariHOST
Yeah, that was my biggest takeaway from the, the Hlinka Gretzky as well is we have some of the bigger prospects, for, for example Alexi Joseph, is a guy that everyone's coming to the year super, super high on.
Tony FerrariHOST
Everyone wants to see him at his, his top end potential.
Tyson ColeHOST
We had-- We only had a couple tournaments.
Tyson ColeHOST
We had the Hlinka Gretzky, but, uh, I wanna kind of focus on the World Junior Summer, Summer Showcase.
Tyson ColeHOST
Um-
Dave HallHOST
Summer Showcase.
Ray FerraroGUEST
I think Sean Horcoff, I think.
John ShannonHOST
Well, listen, Steve, Steve went to the Hlinka Gretzky tournament in Edmonton.
Daren MillardHOST
Yeah.
John ShannonHOST
He was, he was, he was the r- one of the Red Wing guys there.
Brandon PlantHOST
He was a QMJHL champion last year.
Brandon PlantHOST
He won the Hlinka Gretzky Cup last year as well, and the Under-18 World Junior Championship.
Brandon PlantHOST
He may even be the starting goaltender for Team Canada at this year's World Juniors.
Brandon PlantHOST
All this guy knows how to do is win.
Stuart ForrealHOST
I want the Flames to do well.
Stuart ForrealHOST
However, it would be nice to see the Flames tank this year because the first overall pick, who I seen play Landon DuPont during the Gretzky-Helinka Cup there, or Helinka-Gretzky Cup, excuse me, defenseman, looks awesome.
Stuart ForrealHOST
And I would love to see him.
Stuart ForrealHOST
And he's from Calgary.
JanaHOST
Our August was probably one of the busiest we've ever had.
JanaHOST
My son spent two weeks in Edmonton preparing for the Hlinka Gretzky Cup with Team Canada.
JanaHOST
And when we had found out that he had made the team, our whole family flew to Edmonton for a week to watch the tournament and cheer him on.
JanaHOST
After the tournament, we all flew home together for one day.

Actually think it was still a Hlinka tournament when they won gold, and that's the U18 at the end of the year.
Cameron GaunceGUEST
I think they won bronze there, but that is not me.
Cameron GaunceGUEST
Um, those are my brothers, too.
Cameron GaunceGUEST
That's the Hlinka Gretzky that he was in.
Cameron GaunceGUEST
I actually think it was still a Hlinka tournament when they won gold.
