Called Up: The Hockey Prospects Podcast: Nhl Draft Rankings Reviewed: Central Scoutings Final List For 2026; Why Was Viggo

Episode Description

The NHL Central Scouting final rankings are out. Chris and Cam, as you'd expect, have some thoughts on the way it all shook out. The two discuss the surprises or lack thereof and also take a look further down the list. Plus, you won't want to miss the discussion on the way teams and international federations are trying to stop the flow of players to developmental paths they are competing with. Chris and Cam share their own opinions about how international federations are using national team opportunities as battle grounds to stop player movement. Up next, Chris and Cam discuss the early rosters we've seen for the IIHF U18 Men's World Championship which kicks off next week in Slovakia. This week, we also brought back the Called Up Challenge where Chris and Cam test each other's prospect knowledge with just a few context clues. Plus we talk about David Carle's future, the NCAA coaches that could get NHL nods, plus some NHL Draft prospects that could get the nod for Men's Worlds in our Beyond Belief segment. And lastly, Chris and Cam talk about which superstar teenager they would rather build a team around: Macklin Celebrini and Matthew Schaefer. It's a jam-packed show! Learn more about your ad choices.
