The 2025-26 season is about halfway through and three players have separated themselves at the top of the Calder race: Schaefer, Demidov, and Sennecke. We break those three down in the first segment before moving onto a pair of netminders who keep rising alongside Zeev Buium on the heels of the top pack. Finally, we wrap it up with the honourable mentions, four players who have made notable impacts as rookies but lack the stardust of the top names.  Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL 📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter  Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian  📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods  📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

The centre position is truly the wildcard of the 2026 draft with a lack of high end talent. Reaches on pivots seems inevitable, but has this narrative been overblown? We dig into the best centres of the draft, including many ranked in my 2nd round who are likely to end up in the first round and maybe even top 20. We delve through the tiers and highlight the names NHL teams will be battling for come draft day.   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL 📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter  Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian  📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods  📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! DripDrop Right now, DripDrop is offering podcast listeners 20% off your first order.Go to https://dripdrop.com and use promo code LOCKEDONNHL. Indeed Now, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

Is 2026 the Draft of defencemen? It most certainly is. We break down the distinct tiers among first-round quality blueliners in this episode, highlighted by 4 blue chip prospects showcasing their talents at the World Juniors: Keaton Verhoeff, Chase Reid, Carson Carels, and Alberts Šmits. We discuss the reasons these four will likely be the first ones selected on draft day and present two contenders to jump into the top tier: Ryan Lin and Daxon Rudolph. Finally, we wrap up the show with the glut of defencemen who will fill the middle and late end of the first round, for their projectable, physical brands of play built for the NHL playoffs before ranking these 12 blueliners.   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHLProspects?sid=YouTube Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL 📲 Follow Locked On NHL Prospects on Twitter  Locked On NHL Prospects https://twitter.com/LO_NHLProspects Sebastian High https://twitter.com/high_sebastian  📺 Follow Locked On NHL: https://twitter.com/LockedOnNHLPods  📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers  #NHL #Hockey #NHLDraft #nhlprospects Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! DripDrop Right now, DripDrop is offering podcast listeners 20% off your first order.Go to https://dripdrop.com and use promo code LOCKEDONNHL. Indeed Now, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.
