In this episode, we discuss 7 notable rookies who have sufficiently impressed through preseason to grab opening night roster spots even when they perhaps weren't expected to. First, we start off with Seamus Casey, who has already delivered some dynamic offensive performances from the blueline for the New Jersey Devils, as well as Samuel Honzek, who not only won a roster spot but has taken line rushes on Calgary's top line in practice. Next, we focus on a pair of defensively-responsible centres who impressed throughout camp: Jett Luchanko of the Philadelphia Flyers and Oliver Kapanen of the Montreal Canadiens. Finally, we wrap up the show by focusing on a trio of skilled forwards, highlighted by Calum Ritchie, who deservingly won himself a spot in Colorado's lineup.  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 Hadi Kalakeche https://twitter.com/HadiK_Scouting 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! GametimeDownload the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNHL for $20 off your first purchase.
