JACK MURTAGH SCOUTING REPORT | High-Motor Goalscorer with a Sprinkle of Violence

The World Junior Championships are under a month away and the Team Canada training camp roster has just been officialized, so we try our hand at predicting the lines and pairings. Elite talents will be left at home at forward as there are just too many names to choose from, and will be led by Gavin McKenna, Michael Misa, and Porter Martone. On defence, Zayne Parekh will lead the charge offensively, while draft-eligible Keaton Verhoeff and Carson Carels made the cut. In net, Carter George will almost certainly get the reins following dominant displays at the world juniors last year and the U18s the year prior. We break down our tournament predictions, too, as Team Canada's talent is so strong, anything but Gold will be a disappointment. Roster Link: https://www.tsn.ca/hockey-canada/article/canada-unveils-2026-world-junior-training-camp-roster/ Line Predictions McKenna - Misa - MartoneMartin - O’Brien - IginlaHage - Desnoyers - ReschnyBear - Beaudoin - LuchankoO’Reilly, CootesWildcards: Catton & Kindel Aitcheson - ParekhSmith - BrunickeReid - VerhoeffCarels - Danford GeorgeIvankovicRavensbergen  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.

The World Junior Championships are under a month away and the rosters have been announced, so we try our hand at predicting the lines and pairings. Elite talents will be left at home due to the breadth of American talent, but we can bank on big performances from the likes of James Hagens, Cole Eiserman, and Cole Hutson. Netminding may be the Achilles heel, but the overall skill and variety in the lineup should ensure a podium finish, but can they upset Team Canada once again? Roster link: https://teamusa.usahockey.com/worldjuniors2026-roster Line Predictions: Stiga - Hagens - ZiemerEiserman - Horcoff - PlanteConnelly - Bednarik - LeeSpellacy - McKinney - VansaghiMooney, McMorrow Hutson - EmeryOsburn - HenslerRhéaume-Mullen - KleberBrzustewicz - Reid KempfHeilReyelts  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.

The Ducks are off to a strong start to the season, and in this episode, I break down the standout performances from Beckett Sennecke, who's riding a 7-game point streak. The 19-year-old winger has drawn almost twice as many penalties as his next closest teammate through high-end handling skill and evasiveness. But just how high does his upside reach, and who may be his best linemates in the organization? 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.
