The Hockey Writers' prospects experts Matthew Zator and Peter Baracchini get together for another episode to preview the upcoming Memorial Cup tournament in Saint John, New Brunswick as they go through players to watch from each team and make their predictions for who will win it all and which player will walk away with the Memorial Cup MVP award.
Then in the second half of the show, they discuss some prospect news and signings from where Andrei Kuzmenko will end up to Liam Foudy's future with the Columbus Blue Jackets. They also talk about Vitaly Kravtsov and whether his recent one-year contract is a precursor to a trade and the potential impact Nils Aman and Filip Johansson could have on the Vancouver Canucks in the future.
