Called Up: The Hockey Prospects PodcastShow Notes
WE'RE BaaaAAAAaaack!!!! After a few weeks off, Season 3 of Called Up: The Prospects Podcast is here and we're getting you geared up for the 2027 NHL Draft season.
It's the Landon DuPont draft and we break down why he's the No. 1 prospect coming into the season, why teams will scrutinize him more heavily and who could end up as his biggest competition.
We're also talking about the other players you should know for 2027 including top Russian prospect Nazar Privalov, Milan Sundstrom, Jonah Neunschwander, Alexis Joseph and many more.
We dig into why Joseph's stock has dipped coming into the season and why early hype can sometimes be a detriment.
Plus we examine questions like Where are all the other defensemen for this draft after DuPont? Is this another alarmingly down year for the USA? And could Maddox Schultz and Liam Pue leapfrog the 2027-eligibles for some key spots at the World Juniors?
Plus, you won't want to miss our regular segments including the Called Up Challenge, Beyond Belief and You Have To Pick One.
