You guys released the THN Future Watch recently, so name your favorite prospect that was featured in that new edition.
I'm gonna go first.
Because if Ryan takes my guy, I don't have a second.
I'm gonna go with Montreal's Ivan Demidov, Demidov, however you want to pronounce it.
Man, oh, man, there's not like a day that goes by where someone posts some KHL highlight of this kid just tearing it up.
Yeah.
So, I think the NHL's better when the Habs are a good team.
Similar to, like, the Leafs, like, It's just more exciting when you've got the big markets excited about hockey.
And, yeah... That they're in the mix.
So, I can't wait for this guy to come to the NHL.
I can't wait to see what he's gonna do with all those other young guys that Montreal has up.
Front.
So, I'm not gonna say where Demidov ranks, But, you know, he's a player.
He's gonna be something.
A tall player.
He's up there.
I'm gonna go with Berkly Catton.
The Seattle Kraken prospect playing in the WHL with Spokane.
Purely, I've always liked Berkly Catton's game, but the article written by Ken Campbell is very fun.
It talks about the dedication Berkly Catton had to, you know, playing outside, just on his own.
Uh, wow.
When he was away from the rink, playing on outdoor rinks.
Much to the detriment of his own health at times.
Yeah.
So definitely read that story.
It is an eye-opener.
