We are joined by long-time host of NHL Prospects Radio, Shane Malloy, to discuss the state of junior hockey in North America, in an ever-changing landscape. Included in this is a conversation about the U.S. NTDP, and who are the favorites in the upcoming World Junior Championship.

And, of course, while we're at it, we talk about whether or not Gavin McKenna still should be drafted No. 1 overall next summer.
