Weekend Brunch: Ivan Hlinka on the horizon
@Tigervixxxen breaks down why the Ivan Hlinka tournament is so important for the NHL Draft, especially 2018. “This is not an IIHF sponsored event but serves as a bookend with the IIHF Under 18 World Championship in the spring as the premiere Under 18 events for first year draft eligibles.” [Mile High Hockey]
Top 25 Under 25: Nail Yakupov will be an unknown quantity when he comes into Colorado. “One thing that can be said about Yakupov is that he has never given up. He never left for the KHL, he never barred himself from the media and fans, and he always did what his coach asked him to do.” [Mile High Hockey]
