Vitali Abramov and Russ Cohen were interviewed in the intermission of each game (Apologies for background audio) Peter asks Vitali about the differences between junior, AHL and NHL and for Vitali to forecast his fantasy upside.
Russ gives Peter plenty of great prospect insight from players in the Top Prospect game, junior all the way up to hot rookies in the NHL.

2020 World Junior preview of Team Canada with special guest Steven Ellis of The Hockey News
Steven and Peter review the Canadian roster, the outlook for the tournament. There are questions in goal and more cuts still to come but Canada may be an underrated team this year and may rally around the under dog, us vs the world attitude.
The two top players for the 2020 NHL Draft will play for Canada in Alexis Lafreniere and Quinton Byfield. Will playing together tip the balance one way or the other as to which player is selected number one?
Who will emerge as Canadas goalie? Guelph star Nico Daws has come from nowhere, can he run with it?
The defense will be lead by two studs Bowen Byram and Ty Smith, and will have another 2020 Draft eligible in Jamie Drysdale, possibly as the seventh defenseman.
Late additions released to Canada to help bolster the forward depth include Barrat Hayton (Arizona Coyotes), and Joe Veleno (Detroit Red Wings) and gives Canada a massive boost.
How will Canada deploy OHL scoring leader Connor McMichael?
Akil Thomas, Aidan Dudas and Peters fan boy favorite player Nolan Foot and more discussion this episode.
Bonus, pretty sure Peter was able to pronounce all the Canadian players names correctly...Maybe

2020 World Junior preview of Team Sweden with guest Jimmy Hamrin of McKeens hockey
Jimmy and Peter review the Swedish roster, will this be the year they win a Medal round game, or lose a round robin game?
With a big question mark at the center position, and Peter has big questions about the goaltending that Jimmy answers, there is no question this teams strength is its defense.
Leafs prospect Rasmus Sandin leads the D along with Nils Lundqvist and three top 18-year-old prospects in Philip Broberg, Tobias Bjornfort and Victor Soderstrom.
Perhaps the most interesting story line to follow on Sweden this year will be the play of two top 2020 draft eligible prospects in Lucas Raymond and Alexander Holtz who will both be top ten picks for sure.
Jimmy also gives a great sleeper player to watch in Nikola Pasic so be sure to listen to what he has to say about him

2020 World Junior Preview of Team Russia with guest Viktor Fomich.
Viktor and Peter review the Russian roster, a annual Medal contender in the tournament and that they look to be a contender again.
Draft eligible goalie sensation Yaroslav Askarov will compete for the starting role in goal, which will be a challenge as Head Coach Valeri Bragin has favored the older players in the past.
The Russian defense will see the return of last years star Alexander Romanov, a Montreal Canadiens prospect. Philadelphia Flyers free agent find Yegor Zamula is poised to play a prominent role as well coming from the WHL.
At forward, another player coming from the CHL is Alexander Khovanov who dominated for Russia in the two CHL vs. Russia games in the Q. He could be the number one center. Another returning player that dominated with Russia last year is Grigori Denesinko and he will be looked upon to carry the offensive load fro Russia.
Viktor gives a few sleeper pick players to look for and more

2020 World Junior preview of Team Finland with special guest Jokke Nevalainen, Head of European Scouting for DobberProspects.
Jokke and Peter review the Finland roster, if 2020 Draft eligible prospect Anton Lundell will have a spot or not and what impact that may have.
Aatu Raty will be a player to watch as he currently projects to possibly be the first overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, and would be the first Finnish player in history to accomplish that.
One breakout potential forward to watch is Matias Maccelli who has had a monster season as an 18-year-old in the Liiga and already has two years of experience in North America.
Another question mark for the forward roster is Carolina prospect Patrik Puistola who is currently injured but is expected to go.
Peter and Jokke review the top pairing on defense in Ville Heinola and Lassi Thomson as well as the depth players to watch.
Perhaps the best player to look for is in goal with Justus Annunen who has been crazy good in the Liiga this year and is about to become a household name for Colorado Avalanche fans
