The Senstennial Podcast

On today's episode of The Senstennial Podcast, host Matt is joined by NHL Entry Draft analyst, Will Scouch! We discuss Will's methodology for tracking prospects and reflections on his previous draft pick favourites. We switch focus to the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, and the Ottawa Senators' 21st overall selection to debate who Ottawa's amateur scouts may have their eyes on. We discuss expected first round prospects such as Cullen Porter, Linden Lakovic, Shane Vansaghi, and Ben Kindel. We get Will's thoughts on who some of his favourite players in the 2025 draft class are, players he believes are underrated, and whether there are any goalies worth drafting this year. Finally, we finish the episode with some jersey talk... Best jersey in junior? Worst jersey in junior? SPONGEBOB?!?
