About this episode
There are more moves in the USHL to share in this week's edition of The Hockey News American Pipeline Podcast with Mike Stephens and Sydney Wolf.
- Sydney analyzes five trades, including Madison selling another player in the beginning of a rebuild and some interesting moves in Omaha to acquire Haden Kruse.
- Everyone talks about Adam Fantilli, but Gavin Brindley has been quietly really good. How promising is this 2023 NHL draft-eligible right winger?
- Speaking of Fantilli, the Hockey Commissioners Association announced the watch list for the Tim Taylor Award for the rookie of the year. Who's up against Fantilli to win the honor?
- Lleyton Roed of Bemidji State is the player to watch this week. The undrafted freshman leads the team in points with 22 in 28.
- The Minnesota Wild are the team of the week, with six NCAA prospects and Nate Benoit in the USHL. Brock Faber is one of the players to watch after he was acquired in the trade that sent Kevin Fiala to Los Angeles.
- Much more.
