Keaton Verhoeff's thunderous beginnings to life in college has earned him an invite to Team Canada's World Juniors Camp as a rare 17-year-old defenceman. Through a mix of massive frame, standout tools, and an elite blend of aggression and confidence, he has all the makings of a future #1 defenceman in the NHL. With a booming shot used as a one-timer threat on the power play, his game is a real 2000s throwback, and gives him the profile of a player who NHL organizations will salivate over. But can he beat out heavy competition to earn the first overall selection come June?

The biggest trade in recent NHL memory dropped out of nowhere last night, sending Quinn Hughes to Minnesota and returning a variety of prized assets to Vancouver. While losing the best player in a trade is never a great sign, the Canucks did well considering the circumstances. Zeev Buium is a special talent with top-pairing upside and could eventually make the loss of Hughes sting less. Marco Rossi's motor and IQ is elite and he should be a top-line presence as soon as he returns to health, while Liam Öhgren plays the game the right way, has heaps of chemistry with Jonathan Lekkerimaki, and projects as a long-term middle-six winger. Add in a late 1st rounder this year and you have a haul that will make a real difference in a rebuild.

The past month has seen some tremendous NCAA performances, from Porter Martone's dominance to William Horcoff's insane goalscoring run. We break down four big risers, including Max Plante and Dakoda Rhéaume-Mullen, alongside the steady stock of L.J. Mooney and the down-trending performances of Benjamin Kevan.

With a goaltending crisis, the Habs turned to professional rookie Jacob Fowler, who delivered on high expectations with a standout debut performance, shutting down Sidney Crosby & the Pittsburgh Penguins. He's seen as the heir apparent in the crease, but is the future here already? He wasn't the only rookie to shine in this game however, as the Penguins' kid line, led by 18-year-old Benjamin Kindel played a disruptive and high-pace brand of hockey. The two other Habs call-ups delivered solid performances, too, as Owen Beck and Adam Engström left their marks on the game.

The World Junior Championships are under a month away and the Team Sweden training camp roster has been officialized, so we try our hand at predicting the lines and pairings. The top line will be among the tournament's most potent, featuring draft-eligible starlet Ivar Stenberg and high-motor dynamo Victor Eklund flanking the Chicago Blackhawks' third overall pick, Anton Frondell. On defence, there's plenty of mobility and defensive ability, but is unique for its lack of a single right-shot blueliner. In a year with a stacked Team Canada and a USA team vying the three-peat, the challenge is a big one, but Sweden has the skill to upset the North American giants.

Line Predictions

Stenberg - Frondell - Eklund

Pettersson - Gästrin - Viggo Björck

Genborg - Eriksson - Berglund

The World Junior Championships are under a month away and the Team Canada training camp roster has just been officialized, so we try our hand at predicting the lines and pairings. Elite talents will be left at home at forward as there are just too many names to choose from, and will be led by Gavin McKenna, Michael Misa, and Porter Martone. On defence, Zayne Parekh will lead the charge offensively, while draft-eligible Keaton Verhoeff and Carson Carels made the cut. In net, Carter George will almost certainly get the reins following dominant displays at the world juniors last year and the U18s the year prior. We break down our tournament predictions, too, as Team Canada's talent is so strong, anything but Gold will be a disappointment.

Roster Link: https://www.tsn.ca/hockey-canada/article/canada-unveils-2026-world-junior-training-camp-roster/

Line Predictions

McKenna - Misa - Martone

Martin - O’Brien - Iginla

O’Reilly, Cootes

The World Junior Championships are under a month away and the rosters have been announced, so we try our hand at predicting the lines and pairings. Elite talents will be left at home due to the breadth of American talent, but we can bank on big performances from the likes of James Hagens, Cole Eiserman, and Cole Hutson. Netminding may be the Achilles heel, but the overall skill and variety in the lineup should ensure a podium finish, but can they upset Team Canada once again?
