Episode Details

Washington Capitals GM Chris Patrick may consider trading up for a top prospect in the upcoming NHL draft, but Ethan Belchetz could be a smart pick at sixteen. This 18-year-old, 62, 227-pound winger from Oakville, Ontario, has impressed with 84 points in 34 junior games and 97 points in 2 years in the OHL. Scouts compare him to Tom Wilson and Matthew Tkachuk, ranking him among the top North American skaters. Belchetzs size and scoring punch could fill a gap in Washingtons lineup, and he could learn from veteran enforcer Wilson, setting up a seamless transition as the Caps build for the future.
