Episode Details

Byron Bader of Hockey Prospecting joins the show to break down one of the most interesting players in the 2026 NHL Draft class: Viggo Björck. Where should he actually rank in this draft? Byron currently has Viggo ranked 10th on his board, but is that too low for a player already producing against men in Sweden’s SHL?

The boys dive into Björck’s upside, hockey IQ, offensive ceiling, NHL projection and why scouts seem split on where he belongs in the draft. Is he a future top-line center? Could he sneak into the top 5? Or are there legitimate concerns keeping him outside that elite tier?

Plus, Byron explains what his model sees in Björck compared to other top prospects in the 2026 class and why this may be one of the toughest rankings in the entire draft.
