Last year was the year of the red, white, and blue. Unfortunately, that’s not the case this year, which isn’t bad whatsoever, stuff like last year is rare, even on Canadian standards. There’s no reason to frown this time around, there are still some magnificent talents to come around out of the USNTDP in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. This time, it’s a healthy mix of some talented TWFs and some solid defencemen.
Enjoy!

Love the vid bro! Couple notes I’d like to add is that when I was working and writing for element hockey I had the pleasure of interviewing Smilanic on skype and he told us that, being a native of Colorado, he really tries to model his game after Nathan MacKinnon. I thought that might explain the quickness of his release and how it is slightly reminiscent of MacKinnon’s. Also switching over to Kleven, I’ve heard that he’s a very hard-nosed, blue collar defenseman who is very reliable in his own end, however, his offensive game is almost nonexistent and that’s why he doesn’t get the love that Sanderson gets. It’s also another reason why he might slip out of the 2nd round get picked up in the 3rd.
started watching your videos after last one about this draft. excited as ever as Ive seen the Ontario crop first hand since their minor midget days so having this video is great.. loving your content 22 minutes of viewing in so keep it up.
Great vid thanks for the update on the USNTDP. Was wondering how this team was since one of the all time great teams are all gone.
I still think the USNTDP shouldn't be a thing because it means that these players are on an all star team and so they can't adapt to the NHL because they are used to facing relatively weak competition
luke tuch 2nd rounder for the habs! 47th overall
Sanderson a possible 2nd rounder he says?? Kid goes 5th overall in the real deal, a bit off there eh?
Both defensemen are now Ottawa senators!
