Cost Per Pointcast: Draft Debaters Part 3, feat. Scott Wheeler & J.D. Burke

Scott and J.D. debate some of the top defencemen available in the 2019 NHL draft.

It’s less than a week until the 2019 NHL Entry Draft, and on this week’s episode of the Cost Per Pointcast, Scott Wheeler and J.D. Burke join the show to discuss some of their most differently ranked prospects.

You can read J.D.’s work on EP Rinkside, and while we used his April rankings for the episode, he just released his final rankings yesterday. You can read Scott’s work on The Athletic, and for this episode, we used his Top 100 rankings.
