Draft Videos! or: How I learned to stop worrying and watch the prospects
I don't watch the younger leagues as much as I would like to, so I find myself in the dark on a lot prospects as we get closer to draft day. Like, last year I watched a lot of videos on Honzek, as most of the mock drafts out there at the time had us selecting him. I don't really know who we missed out on other than Bedard (obv.), also I suppose I don't know who we luckily avoided drafting either....
Anyway. I don't know which video channels are peoples' favourites for this type of thing as I'm relatively new to even looking for them. Here are the top 10 prospect videos, according to the running polls that Bingo has been doing. I'm sticking to getting them all from one channel, for easiness and continuity's sake... I don't know that this channel is my 'favourite', but it's one that seemed to pop up in my feed a lot, so I've started it watching it more, and that's made it pop up more... etc etc.
Please feel free to include any videos/channels you like/prefer to use!

Catton.
1 .7 points a game. better than Point and leon the spear draisaitl. Almost a goal a game. Very good skater, high iq, great passer, very good at drawing in defenders, attacks the middle of the ice. Honestly put two inches and 20 pounds on him he goes first overall.

There was a YouTuber a few years ago who did incredible prospect videos. So good in fact he got hired by the Canadiens I think. I miss that guys videos.
DraftPros is a good channel. Fledgling upstart. Kind of got rolling over the previous two years or so.

There's some real nice work out there. You can watch shift by shift videos on certain players. Gives you a good read on the stuff sizzle reels don't cover.
For a lot of Euro and Russian players you have to dig deep.

Damn, watching that Demidov video makes me want that guy more... He reminds me a little of Kucherov with the effortlessness at how he works in the offensive zone.
