The Frozen Four starts on Thursday!
Top San Jose Sharks prospect Will Smith will be part of it with Boston College.
So we got Cam Robinson from Elite Prospects to talk about Smith. (53:06)
Back during the World Juniors, Robinson tweeted:
Hot take: Gabe Perreault is a better player than Will Smith
And Ryan Leonard is demonstrably better than both.

Does Robinson still think that?
Before Cam, we talk about the San Jose Sharks’ week that was, touching on William Eklund’s hat trick, Devin Cooley’s first win, Collin Graf’s NHL debut, and the Luke Kunin conundrum. We also touch on the Danil Gushchin to KHL rumor. (2:50)
We chat a little about Filip Bystedt’s AHL debut. (26:05)
Keegan shares his takes on what the scouts are saying about the San Jose Sharks’ top-10 prospects. (27:55)
And now, Cam! (53:06)
Does Robinson still think that Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault are better than Smith? (54:00)
We talk about Smith’s strengths and weaknesses. (57:48)
Which San Jose Sharks prospect does Robinson think might be better than Smith? (1:01:45)
What does Robinson think the Sharks see in Smith? (1:04:45)
Who was your pick at #4 if you’re San Jose in 2023? Matvei Michkov and non-Michkov category? (1:09:32)
Why is Cam so high on Quentin Musty? (1:10:57)
Going into the 2024 Draft, if the San Jose Sharks don’t get Macklin Celebrini at No. 1, who should they target at No. 2 or 3? (1:13:55)
Who does Cam like as his top defenseman in this Draft? (1:19:06)
Using Ivan Demidov as the barometer, how would Robinson compare the 2024 and 2023 Drafts?

JD is weeping now. Loves Luca.
Personally I love Cagnoni but I think his ceiling is a 4D that plays the QB role on the 2nd power play. He’s been great in the WHL but he’s going to have to prove it in the AHL for a couple of seasons before we can see him in the NHL
Disappointed to hear about Smith but feeling more excited for Musty.
Perreault was BC leading scorer before he got hurt. Leonard has been their best player recently. Snicker all you want, dweebs, Robinson is not wrong.
