BREAKING: Top NHL Prospects To Be Involved In Massive Blockbuster Trades
Big news in the CHL as insider Jeff Marek spills the beans on the 32 Thoughts podcast about four major trades in the works, involving some top prospects.
«WHL related, but it sounds like Wenatchee will be trading Conor Geekie to Swift Current & Matt Savoie to Moose Jaw. Nate Danielson (to a US-based team?) & Owen Beck (to the Soo?) both likely on the move too,» Marek shared.
These four prospects are cream of the crop in the CHL, all picked high in their drafts. Conor Geekie, the 11th overall pick in 2022, is on fire with 20 goals and 49 points in 26 WHL games. Although second in points for Wenatchee Wild, he's outpacing the first-place prospect.
Matt Savoie, 9th overall in 2022, plays alongside Geekie in Wenatchee. Despite some time on the sidelines due to injury, Savoie has made an impact in 11 WHL games with 11 goals and 24 points, leading in point production.
Nate Danielson, 9th overall in 2023, captains the Brandon Wheat Kings, showcasing a well-balanced game with 25 points in 24 games. While not matching the offensive prowess of Geekie and Savoie, he's touted as one of the most NHL-ready prospects.
Owen Beck, 33rd overall in 2022, narrowly missed the first round but plays like a top-tier talent. With NHL experience and as the lone returnee on Team Canada for the WJC, he's racking up 30 points in 25 games, ready to make waves with his new team.
Currently, all four are rocking it with Team Canada at the WJC but will switch gears to join new franchises for the second half of their season.
