NEW POD EP
This week on The Hockey News on the Q, Will MacLaren and I discuss the league's standings, NHL Central Scouting list, Detroit Red Wings prospects, the Lewiston shooting Adam Johnson.
"Nathan is an extremely complete defenseman who stood out in the NHL for his physical and consistent defensive play," said Kloten team manager Larry Mitchell via Swiss Hockey News.
