In this episode of The Hockey Writers Prospect Corner, Matthew Zator, Peter Baracchini and Devin Little welcome in Arizona Coyotes credentialed writer and host of the THW Grind Line Patrick Brown to discuss players to watch at the 2022 IIHF U18 World Championship, what the Coyotes might do at the upcoming 2022 NHL Draft, whether Shane Wright would be their choice at first overall and a potential trade involving Jakob Chychrun.

Then they dive into the Coyotes' prospect pool and talk about their top prospect Dylan Guenther, which prospects have improved from the beginning of the season to now, players they are excited to see in the NHL one day, underrated prospects and more.

Before getting into the usual Prospects of the Week segment, they answer questions about J.J. Moser's rise in the NHL after being a second-round pick in 2021, predictions on how many goals Guenther will score in his prime, Josh Doan's ceiling, Karel Vejmelka's potential to be an elite goaltender behind a strong team and more.
