NHL Draft Scout Series: USA

The NHL Draft Scout Series continues today, shifting our focus to the land soon to be ruled by Donald Drumpf.

The Americans not only boast the top prize in this year's draft - Auston Matthews - but have plenty of other homegrown talent to be proud of.

USHL Central Scouting and TheScout.ca's Matt Grainda joins us to discuss the Red, White and Blue prospects eligible for the 2016 NHL Draft.

CR: How would you summarize this crop of American draft eligible players this year? Is it more of a "blue collar" group likely to produce depth and complimentary players as opposed to the superstars - such as Jack Eichel - of years past?
