Sekeres & Price Show · Craig Button: Another set of twins for the Canucks? Breaking down the final Craigslist before the Draft. · 23 Jun 2026 podcast

But Mathis Preston, who had an up and down season, largely due in part to some injury, is that this is a very gifted, very talented player.

And a team could be sitting there going, well, we think he's as good and we might be able to get him in picks somewhere in the 20s.

And so now, like Ottawa.

So Ottawa could sit down and I use that and they could say, well, we'll trade the ninth pick.

And we'll get another pick.

We'll just pick a team.

The Calgary says we want to move from 30 to 9 to get something extra, right?

And they go, well, we're going to get Mathis Preston, who we really think highly of, who's really skilled.

And I think that that goes on.

But I think this draft has a number of players like him.

And whether it be Mathis Preston or Nikita Klepov or Igor Shilov or, you know, Wyatt Cullen, there's players that we may not be talking about in the top end of the draft.

the teams are going, we think they're every bit as good as this player.

I worked with Les Jackson for a long time.

And one of the things I learned from Les was that we talk about a player.

So let's just say, like, well, we really like Blake Price.

You know, he fits a lot of things.

And Les would go, well...

could we not get a very similar player in Matt Sikaris in the second round?

You know, he might not have the same notoriety, but we might be able to get the same player in Matt Sikaris.

So it's that type of thinking that prevails.
