Prospects Rambling: Sens Hot Prospect Batherson, Dansk Injury and More

Noah Hanifin, other prospect defenders, Strome vs. Marner 1v1 and more.

Hello and welcome to another edition of Prospect Ramblings. I’m your host, Zach Hopkins, as we prepare for the end of the 2014-15 NHL season and move forward to the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Let’s get right down to business!

In fact, if it wasn’t for Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, he would likely be the consensus number one player on the board.
