This week, Chris and Cam break down the surprising decision by the Boston Bruins to start their top prospect in the AHL as opposed to getting him under NHL contract right away. The two also discuss the potential benefits and risks of the decision and why players are getting their way more often than not. Elsewhere, the Called Up hosts break down some of the players and series to watch as the playoffs begin in the OHL, QMJHL and WHL. Find out which players can really prove themselves and which first-round matchups bring the most intrigue. Cam and Chris also talk about the rule allowing 19-year-olds to come into the AHL starting next season as the NHL modifies its transfer agreement with the CHL. There is a lot to break down. Lastly, don't miss our regular segments including Beyond Belief and You Have To Pick One.
