In this episode, we look at five USHL prospects whose stocks have shifted over the past two months. First, we look at Václav Nestrašil (2025) and Will Zellers (COL) who have been heating up as of late, catching fans' and scouts' eyes alike. Next, we check in with Charlie Trethewey (2025) and Adam Benák (2025) who have found more consistency in more simple roles as of late, steadying their stocks and setting them up to push up boards in the coming months. Finally, we wrap up the show by diving into Ivan Ryabkin's case, as the previous top-5 contender has fallen outside many first round rankings, including our own.

In this episode, we continue our weekly episode accompanying our article series at Elite Prospects: Rinkside Roundup, where we break down the performances and progressions of the week's top-performing prospects. First, we take a look at Ivan Demidov who has excelled since seeing consistent top-six minutes in the KHL and could be a key piece for the Habs as soon as this Fall. Next, we look at Anton Frondell and Marco Kasper, two forwards who have gotten increased opportunities and run with the occasion. Finally, we wrap up the show by breaking down the past week's performances of Ville Koivunen and Victor Söderström.
