this is something that bothers the crap out of me....the guy has 6 goals in this tournament and is labeled as a "useful player"....hes SECOND in the whole tournament in goals while being injured, that seems more then just useful

Pesan confirmed to Czech media he was invited to the Rangers prospect camp
I'm pretty sure he was there but I can't find anything confirming he was
He was there.

Aside from the game against Canada, this was very good tournament for us. We were able to keep up with very talented USA, Finland, Sweden teams which was not the case in recent years. It was really nice to see and just a confirmation that very good U18 WCH was not just a fluke and we have some really solid young players there.

I think both teams can be compared to Finland 2-3 years ago to an extent. They have some really talented players but the big contributor to their success is the discipline

In my opinion, yes. Czechs are producing some really good prospects lately ( Chytil, Necas, Zadina, but you can also count Pastrnak) and they seem to be on the right track ( regarding development of players) again. We (Slovakia) do not have a prospect near as good as those mentioned above. Also, this team consisted of 1998,1999- born players and these age groups (mostly '99) are considered as the best we produced in quite some time. Unfortunately, from what I read, there does not seem to be positive trend and 2000- born and younger kids do not look very promising. So to sum it up, I think Czechs will continue to do well but I would be surprised if we performed as good as in 2018 beyond next year.
Czechs should be a favorite next year. 11 of these kids returning next year

Thats all it said about Andersson. It was small write-ups on a bunch of players for that day. Andersson was part of the section of Sweden's three best players at the tournament, which he was named to. He was recapping the play of those three players.

Czhec's have zero shots in over 10 minuets of play but the coach wont put Chytil with good players. Great idea.

Yeah, it's great for them that all their top players would be eligible to play next year.

I knew Chytil and Zadina would be eligible next year, but didn't realize Necas will be as well. That's terrifying. Of course, some combination of them will probably be in the NHL.
Why? Derek Stepan led the entire tournament in points in 2010 and he's topped out as a useful two-way center.

Al Swearengen
That's mainly because of his skating. That said if he was a really good skater, there's no way he's a second round pick.

It's really unfortunate that this game starts at 8. Work ends at 8pm, which means I won't be home until 9:30-10, so I'll basically miss the entire game lol.

Words. The only problem is that "useful two-way center" doesn't really mean anything because it can mean very different things to different people.
Stepan is much more than just "useful" in my eyes. Hoping Lias is as well.

Some good looks for Sweden. I think they should try putting Andersson with Pettersson instead of Nylander
