CHL and Hockey Canada bet on Yager, gave him all the credit. Even if he went through a tough selection camp, they gave him "A". I wish he had given broadcasters more to say, rather than just repeating his title. Although he is rookie of the year, the other candidates are no worse.
But he definitely has high potential and will be fine.
Yeah 100%, a quiet couple camp games doesn’t mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. But past hype is just that, he’ll have to earn it going forward like everyone else. Is he a top 10-15 guy for this draft in your eyes? Him or Heidt?

No Peddle, and Dragicevic are the big surprises for me.
Watching the first scrimmage, I was like okay Peddle is going to go in the first round of the draft. Was quieter in game 2 but still was solid. I think he’ll have a big year in Drummondville
 
Dylan MacKinnon over Dragicevic is the only real surprise for me
Agreed, I didn’t mind MacKinnon in the camp and he certainly is a good prospect in his own right, but I do think Dragicevic was a bit better. Although looking back to the sprint U18’s, even though he was an underager, Dragicevic did struggle there at times with pace and had some costly turnovers that may have stuck in the memory of the HC brass. But I think with a good year ahead he is still a top 50 prospect for this draft. As Brock stated on Twitter, Tomasino was cut in his draft year and still went on to be a first round pick

At this point, if anyone says Yager won't be top10, everyone else will say he is crazy. Yager has potential, but I can't give you a certain answer now.
First of all, a year can change a lot. Last summer, for example, no one thought Wright was not 1OA. Secondly, I don't know enough about him and his peers, especially Swedish or Finnish players. Also, I'm a Rockets fan and my assessment may be biased, as you know Cristall competed with Yager for Rookie of the Year last year
 
So apparently they held a selection camp for the Swedish team this week. The Hlinka roster was selected two days ago and yesterday that team played a 60 min scrimmage against the kids who got cut.

Result? 6-0 in favour of the guys who won’t be going to the Hlinka. They dominated from start to finish…….

I hope thats not true...there are players on the blue team that should be on the final team.

Nice that Sweden is sending their B team.

Hi, where have u seen the hlinka roster?
 
Ok i have seen yellow team. Its not a bad team. They should have won with 6-0 instead of losing with 6-0. The yellow team had the most shots.
 
Ståhlberg missing.. Anyway im happy Stenberg and Lindstein Will play as they are the best in this age group.

Dower Nilsson - Stenberg - Nordh
Forsfjäll - Carlsson - Sagranden
Johansson - Edstrom - Pettersson
Kangas - Kling - Sagadin

Lindstein - Landén
Bergström - Sandin Pelikka
Nilsson - Willander
 
Sounds like there won’t be a stream for Finland-Czechia on the 31st, and Slovaki-Sweden on the 1st. The pre tournament games also won’t be broadcasted apparently
 
Splitting this with Canada and putting Gretzky name on it ruined the Hlinka Cup. They don't seem to even stream these matches and if they do theyll propably just be Canada games. Utter bollocks. Tourney should have stayed in Czechia/Slovakia forever

I don't know if it was ruined or not but I wish it had stayed where it was. I also don't like the Gretzky part of the name either. We have enough events in Canada and Hockey Canada obviously doesn't need any more money. Let other hockey fans enjoy the competition. It only helps the game.
