[VictorLustig]

Points leader: Sonny Milano
Goalscoring leader: Victor Olofsson
Tournament MVP: Connor McDavid (If he's just among the best he will get it)
Surprise player: Victor Olofsson

So many players I have barely seen play though.

 

[KingJoffrey]

Points leader: Nikolaj Ehlers
Goalscoring leader: Oliver Bjorkstrand
Tournament MVP: Nikolaj Ehlers

Points leader: Nikolaj Ehlers
Goalscoring leader: Oliver Bjorkstrand
Tournament MVP: Nikolaj Ehlers
Surprise player: Roope Hintz
Best 2015 draft player performance: Connor McDavid

I think that is a pretty good prediciton actually. I don't think Ehlers is the best player, but his size compared to under sized forwards will let him pretty well do what he wants on the ice.

I think surprise player for me is Nylander. Not a lot of people talking about him, quiet guy. PPG as the #1 C in SWE

I think he has a big tournament.

 

[SH15]

Points leader: McDavid
Goalscoring leader: Drouin (oh yes sir, healthy scratch tonight!)
Tournament MVP: Drouin
Surprise player: Auston Matthews
Best 2015 draft player performance: McDavid

 

[Kamiccolo]

I personally see mcdavid not being the best player and Eichel out playing him and causing some controversy.

I think Eichel will dominate at the Junior level because he's already dominating the NCAA and there are some much bigger/more mature players in that league.
