Did you watch him in the Gold medal Final game ? He was spectacular, and made the save of the tournament. Came up 1 goal short in their effort, but Sorokin was spectacular.
I made no comment on the quality of his play, but simply on how tiny of a sample size you were using for your claim. Narrowing the sample size further down to just one game doesn't exactly make it seem better.
You can be wowed by someone in 1 game , in 3 games, etc. it’s all subjective and personal. Hence I was wowed by Sorokin in his WJC experience.

Forward Brad Lambert, a potential top-5 pick in the 2022 NHL Draft who represented Finland at the 2021 WJC, said Raty will prove to everyone why he should have been selected higher in the 2021 draft.
"He's unbelievable with the puck, has got great hands ... his playmaking is unbelievable," Lambert said "I believe last year he really didn't get the opportunity. But, for real, he should have gone in the top 10 of this draft. I mean, he's an unbelievable player who just didn't get the opportunity last year."

Yes, I understand that, but what is being discussed here is how much stock to put into a small sample size, especially just one game. If your subjective and personal determination is that drawing conclusions based on one game is valid, by all means keep doing so. Personally, I think it makes sense to put more stock in how a prospect plays over notably larger sample sizes than that.

"Aatu Raty is on a mission to prove that he's one of the best players in the 2021 NHL Draft despite being selected in the second round."
Uh oh. Didn't work out so well last time we had a guy say something like that....

Stop it. You know if JHS woke up on time he’d be better than McDavid

Yes. He’s a top5 prospect for next draft!

The kid is wicked good, too.
Was already the fastest and most net-orientated guy on Finland's WJC roster this past winter.
When it comes to Räty, one thing I have NO WORRIES about is him being anything close to a Kabanov or Ho-Sang.
No-one in the scouting community has doubted that he'd at least be an NHLer for lower lines. There's no doubt about his work ethic and dedication. In fact, he apparently overdid it by spending too much time in the gym, both before and during the season, which is believed to have had an effect on his on-ice play.
Coming into this season, everyone thought he'd continue being an offensively dominating player and that wasn't the case at any time this season. He just wasn't "sexy" anymore. But he was playing in the men's league for one of the very competitive teams in the league and all they had for him was a very minimal lower line role.
From an offensive standpoint, he probably would have been better-served playing in an all-situation role for a 2nd league (Mestis) team, but the big club needed him for the smaller roles.

This McKeen's columnist and analyst watches the USHL closer than anyone.
He did tag on the correction that Berg is from North Dakota, not Texas.

It’s weird as usually pronman loves guys who are really good skaters and give a good skill level. Malinen seems like a prospect he would like.

I don't know if I'm crazy or being bias, but I have a really good feeling about this draft. No I haven't watched these guys play (except Raty), but everything I'm reading seems pretty encouraging on guys like Liukas and Berg, even Lennox.

I really like Malinen the most. If he can become a shut down defenseman, then that's massive. That's also back to back drafts where the Isles have drafted Finnish defensemen, and one has already become a part of team Finland for the world juniors as well
