Every time I've watched him he's been the best player on the ice by a country mile. As surefire as it gets....
Would be a great year to add a blue chip defensemanHa! If the Kings pick top-10 again next year and can somehow snag one of the high-end defensemen (Clarke, Edvinsson, Power, Lambos, Hughes) they'll have one of the most ridiculous prospect pools in recent memory.
Between Power, Clarke, Johnson, Hughes, Lambos, Edvinsson, and Räty, they’ll have some great options. I’m excited to see what their team makeup looks like.I hope he's the first ever draft pick of the Seattle Kraken. Would be amazing for Seattle to build their blue line around this guy.
Maybe keep him at Michigan and hopefully the Kraken get Shane Wright too. Hoping Seattle gets a good beginning in the NHL.
I agree adding Owen Power along with Byfield and Kaliyev would be scary for the rest of the league.LA kings get him and you can guarantee another couple cups
this isn’t a cut and dry situation, that’s for sure. Power could miss a lot of games, with no guarantee of playing even if makes the team. Glad I’m not the one making the decision.
Was a 2nd round pick in the OHL, Flint. He's from MississaugaCan he go to the Q? or Does a WHL team own his rights? Seems like an easy decision to leave school for a player thats guarnateed to play in the NHL.
Ahh too bad for him, Lisa Macleod for the win. I wonder if she is going to try and disallow contact NHL games in Toronto and Ottawa too.Was a 2nd round pick in the OHL, Flint. He's from Mississauga

Good point! The NHL is going to have some tough decisions to make come draft time if players dont get enough games in.The issue is he needs game action in his draft year. If he goes, he’s gone for 51 days. If he makes the team, but is a scratch every night, is that best for his career? I’m honestly not sure. It’s a bad situation.
Why can’t he play for Michigan and his place for the team be assessed separately? If he makes the team, he can join the team a few days before.

There's a very good chance Power wouldn't make this year's team anyway. I see some posters penciling him in the top four and I don't see it.
Team Canada is having a bubble for tryouts. It starts at the end of the month. He could be away from Michigan for 51 days, and then he would have to quarantine when he got back into the States.
Because he is no where near a lock to make the team that's why. He would have to go and earn a spot and if he misses the entire camp how is that fair to add him? I wouldn't be surprised if a few players turn down the chance to play at WJC and instead stay and play NCAA based on the schedules. With the quarantine restrictions, players could miss a massive chunk of their already shortened NCAA season. Add on 14 day quarantine on the front end of the tournament then 14 days at the end when they return to school and the tournament and kids could be missing 40+ days of school/games. You could make the case a 4th liner or 3rd goalie would be better suited to stay at school and play rather than waste an already shortened season to get a few shifts over 5 games in 40 days. Thats not ideal development in a strange year. Lets not forget the rosters are larger too....
I think they said it'll be a 2-3 days instead of 14. The whole restrictions when entering countries/provinces/states to begin with are ridiculous. It puts these kids in such a terrible position for no real risk to their health. I don't know which players will choose to do what, but this is going to be something thats going to need to be figured out not just for this tournament but also for the NHL.

I wonder how the 21 Dman class will match up historically with the Dmen in the 18 draft class?
Also for my money Brandt Clarke is the frontrunner right now.
