That's great to hear, it's exactly what we need in the next 2-3 years to speed things up down the road, a 7th rounder piercing the lineup would be amazing.World Junior Summer Showcase Scouting Reports, Standouts From Day 2 - FloHockey

Stiga had a solid u18 tournament back in May, let's hope we don't regret passing on him twice and that Brunicke and Howe develop well.
I love this guy already. Dropped because scouting still over emphasizes size over skill.World Junior Summer Showcase Scouting Reports, Standouts From Day 2 - FloHockey

"Team USA White Lines vs. Sweden
Quentin Musty (SJS) – Carey Terrance (ANA) – Beckett Hendrickson (BOS)
Cole Eiserman (NYI) – LJ Mooney (2025) – Jayson Shaugabay (TBL)
Austin Burnevik (ANA) – Jake Fisher (COL) – Tanner Adams
Teddy Stiga (NSH) – Mac Swanson (PIT) – James Reeder (LAK)
Cole Hutson (MTL) – Aram Minnetian (DAL)
Zach Schulz (NYI) – Gavin McCarthy (BUF)
Colin Ralph (STL) – EJ Emery (NYR)
Matt Mania (LAK)
Carsen Musser (UTA)
Nick Kempf (WSH)
Power Play Units for USA White:
1. Hutson, Eiserman, Musty, Swanson, Reeder""Mac Swanson, C (PIT)
Swanson has shown well in this camp. He’s seeing the ice well and has handled the pace of play especially well. His lack of physical stature hasn’t seemed to hold him back here and he’s being aggressive in hard areas of the ice. He’s probably a long shot to make this team given the quality they have at center, but I do think he’s proven he belongs with this group."

The roster for the Penguins prospects games in Buffalo was released, and 13 out of the 14 forwards are six feet or under in height.

I mean it’s the same thing with the skating. If these guys had size they would have been harder to acquire.
They have to look for guys with flaws and hope they succeed in spite or because of them.

"#7 Mac Swanson, C (Pittsburgh Penguins): When you’re small and invisible, that doesn’t help your stock as a prospect. And yesterday, I felt like Swanson didn’t do a whole lot. I don’t know who talked to him overnight because it felt like watching a whole different player today. Maybe it was the connection with Stiga, who had boundless energy, but Swanson was flying out there and had a few good chances in the slot. He didn’t score, but he had a much better performance on Day 2."
"#6 Kalle Kangas, D (Pittsburgh Penguins): Kangas had a pair of assists to help spark the Finnish comeback effort. It didn’t pay off today, but Kangas had a good first game yesterday, too – he’s seeing the ice really well. He also had a couple of nice blocks on the penalty kill, too. It’s not a bad start to the week for the seventh-round pick in Plymouth."
I can't seem to find the Day 1 report but it's early and I need coffee.

Here's Day 1:

Both Americans teams came out on top as the week-long tournament got underway in Plymouth.

Also, here's Day 3:
2024 World Junior Summer Showcase: Who stood out on Day 3
Jesse Nurmi and Finland handed USA its first loss in Plymouth.
www.dailyfaceoff.com
"#6 Kalle Kangas, D (Pittsburgh Penguins): Kangas again had a pair of assists for the Finns. He was also involved in some physical play and scrums, one specifically near the end of the second period which found him in the box for roughing. Kangas now has four points and is off to a good start at the showcase, which is huge."

Some dude on the international board said he had a really strong two-way game.
Not that anyone should be putting too much stock into summer hockey.

Watching the memorial cup, Yager was noticably involved defensively, unlike the rest of his teammates. He's definitely on the McCann side rather than the Sprong side.
Best thing he could possibly do at this stage right now. Everybody knows he’s got skill and can score, so show off that two-way game a bit more consistently and he’ll make the NHL sooner than we think.
so true, but you should be looking for flaws that can easily overcome. imo
