Prospects who break out at the WJC?

[trick9]

Cole>Lane?

Cole makes Lane look like a Lady Byng -contender. He's still leading the nation in PIM's and is much more physical player than Lane to begin with. They both are offensively great D's but digging any deeper than that they are very different types of players.

Cristall

Kiviharju will make a name for himself after losing some luster due to injury.

He looked very ordinary in the first game not sure how he projects at this point.

Demidov breaks out of the WJC...

Maybe next year.......

Ethan gauthier for Canada and Austin burnevik for USA would be my guesses for unsung heroes this year.

Wish I posted this before the games. Thought Gauthier looked great in game 1

Olivers Murnieks​

Omitting a 19 year old player who is scoring at the best pace of any player not named mcdavid (and very close to mcdavid) in like 20 years in the CHL because he had 6 bad games as a 17 year old is ridiculous. He probably would have had like a 20% chance of leading the tournament in scoring. At least bring him as a 13th forward so if the scoring doesn't click with the rest of the team you have another option.

I feel vindicated.

Can I say Cole Hutson?

People are going to realize how good he is. He had a very good draft season, but it didn't go noticed because he had an injury that took him out of commission for a number of months and his stats were a little lower (he got better though and the prior year his stats were unsustainably high). He's stepped into college hockey and been excellent for BU. One of the best freshmen in the country. He'll be one of the best defenseman at the tournament. Can't believe teams were stupid enough to make this mistake a second time.

I've bought some bad lottery tickets, so I'm certainly no Nostradamus, but right now I'm feeling it and I can advise anyone that wants the winning lottery numbers for next week.

It was a good call. Cole was very impressive throughout the tourney.

Agreed. This was the answer.

 

[Beauterham]

Lets just say, as a Blues I'm surprised, but also very happy with Stancl's performance.

 

[Bye Bye Blueston]

Agreed. Stancl was one of biggest breakout stars to me, along with the Finnish goalie and Mateiko on Latvia.
