Elias is actually keeping up quite good with Stütztle and Peterka. Obviously he doesn’t stand out just as much but I think he’s got decent talent.

If he keeps up this play in this tournament, it'll be interesting to see if some NHL teams make a couple more trips to Germany to take a second look at him (assuming this COVID thing gets cleared up and hockey games come back again).

Hockey is back in Germany already, without fans though. So they might as well watch from home. :D

I think he might take a more twisted path like Kahun. Maybe stayed in the lower German leagues for too long.

Doubt it. A few years ago Dominik Kahun was a force together with Draisaitl at the World Juniors, but scouts didn't seem to care.
 
I feel like with guys like Peterka und Stützle you can really tell that they played in a mens league for a year. Even compared to similar skilled Canadian/US players you notice a difference in style in my opinion. They dont really play that pure and raw junior game anymore

Hmm you think so?
Quite honestly I think the German team plays a brand of hockey no mens league coach would be happy with, Stützle and Peterka included. Extremely high event hockey is more junior hockey than pro style of hockey in my book.

The Slovaks game vs Canada or Czechs game vs Russia that is what I'd call pro style hockey, disciplined, structured.
