Mathews, hasn't played a game in the NHL, and was probably the 3rd best player on a N A under 24 team.

Matthew's stock didn't rise as much as people just caught a first glimpse at him, and liked it.


Marchand? 100% yup. You could argue he was the weakest name named to Canada's roster. Remember all the talk about Kunitz on team Canada? Marchand arguably could have been the equivalent going into the tourney, or at least that's how I felt about it. But he delivered BIG time, and I was super impressed.

Gaudreau? Again, yep. Maybe his stock didn't rise as much as Marchand because it was already high, but still a very strong showing for him.

MacKinnon like Gaudreau had a very strong showing. A lot of people had almost written him off as an elite forward, so this helped restore his status as a star player maybe.

Not sure about others. Or at least, not as much as the above 3 names.
 
Bellemare #1 for me. I originally didn't think he would belong, and would stick out like a sore thumb playing against the best. But he was simply great.

Most of the other players in the tournament were already stars and household names.
 
I'm surprised no one mentioned the Sedins. For how much they get called old and passed their due date, they were still 2 of the 3 best players on their team.
