OT: Wild Child of the world's U20

[Sweetnut]

Time for the 2025 World Junior Championship to kick off, this time in Ottawa.
There is a couple of interesting undrafted guys to keep an eye on, Jamiro Reber is the next Fiala in Team Switzerland.
Sweden has the puck-moving, mobile D-man Wilhelm Hallquisth, not the biggest guy but a big talent.

But which one of the Wild prospects will score the most?

Better be Zeev or that would be really disappointing

 

[TaLoN]

Buium

 

[P10p]

Could see it being Kivi as a lot should run through him. Voted Zeev as the safe bet though!

 

[BagHead]

The smart money's on Buium, so I voted Kiviharju.

 

[Puhis]

Kumpulainen, just for shits and giggles. Should be playing in 1st or at least 2nd line, and might rack up some serious damage vs. Germany & Latvia. We'll see how he does against tougher opposition and whether Finland will even make it to semis this year. In any case, I wouldn't be too disappointed if it ends up him, given position, age, size, and all that.

best guess buium , he'll be a man among boyz.

If the US power play clicks, it'll be Buium by landslide. If not, probably Kump.

Zeev with the dumb over the glass penalty, PK instantly scored on.

Zeev with the dumb over the glass penalty, PK instantly scored on.

He'll fit in perfectly on our team.

 

[GordieGallant]

Buium and Augustine pretty meh in game #1.
Hutson and Sandy-Pelican look much better.

LOL 10 goals and Buium got zero points.

 

[Jbcraig1883]

Kivi with two solid breakouts with smart/accurate passes thus far. Definitely looks poised and brings some stability back there.
