Prospect Info: WJC 2022 part 2: Picking Back Up In August

Dvorsky is 17 though. His draft year start in a month.

It being his 16 years old season doesn't matter as much in August when he played the whole year and got his offseason training in before the tournament.

Some of the players he's playing against, like William Dufour, are 20.5 years old which would never typically happen either. There's still a 3+ year gap with much of his competition at the WJC, that hasn't changed, just been pushed back.

He's a June 2005 birthday, not a late 2004 like Stramel.

At this point, whether we think of what Dach is to Kemell, it's all about potential for either of those 2 guys. And frankly, usually, it's better to bet on potential of a 18 year old than a 21 year old. But if somebody have skills that can turn this around...it's Dach.

Caufield pre-MSL looked worse than Dach now

Yeah...a golden rule of evaluating draft eligible players is to not hold any WJC performance against them as it's a 19 year old tournament. Dvorsky as a 2005 is technically still an underage in this tournament given that 2002s are playing in it.
 
Apparently tickets are $90+ even for tier 3 games like Germany-Austria no wonder the place is empty.

When was the last time the Habs had 2 F playing for Canada at the WJC? Gallagher/Bournival? Chipchura/Latendresse?

It's been a while.

My point was that you still can't really consider it a 16 yo WJC and compare it to actual 16 yo WJC.

Other 16 y/o arent playing against 20 y/o. They play against maximum 19 y/o.

It's the same thing. The 3.5 year gap exists whether the tournament is being held in December, August or 2 years from now. He's a June 2005 playing against early 2002s.

The only argument is QOC as many of the best players aren't available this time of year.

Development isn't linear therefore same gap doesn't mean comparable.
 
Things change quite fast in this tourney. Canada often looks bad and end up winning. But US vs Canada eesh....
