The question I have about Sykora is, if his offensive touch doesn't develop enough to be a top 6 NHL player, can he work his way into a Jesper Fast type role.

he has much better hands than Fast and is a much better 2 way forward. He should be a top 9 forward at worst. Sykora has too good of hands for his offense skill to not show up.

Is anyone else scared that Berard might be just another Ryan Bourque? He has not shown much for team USA so far pointwise although the effort is there.

We are going to have 5 Brad Marchards on this team in 3 years.

FWIW, these are the stylistic comparisons that make sense to me:

Will Cuylle : Marcus Foligno
Brett Berard : Brendan Gallagher
Adam Sýkora : Artturi Lehkonen
Brennan Othmann : Kyle Connor
Ryder Korczak : Derick Brassard
Matt Rempe : Adam Lowry
Adam Edström : Pat Maroon

Endstrom has not fought if at all dont see the comparison with Maroon. Rempe Lowry ehh Rempe seems like a Colton Orr over Lowry. Hope Rempe is good on faceoffs. Korczak Brassard is a good one but Brassard is more of a complete type of center. Korczak screams St.Croix to me
Othmann has a lot of grit more than Connor, like Othmann said he has a lot of Tkachuk in him. Sykora has more spunk and agitating that Lehkonen has. Berard I can see being a Gallagher type. I would love if Cuylle can be our Foligno, hopefully he can be a Lucic in his prime days with the Bruins. I think Cuylle can be a 2ed 3rd like power forward. He has offensive skill. He is on team Canada for a reason.

Brennan Othmann is gonna hit about 4 times more and harder than Kyle Connor. Also, did Connor ever willingly fight anybody or even trash talk anybody? Othmann is gonna do this all the time.

Honestly, Kyle Connor is probably one of the softest current NHL players while Othmann was public enemy nr.1 anywhere he played. Othmann is like the ultimate pest while Connor is the exact opposite.

Didn't take him long to get under the Czech's skin. That's what he does. Draws tons of penalties. Hope he's okay after that brutal boarding.

It would be Othmann that Chmelar decides to board. f***ing Rongos. Literally any player on the roster, he goes after Othmann.
