I can't remember who, but IIRC, someone younger than Barkov has participated the WJC.

A quick google search provided this. No idea if it was correct (or has changed), but certainly passes the smell test on the Canadian side anyway:

- Bobby Carpenter was 15yrs and 5 months 13 days when he was named to the United States team in the 1979 tournament.

- Jay Bouwmeester is the youngest Canadian at 16 yrs 2 months 29 days when he suited up for the 2000 tournament

- Eric Lindros is the youngest to win the gold medal at 16 yrs 10mos 7 days

Meh, he probably won't even be the youngest player of the tournament.

I believe he is the youngest to score a goal. Or at least, youngest Canadian.

Paajarvi was 16 years 8 months old when he played his first WJC. Hes gotta be the youngest since Bouwmeester

You cannot be born before January 1, 1992.

I think they mean what is the youngest a player can be.

Crosby was invited to the camp in 2000 when he was 13, but he was a final cut

Looking it up, he played in the U20 as a 15 year old (he is born in February, so he turned 16 after the tournament).
