My impressions from the game today:
It's too bad Barzal doesn't have more talented forwards to play with at the U18, the US have dominated Canada. J. Roy, Chabot, Stephens and Barzal all look impressive. Stephens is definitely going to raise his draft stock from this tournament. Was ranked as a late 4th to start the tournament.
Knott looks like he's playing on a line that's above his pay grade. He's got potential but he's looking like a late 2nd-3rd rounder which is what he was predicted to be.
Harkins is a disappointment I expected more from him but of all the times I've watched him I've never found him to be better than a late 1st-2nd rounder. I question his offensive upside at times.
Spencer and Brisebois are not going to be NHL players, I've never been a fan of them and I'm still not. But I'd consider them in round 4.
Bear and Wotherspoon have looked good, making some nice things happen.
Currently 4-1 US and Canada won't be catching up, this US team is just too skilled and too good. Matthews is just dominating us and just like his play all year long he is showing that he is better than Eichel when he was Matthews age.
