It’s a short tournament & a single game knockouts in the medal rounds so that’s still hard to navigate around for anybody. But USA couldn’t let this opportunity slip away. Beyond having the most talented team in the tournament by a fair margin. They also had about as favorable of schedule/pool I think I’ve ever seen for them (thanks to no Russia). Your first five games were Norway, Switzerland, Czechia, Slovakia, & Latvia before they took on Finland & Sweden in the final two games of their tournament.

Gauthier is the Robert Hagg of Amer

Not even going to answer that cus that was never in question with what I was saying. I simply stated he was invisible that game (until the goal) and it was a fact. Everyone has these types of games. Posters here are just keeping the expectations in check….as we are so often disappointed as flyer fans. Provorov, Patrick, etc.

fair enough...Patrick was disappointing...Provorov was good value for the pick imo he just plateaued early and never took that last step to be a consistent top pairing dman.. Think the situation with the team hurt his development and he progressively was declining but heh its over we moved on...his attitude which is something no poster is aware of seems to have been proven as a problem .... hopefully Cutter isn't like that because his skill set, and his continuous improvement are things to get excited about but until it happens, he's still just a prospect.

They’ll probably lose a few to the NHL but could potentially add Cole Eiserman & James Hagens.

I am surprised more countries especially the smaller ones don’t try and mimic the USA National development program.

I just finished the gold medal game. Let me know if anyone needs any definitive evaluations. I haven’t watched a full hockey game in 2 months, so I was extra focused.

What do you think of Zeev?

Russia and Slovakia tried it and it flopped. Canada will never do it with the CHL and they probably have too big of a player pool to accurately pick the best 15-16 year olds.

Maybe Sweden or Finland could pull it off but the pro teams probably have a bigger say. It'll probably just be unique to the Americans.

When was this?

Rubtsov's draft year lol. The doping thing didn't help either.

Slovakia's hung around longer than I thought but the only really produced Cernak who spent time in the CHL. They are producing better prospects now that it stopped.

Belarus has one too. I forgot about them. Fair success I guess, but hard to tell if it's the program or just a bit of a golden generation.

Were all the kids polished and a finished product like they should be as teenagers?

Only if they scored points.

Pretty good try there.

Do you guys think that after Gauthier's season is over, he will not only sign but also play in this season with the Flyers? Is that realistic scenario?

If not, then for the next season he has to be with the Flyers from the start, right?

He'll join the Flyers right after the season unless BC goes all the way to the Frozen Four final (there's only one regular season game after that, would be a tough squeeze but not impossible).

Can we criticize him now?

 

[Curufinwe]

Well, we’ll always have this thread

Hands down best prospect we've had since Claude.

'Had' being the operative word.

If only you could see the posts I typed up but decided to keep in the drafts.

A year from now is Gauthier in the AHL after getting on Torts’ bad side?

Can't happen now lol

Charlie really needs to calm down on the hype for his golden boys after the Noah Cates fiasco.

I tried to warn him
