Rebooting myself
Which players in the junior championships(non drafted) will you guy be keeping an eye on

For me its
RNH, Yakapov, Zharkov, Musil, Reider and draft eligibles
McKinnon, Drouin, Jones, Barkov, Lindholm and Monahan, mind you some of the draft eligible kids might not make the team.
I really like Shinkaruk. I doubt we'll draft high enough to grab him though.
Elias Lindholm. I wish I saw paajarvi pull the stuff this kid is doing. This kid is a stud. Vision. Hands. Grit. Shot. Skating. Watch the video, I'm sure you will be impressed!
You should probably take a look at Mags' pre-draft highlight clips....
Assuming there is no season, the Oilers are likely drafting in the 20-30 range. Hopefully, there's a big skilled centre out there who can be the 2C down the road.
What players could fit this profile?

I definitely have. I was a big Paajarvi fanboy during his draft year and though he was gonna be sick. Well we all know how that's turning out... Mags didnt have the shot, passing, poise, grit at Lindholms age. There is a reason why people are comparing Lindholm to Forsberg. Lindholm has high hockey IQ. That something Magnus will never have.
I think Barkov is a shoe-in personally. One other Finnish player I'm excited to see if he makes it is Rasmus Ristolainen.
Barkov was good last year as a 16 year old.
I want to watch Yakupov and Nuge rep the Oil, it's rare and should always be rare to witness two 1st overall picks playing in the world juniors.
I want to watch Zharkov, Musil and Rieder as well....should turn heads.
Jenner and Wilson running around and Drouin and Mackinnon should be great. Morgan Rielly is a beast and Burke would definitely want him in a Maple Leafs uniform today.
Barkov looked so poised and impressive when he used both his senses, size and skill to break Crosbys scoring record.
already a shoe-in.
and almost a point a game player in a mens league with great goaltending, should stick out on Finland.
