I call bull, your saying you have seen all these prospects live? Unless your a scout or your air miles are at 10 billion I highly doubt you've traveled across Canada and over to Sweden.

Not to mention, Scott Mayfield plays in Ohio...Youngstown to be exact. No one in their right mind willfully travels to Youngstown, Ohio. Any American knows this.

Swedish defender Adam Larsson played in Buffalo, NY this year...it is conceivable that he has seen all of them live, but not enough to be a determining factor or these players potential, but who am I to say this, I've only watched them online and on tv.

Yes. If you went to the WJCs, you would have seen Larsson. Maybe 3-4 times. Not enough to get an "expert" opinion. A large number of those kids, did not play at the WJCs. Meaning, you'd literally have to be a professional scout to view them multiple times to travel across the US and Canada. Not likely.
