Exactly. WJC is a great way to judge, but let's be real here:
Elias Pettersson was tearing it up in the SHL, had a mediocre WJC and people were labeling Mittelstadt as the next star. Who is currently leading all rookies in points (by a mile)?
Same with Kravtsov. He leads his KHL team in assists and points, while playing fewer games than the 2 he is tied with, at the age of 18. That's right. A teenager leads his team in points in the KHL! What more proof do you need? Oh, and he's on the 2nd worst scoring team in the league while doing so. Involved in 28% of his team's goals. He could go pointless this entire WJC tournament and still be our best prospect
