Agree ,I probably to exited about Caulfield, but because we drafted Zadina and Rasmussen we better get defenseman or playmaker this draft

Caufield with 2 more. This is getting silly...He's going top 10 for sure in my mind. All he does is score. I see Buffalo or Edmonton taking him at 7 or 8.

Caufield looks like he could be a Kane/ Gaudreau/ DeBrincat style player in the NHL - though I don't know if he will be quite as high end at carrying the puck as those guys. I'm more commenting on his offensive IQ and the innate goal scoring skill.

The confidence and ease in his release is really impressive

I don’t think those guys score goals similarly at all, and I don’t think Caufield can do nearly as much as Kane or Gaudreau.

He’s definitely another DeBrincat, don’t really see anyone else he is similar to IMO.

A young 40 goal scorer? Where do I sign? I would trade down and grab him if Byram is off the board.

I was talking about stylistically, obviously you can’t guarantee he will have the exact same impact just because they are the same size and they play similarly.

There are risks with this player. Candidly I think trading down for him would be a terrible idea. You have to hedge with players like him which is why he won’t go in the top 10 (not even sure top 15).

Newhook can fly for sure... nice heads-up play by Rees to get him the puck.

Heavily relying on you two to do some good scouting today.

Hes definitely helping his draft stock this tournament. Hes dynamic out there. Watching him play with Cozens on the other wing, I think Newhook looks better. Its a small tournament but Cozens isnt having a good tournament. I'm starting to lean away from him but we'll see. I liked him the one time I saw him in the regular season.

The Czechs look surprisingly good today. Canada is going to have to up their game here. They've been a bit sloppy.

That second period was all Canada now though. One of the more dominant priods I've seen in the tourney.

Harley has been underwhelming this tournament. If somebody's out of position, it's probably him.

The exact guy I was coming into this thread to comment on. I dont see it either. He seems like a lot of tools (big, great skater etc) but he makes some bad pinches and weir decisions. I'm flip flopping on Korzcak as well. Hes a guy I've been thinking could be a good pick in the second round but man sometimes his puck skills look pretty weak. Trouble receiving passes and making some odd choices in the offensive end and then another shift he walks the blue line and gets heavy shot through that makes me think he could develop into something pretty solid.

I think if Rees or Tomasino are around in the second still, I wouldnt be happy with a Korzcak pick. I dont want to call him a pitbull but Rees would be awesome to have with Bertuzzi on a different line in the top 6. Tomasino is dynamic and could be a game breaker.

That call on Cozens is one of the more puzzling penalties I've ever seen.

Brutal reffing this entire game. The call on Cozens, the early boarding calls. Sometimes IIHF reffing makes game absolutely horrible to watch

Watching these U18's they really do look like kids... this is why the draft isn't a science. All these players we are salivating over and there will always be overlooked hidden gems. You never know how any of these players will develop..You have to get very lucky to draft a generational player let alone even a star regardless where you are picking.
