Team Canada in 20 games would probably be somewhere along the lines of 9-10-1 imo. Probably able to compete, but wouldn't dominate.

It would be a lot worse than 9-10-1. World Junior team would probably go negative vs top college teams. Keep in mind half of a world Junior team end up being busts or play in AHL/Europe. All top AHL players destroyed junior leagues. You have ppg+ players from junior who can't even make AHL teams.


Edit: I think this could change in SOME years where the Canadian team is absolutely stacked, but given an average year they would get destroyed. Aka 2010-2014 Canada teams. I mean Canada isn't even dominating the world Juniors every year, they are losing to teams like Sweden and Russia and Finland. On average they get destroyed by the AHL imo

Junior players would get obliterated physically.

The average AHL team would beat the top WJC teams comfortably, more often than not.

Would they be able to compete for top places?

No, they would be out of the playoff picture.

U20 teams would have several players with broken bones or minor injuries.
