Started today.

Lots of prospects and potential 1st rounder are on display !!


Many scouts consider this tournament way more valuable than the World Jr Tourny where most players are drafted already.


Cole Caufield just sniped. Assist to Boldy.

2-1 USA over Sweden so far in the 2nd

Great games from Caufield, Boldy and Krebs!
Granted it’s just one game but I do not want Soderstrom or Broberg with our 10th. Soderstrom has too much of a vanilla game and Broberg imo has always been overhyped.

I hope we get Boldy at 10. He'd fit perfectly for us.

I liked Korzack for Canada. Great at defending 1 on 1 & seperating guys from the puck. Id like him at 40 if we could get him.

Im becoming a believer in Newhook, if Boldy isnt there he's one of the guys Id consider. Better skater than Krebs, better shot than Krebs & Zegras.

The 2020 draft eligibles looked good today. Really liked Lucas Raymond alot.

I don't understand anyone who can be concerned with Caufield's skating, kid is electric.

Hits post, next shift scores. 5th goal.

Caufield looks dangerous every shift.

2 Goals and 1 Assist so far vs Slovaks.

Boldy is drool worthy too.

These guys are going to climb.
Podkolzin and Cozens will fall

Boldy or Caufield for myself and Broberg or Söderström if we take a D.
Great year to fall to 10th as we are guaranteed a faller or one of those 4 guys.

Cozens isn't really even a consideration in the top 10 for me.

Podkolzin should go 3 unless he tells people he might never come over or something.

Krebs > Newhook for sure, he can do all the stuff Newhook can do but he's a lot smarter and has more pace to his game in all regards.

Side note. Turcotte looks fantastic too but we have no chance to get him at 10.

Hes a a big feisty dude w. Extreme skill.


Boldy Caufield Krebs have looked absolutely legit but keep in mind this is VS their own age.

I'm really looking more at their skill rather than the result.

Caufield back to back Hat tricks. 9 points in 2 games.

Kid is having a Kucherov level U18's right now.

Dude Caufield is ridiculous.

He’s going top 7 at this rate, despite his size.

Anyone ranked around our position getting hot at the right time is great for us, forces teams to make tougher decisions and opens up some potential fallers.
