Julien was alright I thought, he kinda lacks discipline. Why weren't guys like Chychrun, Brown and Benson there?Who liked Gauthier in the games this week so far?

Actual the Bracco (#61) pick came by Leafs trading back from #24 to #29 passing on Travis Konecny (whom Philly traded up to get), then the Leafs trading back a 2nd time from #29 to #34 (Dermott) to get the pick to draft Martins Dzierkals with the 3rd rounder obtained, while passing on Nick Merkley.
It looks like the first trade back while Konecny is a real good player that Dermott + Bracco might be better combined because Jeremy might be a player. However I'm still doubting the 2nd trade back as Dzierkals will need to be a player otherwise its Merkley verses Dermott straight up and Travis will have to hit big to offset Merkley.
All 3 of Konecny, Merkely and Dermott were good in this tournament, increasing their odds of making the WJC, so we will have to see how this all works out for the Leafs down the road.

Ha never mind Strome and Hanifan how about those pushing Barzal. I think its pretty obvious that Marner is on a completely different level. He was stuck playing both of these games with guys who should be 4th line checkers. Stephens and Crouse are not smart enough, quick enough or skilled enough to complement Marner. Marner with Merkley and or Fabbri would be a treat. Love Merkleys skill and compete. He has passed Barzal at this point IMHO. The points also some of those guys played 3 games.
Oh and did anyone once even think wow Marner looks small out there?
Chychrun is hurt currently, Logan Brown is duel citizen and may be committed to the USA team (being USA born) and Tyler Benson is with Team Canada at the U-18 playing in the upcoming Ivan Hlinka tounament.
Julien was the only 2016 draft eligible player invited to the team Canada WJC tryout camp.
Some of these players however might be in consideration for final team based on their season prior to selection camp.
