‘There was no question that Power was ready to play against men. Power was one of Canada’s best players at the 2021 men’s World Championship, leading Canada to an unexpected gold after starting off slow. Power was in more of a depth role at the start but forced coach Gerard Gallant to utilize him more in bigger moments. He then played a big role for Canada at the Winter Olympic Games in Beijing before an early exit. Both times, Power showed why he was one of the best prospects in the game, and had he really wanted to, he could have made the immediate jump to the NHL with Buffalo for his rookie season.’
