Power has looked very good for Canada this tournament. Hopefully is ready for a jump next season.

Wyatt Johnson is a good example of drafting being an imperfect science. He was a talented minor player putting up 94 points as a minor midget in the GTHL. Then his first season in Windsor he only puts up 32 points in 50 games before Covid shut down his season. Nill took the chance on him and he comes back the next year and leads all of junior hockey with 124 points in 64 games and leads the O in playoff scoring. He has never looked back. But for every talented kid that makes a jump like that there are dozens that never make the jump. I would say on the whole Nill and Dallas has done better than any team with its drafting the past 3+ years.

Someone on Reddit did this. A current Sabres lineup made up of only players the team drafted.

Really interested to see how Keefe does in NJ. They are kind of built like the Leafs. Not as top heavy up front. See if he can get them over the hump. He's going to have the same goaltending nightmares there as in Toronto until they pull the trigger on a starter.

Who do you think they are? I can see Demidov going 2 I think talent wise he deserves to go there but I can see teams being dumb liike every year and he drops a few spots.

There was no way Granato could be brought back. Yes Ruff was the low hanging fruit for Adams but Granato was gone regardless. Granato back behind the bench meant 8000 people in the stands. They knew that.

Which is why he is unemployed

Trades are where you add impact players to your lineup. UFA is for rounding out the corners.

Ruff has always liked to have a guy who can drop the gloves that can be shuffled in and out of the lineup. I think one of the 4th line/13th forward roles will be filled by such a player.

Cozens scores shorthanded in OT to win it for Canada. 2 more goals today. on 🔥

Hagel scores to make it 3-1 Canada. Not even offering Hagel an entry level deal is such a disgrace. He is exactly what they need, an all compete, all effort guy who produces points

You’ll never guess who scored in the PP for Canada😁

Cozens scores again and gives it to the Swiss fans. Love it! 6 goals in 5 games

Murray drafted Nylander

Christ Fiala almost ends Cozens next season. Thank God he looks alright. That was brutal

Cozens with a goal in 5 straight games. Keep scoring kid.

Much like Andersen in Carolina, I have no trust in Skinner as the Oilers goalie in the playoffs

I am guessing Keefe ends up in NJ if he wants it or his buddy Dubas brings him to Pittsburgh and cuts Sullivan loose who ends up in NJ.

Power to Cozens earlier now Cozens to Power. Byram got thrown out for a slash.

Cozens scores again for Canada. Good to see. He’s a very good player who had a rough year.

After Celebrini at 1 there seems to be absolutely no consensus on where the top 15 or so guys will be taken. This will be a fascinating first round.
