can you imagine having the opportunity to draft Kakko and being like "nahhhhhh, don't want him"?

Not tanking and getting the lottery anyway seriously broke him.

If it wasn't before, this could be a make of break year for Lias. I agree with Jan, Henriksson looks like he can play. Somebody is going to have to move to wing or they will be traded down the road, it's just a certainty.

he definitely looks like a kid who will be here sooner rather than later

I hope Andersson and Howden are taking notice

I'm not sure who to give the inside track between those two. Howden obviously showed some offense early last year, but Lias has shown he can at least be passable in a bottom 6 role. Of course if guys like Barron and Riley Hughes develop more, maybe both of them are in trouble.

Almost doesn't seem fair the team finishes 2-1 and could potentially finish 6th out of 8 teams. It's only a prospect tournament, looking forward to camp next week.

you were right about him becoming a mythical creature after all this time

what an amazing first impression and he probably wasn't 100% either

I just think Lias is such a bad skater, really sticks out at this level compared to the WJC

I don't get it, they go 2-1 and play for the 5th place game? Aren't there only like 8 teams in this?

They have a weird point structure. Had they won in regulation, they would be playing for the title.

As reported here, word from the Czech Republic is Pavel Zacha and NJ are in agreement on an extension. Not official yet, but headed in that direction

But what did the other teams do? Are there 4 teams at 2-1? Anybody undefeated. Not that hard to see how we could fall in the standings.

When in doubt always take the Antonio Brown method when you want a new contract

Normally, I'd agree with this, but I kinda want to see the guys get more ice time. For a guy like Fox who has been on NA ice before sit him, but Kakko, Kravs, etc need all the time they can get.

So no Fox, Kratsov or Kappo? Do they have healthy scratches for this thing that can fill in?
