Pimp C Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 No, not really. 2013 pick Nic Petan at least has shown some noteworthy skill in this tournament, even 5-on-5. Showed some drive and determination. Didn't dive embarrassingly. Not sure if this performance will translate to the pros, but you have to at least admire the effort. Last U20 he scored some goals as well, but also took some dumb penalties. Anthony Mantha easily was the most dominant Canadian player of that tournament though. Solid pick there by Detroit. I think you mean Lazar. He was Canada's best player. Mantha got most of his points on the pp against crappy teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimp C Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Posted this in the Virtanen thread, before realizing this thread existed What do you think about alex tuch? I had him rated just outside the top 10 before the draft and he has only impressed since being drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bure_Pavel Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ritchie looked good on the fourth line for Canada, set up a couple chances tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanTSN Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yup. Tuch can play a style that makes him useful on a scoring line. Ritchie can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonberries Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Ehlers was my choice, but I've been pleasantly surprised by Virtanen. Just hoping for the best now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
