DeltaSwede Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 9 hours ago, SvenBae said: Puljujarvi and Laine for Finland are pretty big as well. Finland are really interesting, I'm watching the Finland v. Slovakia game right now and on paper I think they have the strongest team in this years tournament but it's just not coming together. Puljujarvi, Laine, and Rantanen (Colorado pick) are all so similar. Similar size (huge), skilled, with fantastic releases and the combination of the three is really intimidating. Sebastian Aho (Carolina pick) has probably been the best player of the tournament so far. From my limited viewings, Canuck fans should be really happy if they end up with either Laine or Puljujarvi, I'd pick Laine first. On Boeser: First game, very solid, second game? kinda invisible. I don't value the play in this tournament very highly because it's such a small number of games over a short period of time but you can't deny the talent that he possesses. Very happy with the pick, I think he will be a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwags Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Why do people use the World Juniors as a standard for prospects? They're playing against others with nearly the same skill level. It's not exactly an opportunity to up their game.

I would think that it would be a more accurate way of evaluation than them playing against lesser players or players with more development under their belts. I'm sure Boeser would look stupid playing against the predators D core. I'm sure he would look great playing against a ball hockey team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I mean is if we are to judge a single based on their performance in the WJs so far, then all other players in this tournament who are struggling should be judged equally.

Just saw Boeser has 0 points in 2 games. If we apply that same logic, Boeser was a bad choice and will be a bust based off of 2 WJC games and as such we need to fire GMJB and Linden. Am I evaluating our prospects right? Wish we could have a WJC star like Hodgson or Schroeder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowardrobertford Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 ^ I don't know where He's been silent and looked slow though, skating may be a big problem, though positionally he's in the right places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
