Scouting director Dan Stewart brings us a recap on some of the draft eligible performances, including who helped their stock at the World Juniors.
Quote:
In Russia, there was much to be excited about even if you were there to solely focus on draft eligible talent. The participation of just top prospects Nathan MacKinnon and Seth Jones alone made the frigid temperatures in Ufa worth it.
For my money, the top draft eligible performer at the World Juniors was undoubtedly the Team USA defender who was the second-best defenseman on his squad next to Jacob Trouba, played a strong two-way game and was able to make a deep impression as the U.S. captured gold. Jones gave scouts yet another example of how he could become the next great NHL blueliner and pushed his case for the top selection come next June.
