Gal is has impressed me more and he’s much more noticeable
Here are my thoughts.

Galvas is a very good puck-mover, but a bit small. He has very good hockey IQ as well, and good vision.

I really like Voerhoff's game, but I don't foresee big offensive impact from him. He's not an elite puck-mover. Based on what I saw in this tourney, I'd love to have him, but not as a TOP5 pick.

I'm very curious to know what others see in Voerhoff.
I’ll take Carels all day long over Verhoeff
Carels does seem pretty good.

What do you think of Alberts Smits and Chase Reid? If I had to pick, I think I would take Reid as my TOP5 pick.

Bad penalty by McKenna who, frankly, has been very unnoticeable tonight

Agreed. McKenna is only worth about 50% of his hype. :)

Jiri looks more confident stick handling the puck than almost everybody on the Blues

That was cool. Czechs can play. One thing these kids have is boundless energy.

I’m so thankful to get to watch these games on the NHL network. This is such a great tournament, I’ve been following it since the mid 80s

Carbonneau would have contributed more than both Misa and McKenna I think. :)

For instance say Zayne Pareyk played in all 40 ish games for Calgary and was putting up ROY numbers. At that point he should only be eligible for 4 nations or olynipics
Gotcha!
