    the world under 17's were held in my hometown in 2010 and I recall telling my old man that I bet #7 for team ''west'' was gonna be a solid nhl d-man

    Ryan Murray

    their team didnt fare too well in the tourney but he was one of the more enjoyable players to watch.

    But even if they appear to be right now, you still can't say that for sure IMO. Last year, the Top 5 for this current draft, on some sites/magazines, was Couturier, Larsson, Victor Rask, Seth Ambroz, and somebody else, can't remember (probably RNH). Now, Seth Ambroz and Rask are probably not 1st rounder. Point is, a lot changes in a year. I don't see Murray or Galchenyuk dropping like that lol, just saying there's a chance.

    Another guy who is sick is Matt Dumba. He could challenge for the Top 5 as well.

    Then there's Martin Frk, Nick Ebert, Griffin Reinhart, Matia Marcantuoni, Seth Jones, Luca Ciampini, and Morgan Rielly.

    USA wins Gold with a 4-3 overtime win in an outstanding game against Sweden (takes home Silver)

    Ryan Murphy (Canada/Kitchener Rangers) was named the Top Defenseman for the Under-18 Tournament. Very deserving

    Rocco Grimaldi is going 1st round. He's very small but incredily skilled and loves to shoot.

    Mark Scheifele is a guy who I want my Sens to look at for Nashville's first round pick. Solid tourney from him

    Mark McNeill also had a very good tourney. Another guy who can go anywhere from 10-30.
