Quotes from Mitch Brown on Twitter regarding each player:
Sam Rinzel –
> Shutdown role went pretty well for Sam Rinzel. Kept his usual high-value transition ability while becoming a suffocating in-zone defensive presence. Tighten that NZ gap, and he’ll be cooking.
> Impressive showing from a prospect who keeps adding new ways to impact the game.
Oliver Moore –
> Oliver Moore started as the 13th forward and finished as one of the best players at the World Juniors.
> Here’s a fun stat: Moore was 12th in total expected goals (2.5) despite only getting a total of 65 minutes of ice time.
Frankie Fuckin’ Nazar III –
> Through 7 games: Frank Nazar was the top forward at the World Juniors in this data set, driven by incredible results everywhere. The rare combination of high volume, high efficiency, and high-value plays.
