Canada typically uses their Ron Hainsey Men Jersey  younger players sparingly, but knowing Wright and his ability to lift his game in these big moments, he will simply just force his way into prime time.Wright didnt explode out of the gate this season in the OHL as many thought he would but he picked up the pace as the year has rolled on.Entering the World Juniors, he has30 points (11 goals, 19 a sists) in 22 games. Expect him to show why hes a No. 1 prospect in this tournament.Wright is a two-way forward who has an elite shot and an ability to make an impact whenever he steps on the ice William Nylander Kids Jersey , said . His shot and awarene s on the ice stand out. He has a quick release with great shooting mechanics, getting a lot of torque in his shot while showcasing an ability to shoot in stride or off both feet. He has a lot of confidence with the puck, consistently finding teammates in high danger areas for scoring chances., SlovakiaTeam: HK Nitra (Slovakia)Position: D2021-22 stats: 22GP | 0G | 13A | 13PTSFCHockey Rank: 3The top defenseman in the draft, Simon Nemec returns to the World Juniors poised to be the top defender on the Slovakian team.

While Slovakia may not be a medal contender, Nemec very well could be in the conversation for the top defender of the tournament.Whether its with his feet or with a pa s, Nemec is relied on heavily by his team to get the puck up ice and he does so with relative ease, one FCHockey scout noted. Hes a smooth skater, with a fluid, powerful stride and good mix of cro sovers in his movement. He always has his head up, scanning the ice and firing a pa s when the time is right. His decisions with the puck on his stick are excellent, really opening up the ice and creating chances for his team often., Ru siaTeam: Metallurg Magnitogorsk (KHL)Position: RW2021-22 stats: 21GP | 0G | 0A | 0PTSFCHockey Rank: 4Ru sia forward Danila Yurov has been having a strong draft-eligible campaign, despite his points not jumping off the scoresheet. After being a top player at the 2021  Ilya Mikheyev Men Jersey IIHF World Under-18 Championship earlier this year, Yurov now looks to bring that performance to the U20 level.He has seemed to solidify his spot at the KHL level, although hes been used in a very limited role. That has resulted in no points in his 21 games. At the MHL level, hes played another six games with 12 points (three goals, nine a sists) under his belt.

This year, Logan Cooley is the only NHL Draft eligible for the American team.

He Felix Potvin Kids Jersey s racked up 30 points (14 goals, 16 points) in just 20 games of non-USHL competition, leading the program in points-per-game.Expect Cooley to impre s all the same, as he has been doing all season long.He is a strong skating center with dynamic playmaking skills and shooting ability, said.
