I thought Dubas really burned Ron Wilson without saying a mean word. It was great.

IMPORTANT NYLANDER UPDATE YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR:
Dubas says the Leafs will be cautious with him, and he'll play when he's 100%.

Kasperi Kapanen, RW, Toronto Maple Leafs
Kapanen's point totals weren't too gaudy (Golden Goal notwithstanding), but I was thoroughly impressed by his performance at the tournament. He was constantly making plays with the puck, dazzling with his speed and skill, but it seemed as if every chance he set up ended up right at the goaltender or getting some bad break. Kapanen is by no means a perfect player -- several NHL scouts I've talked to this season have criticized his play off the puck at times in the AHL -- but he can show dynamic talent.
Mitch Marner, C, Toronto Maple Leafs
Marner was a little up and down at the tournament, but in totality he played very well. His skill level is rare, making the kind of plays around the puck you don't often see out of the typical "high-skill" forwards. He was caught trying to do a little too much at times, and could have been a little better off the puck, but overall he created space for scoring chances, got pucks to the net and was a slippery as an eel to check (I've never held an eel, but I've heard they're quite slippery).
Dmytro Timashov, LW, Toronto Maple Leafs
Timashov was not expected to have a huge role with this year's team. In fact, he was slated as a third-line player to start the tournament. However, injuries and other players not performing up to expectations led to increased ice time and responsibility, and he continued to play well. Timashov was Sweden's most dangerous forward in the open ice, displaying high-end offensive hockey sense and hands to create plenty of scoring chances. His diminutive size and lackluster skating could get exposed at times, but overall, he was dangerous and confident with the puck on his stick.
William Nylander, C, Toronto Maple Leafs
He only scored one point in the tournament. What a bum. [Editor's note: Nylander was shut down after sustaining a head injury in Sweden's first game.]

I confess, I see something like this and I have to admit I don't entirely understand how junior teams work.
Patrick said:Connor Garland drafted 5th round by the Yotes in the past draft is on pace for a 163 point season in the Q, having posted 137 in his draft year.
