THAT DOESN’T BODE WELL FOR HIS OPPONENTS ACROSS THE NHL
Video Transcript
I don’t know, the guy, who’s the presumptive 2027 overall pick who had four assists in the gold medal game

That guy, I think his name is Dupont
Yeah, no, I mean, I, I mean, I He seems to be just a completely immense talent and, I mean, right now looks to be the no doubt number one overall pick next year
So, I mean, he obviously stood out
Yeah.
Yeah, and a g- great sign of things to come for the World Juniors too, ’cause I imagine Dupont’s gonna be on that team
And, you know, for Canada, which is, you know, definitely looking to rebound after some disastrous World Junior showings, you know, it is a great sign
I’m gonna go with, a couple Regina Pats, Liam Pugh and Maddox Schultz
All this talk about players leaving Major Junior, going to the NCAA, hey, there’s a reason to watch the Dub this season, and it’s those two guys who play together in Regina and, you know, showed a ton of offense

So, I don’t know if Maddox Schultz is good enough to be on that World Junior team because it looks like there’s gonna be a lot of stacked forwards on the World Juniors, and he is, what, two years, you know, two years younger than everyone
So, uh- But just a, a definite, you know, like I said earlier, a sign of good things to come
Maybe this is gonna show you, Mike, that, you know, this is gonna be Canada’s season when it comes to international competition
Y- yeah
You know what I mean?
I, I guess that nobody wants to mention that the US handed it to Canada at the Summer Showcase
Yeah.

You know, it, well, it’s a convenient memory there
No one watched that
We’re not- Worth noting though that Team USA won the Hlinka last year, which was pretty shocking because they do not bring NTDP kids for the most part
It’s, it’s usually, you know, kids from Major Junior, USHL, things like that
So it’s kids that aren’t familiar with each other
So, that was a nice feather in their cap last time
But, absolutely demolished this time by a Canadian team that definitely had revenge on its mind
And yeah, it will be interesting to see what Maddox Schultz and Liam Pugh can do in the Dub this year, as they’re both up for the 2028 draft

One other name I’ll mention, out of Slovakia, Tom Selish had a great tournament
A lot of goals, good size there, and you know, we were kind of joking on online, his name really looks like Tom Selleck
For, for all of us, who remember Magnum, P.I
And, uh- I was gonna say, his nickname’s gotta be Magnum
His nickname’s gotta be Magnum, P.I
Or Magnum
Or Quigley Down Under, although I don’t know if anybody ever saw that
Uh- That was a good movie
Was it?
I have no idea
That, that was Strikes me as a VHS classic
But we’ll, we’ll see if it stands up
But Selish one to watch as well
He had a great tournament for Slovakia
