Just a, a tremendous, you know, offensive defensemen
I think those guys are, you know, we’re seeing it
Y- you saw it in the draft this past year where Dax and Rudolph got, you know, went a little higher than probably a lot of us were kind of maybe expecting going to the draft
But, you know, e- exciting young defensemen
A guy that can control, the play
He’s an, he’s a guy that’s got me excited, but there, there’s a number of tw- 2028 guys that we’re gonna have to wait a while on who are probably gonna be just as, interesting to watch in terms of grabbing that spotlight at this tournament

Indeed
And Landon DuPont headed for the University of Michigan this fall
That’ll be exciting
For me, on top of being- That’s sad
That’s not exciting
He should be at the University of Denver
Of Denver?
You don’t have any room on your blue line- that, that’s true between Ryan, Lynn, Jackson Ru- like, where’s he gonna play?
Uh- I agree
No, I’m excited for him
Yeah.
You’ll- You’ll be fine
Denver will be fine
Yeah, o- on top of DuPont, Alexi Joseph, for Team Canada out of the queue
He’s, to me, is gonna be very interesting to watch
He’s a pure center, 6’4″, moves really well, plays that sort of power Nathan MacKinnon game

And then Milan Sundstrom, whose dad Nicholas played in the NHL, he has already got an overtime winner where he went end to end against Slovakia yesterday
This is a kid with a lot of upside coming out of Sweden, so he’ll be interesting to watch
