The pace of the Flames/Isles game last night was fantastic.
WJC is exciting because of the inferior players on the teams that cough up pucks and miss assignments which lead to scoring chances.
Even the best WJC players ever need to adjust to the pace of the NHL

You think only 6 guys on Canada are going to make the NHL?
Hubredeau, Hamilton, Gormley, Murray, Schiefle and Strome are all pretty much guaranteed to make it. Smith-Pelley and Connelley already made their teams and 1 or 2 other guys are likely to make based on past teams and the success of players.
I think it would be a huge disappointment and a number of busts if only 6 guys from this team made the NHL.
10 guys from this team making the NHL might be a conservative guess.
