Just looking at some of the other recent NCAA roster players and the numbers they put up in their WJC years.
Here are some of the NCAA team Canada players:
2008 Kyle Turris had 35 pts in 36 games (Wisconsin)
2007 Dan Bertram had 25 pts in 40 games (Boston College)
2007 Jonathan Toews had 46pts in 34 games (North Dakota)
2006 Dan Bertram had 26 pts in 39 games (Boston College)
I think he is on the radar because he essentially jumped all the way to NCAA from Canadian High School. He plays in a pretty good conference (I am not an NCAA expert but Providence plays some pretty elite teams from what I see) and adapted pretty well to the challenge. I think he will play a bigger role for providence so the opportunity will definitely be there.
