McDavid's age and his defense are his biggest handicaps. He needs to prove he can play that much better in all three zones than the guys he is fighting for ice time with. Frederik Gauthier has 6 inches and 45 lbs on him. He uses his size well and is excellent in the defensive zone.
Keep in mind this is normally a tournament for 19 year olds. To make it as a 16 year old is incredible. To make it as 16 year old and play top line minutes? Not even Crosby did that.
