I watched most of all the games (minus Finland vs Czech Republic).
Fox will be an NHLer. Great skating, passing, vision, everything minus the shot.
Dube looked really good too and I think he's earned more ice time. Seemed to make something good happen whenever I noticed he was on the ice. I see a lot of Klimchuk in him though which might not be a good thing. But he does seem to have above average skating and speed which might help separate him.
Karny was decent I thought. His good forechecking was a big part of the first Russian goal, I'm not sure why he didn't get an assist on it. And he left the ice before the goal so he didn't even get a + (same with Dube's assist weirdly enough).
Kylington played a very solid game overall and got lots of ice time in all situations. He made some bad mistakes I'll give you that, but so did Brodie up until he was 22. He showed some great offensive instincts, passes and ability to recover from pinches with his skating. He was the best defenseman out there at keeping the puck in the offensive zone as well. He'll hold onto the puck for an extra second to let another play open up. His smooth effortless skating allows him to consistently box other players out before they can get a scoring opportunity. His game still needs some work around his own net, but he's progressed leaps and bounds from where he was a year ago. Also looks bigger out there and laid out some well timed hits.
Can't judge Parsons much based on his limited play, but he seemed fine and made a couple of big saves. The breakaway goal was probably stoppable, but hey it's a breakaway goal.
