TORONTO — Before the World Cup of Hockey started, GM Peter Chiarelli delivered a message to Team North America that was simple and to the point: make the most of this experience, because it will probably never happen again. As we saw on Sunday night, when North America defeated Finland 4-1, these kids are fun to watch. Mitch Marner scored 242 points in his last two seasons in the OHL, while Dylan Strome scored 240 points in that same span. 1 pick for 2017, is a 6-foot-3 centre who scored 102 points with the Brandon Wheat Kings last season. But we’re saving a spot for Nicolas Hague (draft eligible in 2017) and Ryan Merkley (2018).
