How did the WJC affect the rankings, in your opinion?
I think they proved that Lafreniere is significantly ahead of the rest of this draft.
I think Drysdale showed he is the best defensman available. It is very hard to play in this tournament as a young D.
Tim Stutzle moved himself well into the top 3 conversation. Before the tournament he was more pushing to be in the top 5.
Other than those 3, the Swedish duo of Holtz and Raymond both looked as expected and the remainder of the (top end) draft prospects didn't play in the tournament.

So tbh, it didn't really affect my rankings. The title is just so I can tell when I made this mock.
But for me, the WJC showed two things : Lafrenière is the clear 1st overall and Drysdale being the clear best dman of the draft, he should go in the top 5.
Oh, and Askarov didn't show me he should be in the top 5, even top 10. I know he is very young and this is a hard tournament for a 17yo goalie, but still, Im not a fan of drafting a goaltender that high.
