I think Helenius is supposed to join the men's team after this one.

If Stiga and Bednarik keep playing the way they did today, I see them close to the top 10. Hemming as well.

Stiga is #11 on my board given his skating and unreal defensive play alone (2nd best skater in the draft, best defensive player in the draft). Hemming is a worse version (only difference is that he needs to work on his puck control, Stiga needs to work on using his strength offensively).

Bednarik is basically the definition of a Swiss Army knife type player. Pretty much can do everything when at his best, however he tends to be selfish with the puck (shot power isn't great and barely shoots the puck). Basically this year's Nate Danielson.
