Fresh off Team Canada’s golden performance at the 2020 World Junior Championship, Sportsnet’s Sam Cosentino offers up his top takeaways from the eventful tournament:Despite missing two games, Alexis Lafreniere was named the tournament’s MVP with 10 points over the five games he played. Lafreniere also had two helpers in the final, erasing any doubt as to who should be the No. 1 pick in June.
Canada’s Dylan Cozens celebrates with teammates Alexis Lafreniere, Joe Veleno, Barrett Hayton and Calen Addison after scoring the first goal against Russia during the gold medal game. The Toronto Maple Leafs property gave a good indication of why the Leafs are so high on him. Good on Kyle Dubas for releasing him from the AHL and giving him the experience of playing a lead role with his bronze medal-winning countrymen.
