Let's turn back to the 2024 draft though
0:03
Peter, who increased their stock the most throughout this tournament? I have one name already, that's Cole Iserman
0:11
We talked about him maybe dropping off. He had nine goals, second in the goals
0:18
tied with James Higgins, his teammate. And I mean, the states were stacked
0:23
but Iserman, I mean, we know he can score, but you kind of solidified again that he can score
0:30
Nine goals in seven games. Who else kind of increased their stock apart from him
0:37
You can talk about him if you want to. See, here's the thing
0:45
We're probably gonna talk a lot or put a lot of focus on Canada and US
0:51
I do think Cole Iserman increased his stock a little bit where maybe instead of being outside the top 10
0:57
he may have pushed himself back into it because he showed a little bit more of that physicality
1:01
using that size as advantage. Being more of a versatile threat, because I know we just questioned about his shot
1:09
and how he wasn't engaged in certain areas. I thought he did a good job of stepping it up
1:15
And even so, he wasn't even on a line with James Higgins. So he was absolutely dominant in carrying his own weight
1:20
Obviously, you leave him wide open on a power play, that puck's going in the net
1:24
I really thought he really stepped it up. And I think whatever is said or done in final rankings
1:30
I think it may have had a say, or if it's already out, maybe teams will take that into effect
1:35
because you can't deny that shot. You can't deny his offensive abilities. I really do think TJ Gintle really improved the stock
1:41
to maybe being a top 10 player. That tournament alone, I mean, we sat here
1:48
we talked about him, how great he was in the WHO. I think this tournament alone really solidified himself
1:54
as a top 10 pick because of that tenacity, the work ethic, the skill that he could possess
1:59
and push everybody back and open up space for himself and his teammates. Instead of possibly being a player outside of the top 10
2:08
or like in that 10 to 15 range, I think he's really in that five to 10 range
2:12
And there's definitely gonna be a team that's gonna take him. And lo and behold, Calgary's number nine
2:17
Wouldn't it be great to have a Gintle reunion in Calgary right there? But yeah, he was definitely one player
2:25
that really stood out, that really made an impact and most likely improved the stock
2:31
to being a little bit higher up than where he usually is right now
