tournament wrapup

gold: yanks > swedes

best goalie: hugo hävelid (swe, undrafted?)
the 5'10" 'tender with the .952sv% was prob their best player? seems like to me, having seen none of it
best forward: cutter gauthier (usa, phi)
only had 2 goals but the setup man co-led with 12 points
best dman: axel sandin pellikka (swe, det)
no idea what he did, wasn't t10 in scoring, but the tournament director liked him so gjge

media allstars
mvp: jonathan lekkerimäki (swe, van)
weird pick as he co-led with 6 goals, but was only tied for 5th in points
goalie: hugo hävelid
see above. the little guy might have a future in the swedish league
dmen: lane hutson (usa, mon), theo lindstein (swe, stl)
media preferred lindstein to pellikka, i think they should fight about it
forwards: cutter gauthier / jiří kulich (cze, buf) / jonathan lekkerimäki
kulich co-led the tournament with 12 points. noah ostlund (swe, buf) also co-led his team in points, so the sabres system potentially looking good

other notes
- gavin brindley (usa, cbj) looks like he was the yanks trigger man with 6 goals
- filip mešár (slo, mon) had a good tournament with 9 points in 6 games
- possible #1 pick macklin celebrini (can, 2024) led his team with 8 points in 5 games. a nice tournament for a draft eligible player, but pales in comparison to connor bedard's 9 goals & 23 points in 7 games last year, though that team was much stronger and canada had home ice advantage. so who knows
