Misa, he's kinda like Bedard. 

I would take Hagens at 2 although I might be persuaded to take Misa. Martone is a winger and his shot and overall 200ft game is not as refined as either of these two. Martone revs at lower RPMs. 

I see Misa as a mix of Jack Hughes and Bedard.

I'd be down with a Bedard ish guy in the lineup.  I personally would think someone like Martone and the bigger frame would be a better fit for this team.  Too many smaller bodies in the pipeline already.  Plus I like that he was wearing the "C" for Team Canada.  And Misa wasn't invited to the tournament?

Just to clarify, Misa is 6'1" so he's not small. 

Martone was not team Canada's C at the wjc20. Yager was the Capt. Considering how poorly team Canada did, I think they could have used Misa. Martone had 1a in 3 games.

I didn’t look at his size.  You had said Bedard ish so I assumed.  And you what happens when one assumes!!  😊  

And wasn’t Martone Captain of the U-18?

Negative, he's C of his ohl team. He wasn't C on the u18 either,  Cam Allen was. 

As to Misa, he has the rush and shot game like Bedard. He actually is reminding a bit of better skating Seth Jarvis.

I'm confused.  That's him in the middle.  Unless we're talking about two different tournaments.

I'm sorry, you're partially correct. Cam Allen was captain but martone was on 2 u18 teams in consecutive years and was captain after Allen moved on to the u20.

So in 2022, Allen is C of u18

In 2023, Martone is C of u18

In 2024, Yager is C of u20

We will forever regret not taking Misa if he's available.
