I think Riopel might be the best of the four (at the junior level) with Martin Jones right on his heels.<br /><br />I think Grubauer and De Serres are big questions marks though. They got their teams this far, but it's another step up now.Guy Flaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178739486819659419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6677867857097423502.post-33732218019285982382010-05-13T01:18:53.391-06:002010-05-13T01:18:53.391-06:00I honestly think the four most important players i...I honestly think the four most important players in this tournament are Nicolas Riopel, Phillip Grubauer, Jacob De Serres and Martin Jones. <br /><br />Each of these teams has a big time, league-leading scorer and they wouldn't be in the Memorial Cup if they didn't have depth to go with them. <br /><br />Whoever can stand on their head against the likes of Hall, Henrique, Kassian, Nemisz, Dechamps, Savard, Kozun, Broda, Schenn, Glennie, Calvert, etc - is the team that has the best chance IMO. <br /><br />Should be a great tournament. Looking forward to your coverage Dean & Guy.Mark-Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204493092400924142noreply@blogger.com
