iirc, True also was among the tournament leaders in F/O%.
Sasha had some key impacts despite being mostly a 4th liner. he scored an important goal against Canada that gave TeamUSA some life support (although they ultimately lost a close contest); and in the Bronze medal game, he had a filthy assist off the rush.
Barabanov had the best overall personal results. i’m sure his performance has the SJ management excited about what might come next season, as well as providing some reassurance about the 1M signing.
Hard to imagine Toronto couldn’t get Barabanov in the lineup. He’s looked like money everywhere else.
well, perhaps they could’ve used during their playoff run after all. oh well!
Thanks for the extra excellent insight as usual, David!
