The Hockey News’s Steven Ellis compiled a list of his top 20 players from the 2022 World Junior Championship, and, just as Simon Edvinsson is due a little criticism for an up-and-down outing, Carter Mazur’s performance merits praise:
Carter Mazur, LW (USA, Detroit): Mazur has quickly developed into an incredible find for the Detroit Red Wings after getting selected 70th overall in 2021. Mazur had five goals and seven points in five outings for the Americans, becoming an integral piece of the team’s scoring core.
Continued; I’ve said my piece on Mazur, and I’ll suggest that he was less than an incredible find given that the Red Wings’ director of amateur scouting, Kris Draper, happened to coach Mazur on Little Caesars’ Under-12 team at one point.
