Barrett Hayton, a former 5th overall pick, is just breaking into the NHL, so you could expect him to take some time to adapt to the NHL level. Although it has taken him some time, I am a big believer in what he can bring to the table post world juniors.
Barrett Hayton went to the world juniors to grow and help make team Canada the best in the world. He did just that, capturing gold at the tournament after scoring the game-tying goal late in the game.
Although the tournament was great for Hayton on the ice, it did hold some trials while off of the ice.
