2019 World Junior Summer Showcase: Sampo Ranta led the way for Colorado Avalanche prospects

The 2019 World Junior Summer Showcase ended on Saturday, and there were a number of Avalanche prospects who represented their country at the four-team tournament. Some had quieter showcases than others, but it was a great opportunity to see a lot of Colorado’s newest prospects play competitive hockey for the first time since being drafted.

If you were following along with my live-tweets of the WJSS (I only tweeted the games I was able to watch), I gave every player a letter grade after each game they played. After the showcase ended, I averaged the grades (as best as I could) to come up with a final grade for the player’s tournament.
