from Mike G. Morreale of NHL.com,
Here's a look at NHL.com's top 11 players from the 2016 tournament (listed alphabetically):
Tyler Bertuzzi, LW, Detroit Red Wings: The 6-1, 190-pound left wing had four goals, five points, a plus-1 rating and 17 shots on goal in four games for the runner-up. He enjoys playing physical and getting in the face of his opponent, but has vowed to become a more all-around player and showed flashes of that in the tournament.
Pierre-Luc Dubois, C, Columbus Blue Jackets: The No. 3 pick in the 2016 draft came as advertised. He showed great speed, strength and refused to be pushed around. Dubois (6-2, 207) had one goal, five points, a plus-4 rating and six shots to help the Blue Jackets take third place.
Luke Johnson, C, Chicago Blackhawks: The right-shot center, chosen in the fifth round (No. 134) of the 2013 draft, had 11 goals and 21 points for the NCAA national champion University of North Dakota. He had one goal and 11 shots in four games. Johnson (5-11, 198) had five power-play goals, and led North Dakota in faceoff percentage (54.9 percent), faceoff wins (394) and faceoff attempts (718).
