The Burnsville, Minn., native made a big splash in Vancouver, notching four goals during a nine-game trial with the Canucks. CHARLIE McAVOY Boston Bruins Charlie McAvoy is used to playing against older competition. As a 15-year- old with the National Team Development Program he played against 19- and 20-year-olds in the USHL. But even that experience couldn't prepare him for his NHL debut in the Stanley Cup playoffs. The Long Beach, N.Y., native averaged 24 minutes a night teaming up with veteran blueliner Zdeno Charra. CLAYTON KELLER Arizona Coyotes There's a youth movement blooming in the desert and Clayton Keller is poised to play a key role. After leading the U.S. National Junior Team to gold, the Chesterfield, Mo., native helped guide Boston University to the Frozen Four. The speed and creativity he demonstrated in just three NHL games has Coyotes fans excited about what's to come. COLIN WHITE Ottawa Senators Colin White has always has a nose for the net. In addition to notching 35 goals in two seasons at Boston College, the Hanover, Mass., native led the gold-medal winning U.S. squad with seven markers at the World Junior Championship. This season he will get the chance to showcase that scoring touch in the NHL. LUKE KUNIN Minnesota Wild After leading the U.S. to gold at the World Junior Championship, Luke Kunin proved he has the skills and character to play at the next level. After two seasons with the University of Wisconsin Badgers, the Chesterfield, Mo., native cut his professional teeth late in the season with the Iowa Wild. This year he is poised to crack the lineup with the NHL club. C L AY T O N K E L L E R The
