Players with the most to gain/lose at WJC [Archive]

There are several draft eligible prospects that could make an impact and increase their chances of being picked higher in the draft. Karl Alzner, Jacob Voracek, Sam Gagner, Patrick Kane, and James VanRiemsdyk could essentially all play themselves into or out of the top 5. Which player do you predict will make the biggest statement positive or negative? I would say JVR could make the biggest impression given the latest reports that question his skating.
Also which drafted prospect would you predict makes the biggest splash?

I'm hoping that Patrik Berglund conitnues his breakout year with a dominant performance. If Frolik plays well he could regain the hype he had pre-draft year. Tuuka Rask could steal the show like Aebischer did for the Swiss a few years back. Will it be Okposo, Mueller, or will Backstrom show he is the next Forsberg?
