The Best juniors player in the world... Espen Knutsen Jr. of Detroit.

Against: The statement itself is very difficult to agree with. Best in the world. What does that even mean? Right now? In general? Ever? I don't think any player stands out so much that you could call him "best in the world". There might be some very good ones and Espen is possibly one of them, but I wouldn't go as far and call him the best in the world. We certainly don't have enough data to support this either. And we don't even know how good someone has to be in order to be defined as "the best". I'm simply against it, because there's no possible way to define this and perhaps I'm also against such a statement in general. One thing I could agree with however, is that he's not the worst player in the world.

BS! I think there is a pretty good way to define it - points. Espen Knutsen Jr. has the most points and therefore as good a case as any for being the top player. Detroit started the year off slow and once Knutsen turned it on, the team has been performing a lot better as a whole - that on-ice leadership is indicative of a player worthy of such a claim. (in reality i don't think he's the best. his numbers are inflated by one crazy fluke game lol. but @Randominoe is my Team Norway Top Homie and I think everyone in this thread has said Against so I gotta go to bat for him here)
