Each team's X-Factor at the 2023 World Juniors

The World Junior Championships start on Monday.

This edition of the tournament will feature three of the best draft-eligible talents we have seen in a while with Connor Bedard, Adam Fantilli, and Leo Carlsson, and also other top-level prospects, released from their respective NHL organizations for the occasion, like Shane Wright, Brandt Clarke, and Fabian Lysell. 

These are the known all-stars. But who else will we be talking about as this tournament progresses?

Let's look at some x-factors for each of the teams.
