There are TONS of junior aged players every year who look absolutely dominate in junior, you tear up the World Juniors and amount to squat once they hit the pros. Don't believe me, look at the list of guys you posted. What's Nylander done? He was tied with Aho. He's not even an NHLer yet. What's Malgin done? What's Juolevi done? Again, another NON NHLer.He hasn't even made the NHL yet. If you want to ignore what I pointed out with your little chart, then go look at the roster of pretty much EVERY Canadian University team and they are littered with really, really high scoring, good CHL players who where some of the best players on their junior team, probably were the center of wingman of NHLers who didn't get a sniff at the NHL and won't ever get a sniff.
JP had a great tournament. GREAT!! It doesn't mean squat if you can't translate it to the next level.

Also - you're defeating your own arguments here. All the kids in the 2016 World Juniors are still quite young - 20-23 years of age. Many players who grow up to be good players aren't in the NHL at age 21. Some don't make it, some will, but these are all still babies.
In case you're wondering, here's Team Canada's roster:

Some pretty good players on a team that didn't do well at all.

There will always be the odd one but I am going to guess that most of the guys either on the Canada roster or on the other teams, if they are going to be any kind of impact NHLer, it's probably already happened or they are on the verge. I really doubt there are too many of them playing in a lesser league than the AHL trying to find their game after 3 years.
Could Puljujarvi one day be a decent NHLer, maybe. But it wouldn't shock me if he didn't resign in Finland for a couple more seasons like Yak did in the KHL this year. Maybe come over in his mid to late 20's.
