Canada's 25 Man Roster

McMichael - Dach - Cozens
Perfetti - Newhook - Krebs
Mercer - Byfield - Quinn
Tomasino - Zary - Suzuki
Holloway/Pelletier

Byram - Drysdale
Barron - Harley
Guhle - Schneider
Spence/Korczak

Levi
Gauthier
Garand


Personally happy to see all 3 of my own eligibles made it: Mcmichael, Drysdale, and Barron.


Note: every team Canada forward is a 1st rounder in 2019 or 2020. Spence (4th) and Korczak (2nd) are the only non-1st rounders of the 22 skaters.

Those lines are just.... wow... deadly.

Byram and Harley should have great tournies - all eyes on Byram for sure. This is going to be great! Hope the tourney actually happens.

And those are without Lafreniere who is eligible to play, and turned it down.

Glad he did. He has nothing left to prove at the junior level. Let the other kids have their time.

I`m particularly intrigued to see how Krebs does.

Turned it down or Rangers didn't release him?

I'm sure he could have forced their hand if he wanted. Especially given he won't be missing any actual NHL games.

Based on timelines + quarantine rules I think the players would miss the entirety of camp if they went to Gold Medal game. Seems like a not ideal start for your #1 pick to jump into the NHL with no real training camp.

Good thread from The Bob.

a couple notable team USA cuts: John Beecher, Thomas Bordeleau as it seems beecher tested covid positive and Bordeaux was his roommate. Also, sounds like Robertson won't be joining the team...

With Slaggert making it that puts my own wjc players up to 6, so am happy with that: slaggert, teply, barron, drysdale, mcmichael, and Koffer.

Edit: 6* here that I can think of in Pelletier, byfield, Novák, Boldy, *holmstrom, *firstov

Beecher sucks anyway.

[Shoalzie]

It would be nice to get Beecher and Bordeleau back to Ann Arbor...Michigan's play has dropped off since all their guys left for Team USA's camp.

For being prospect poor, it's nice to see Moynihan make Team USA.

[Shoalzie]

Alex Steen is retiring...one year left on his current contract.

[Shoalzie]

Not a big surprise...he's not official retiring now...just going on LTIR for this season.

It`s the modern way to retire.

[Matthew]

Steen train has left the station.

[Shoalzie]

Wow, no Henrik Lundqvist...sitting out the year with a heart condition.

Holy shit did I luck out trading both Hank and Stalock! Wow!
