Update time.
I'm rather disappointed in Horvat's NYI tenure to date. Not bad enough to drop him completely, but a demotion nonetheless. I've never really ben a big fan of Jeff Skinner, especially at the WHC, so Horvat could take his place at LW. And since TBL will get bounced in the opening rd. (maybe who knows) Point takes his place. 5 additions after the 1st. rd is pushing it, but within reason.

I could see Hagel going for the experience but if we get bounced early, I think Point would opt for his first long offseason in 3 years over playing.

I think Mike Matheson will get a call. He's been an absolute stud on the ice when healthy. On the international sized ice, his skating will be fun to watch even more.

Well that's a new wrinkle on things. so, Thomas, Kyrou, Hart and Batherson are out + all other 2018 WJHC roster players ineligible until further notice.

May have to scratch Chychrun as well. on the IR as usual. We shall see. There will be a lot of rejections and the final team will be a real team of no-namers much like the 2021 tournament. which was quite the blast. so, who knows.

If those you listed are "no-namers", then I'm not even a human being, but an insect.

(Then again, my username ain't Gold Standard – more like Mud Standard, I'm afraid.)


No, my rosters are overly optimistic. I'm not expecting anything close to that.

Maybe I'll do a roster of no-namers this weekend for giggles.

What about Owen Beck if Peterborough gets knocked out early in the OHL playoffs? Seems like the kind of player we'd take along for the ride if some of the bigger name options back out.

Think Bedard definitely gets the call but what about Fantilli? College guys always suit up for the states but there’s Benn no talk of him being anywhere near this rister

I would definitely give him a spot, his World Junior tournament may have been mid but his production and play since returning from there to Michigan has been ridiculous. Scored the tie goal vs Penn State and is a big reason why Michigan is back in the Frozen Four.

Maybe some players from the european leagues will get a chance. Like was the cause with Eric O'Dell and Justin Danforth.

Some interesting names:

You never know what will happen if a ton of NHLers refuse. Except with Formenton. In that case we know.

Can someone make potential Team Canada roster prediction with lesser known players(if thats the case this year)? I know that predicting Team Canada is almost an impossible task but maybe some canadian might try. Gold Standard? :D
