A good move by Canada. They have IMO been really bad at taking in players not having made the NHL, or even yet been drafted, for the WCH. Something they used to do before. Gretz, Lemiuxe and Lindros for example all played there before the NHL/beeing drafted.
did chipchura and latendresse do the same thing last year?
Has he signed with the Hawks or going back to UND next year?

Don't be too surprised if he does make it. He will certainly not be a defensive liability like most young guys.
Now that Pittsburgh have been knocked out can Crosby, Staal et all be added to the roster?
Lindros played for our Nats/OG team, prior to being an NHLer...and likewise played at 18 for one of our Canada Cup Teams...But Not Gretzky and Lemieux...
Likewise, let's not forget that our top young stars ...tend to enter the NHL sooner, at say 18...whereas Top Euros are usually 20-21 before they're NHLers...
So what if a Euro from the RHF or SEL plays in the WC at 18 or 19 ?....How is that different than say....Crosby playing at the WC's last year for Canada at 18 ?...Or J. Staal this year...
Like I said already, I predict he makes it. I have that much faith in this kid. If he doesn't he will be one of the last to get taken off the roster.
Just watch.
Yes. Crosby pretty much said after the game that he will go.
