Re : "There is 0 concern for me about 3 bad drafts."There is 0 concern for me about 3 bad drafts. They're still the best country in the world by a pretty wide margin considering the elite talent.
Marchand is hurt dont know how you come to that conclusion he was phenomenal in the first round. He also brings a very important element of grit, agitation, experience and being hard to play against. All aspects that I am confident HF will overlook but the real professionals will not.
I am not overly concerned about the 2018 team situation outside of Makar. Kyrou has no shot of making this team. Thomas is likely a bubble player.
Reinhart has also not come out of no where he is an elite two way player that had a break out year but was probably always going to make the team due to his versatility. His hockey sense and ability to play multiple roles in multiple positions puts him firmly on this team. Id rather try and predict what the roster will be next year at the 4 nations cup as its way sooner. Dont really love the excersize of trying to predict 2026. I do not agree on any level 2030 will be easier to predict there are millions of variables thats 6 years away.
If I were to predict the 4 nations cup this is my best guess.
Hyman Mcdavid Point
Reinhart Mackinnon Barzal
Marchand Crosby Johnston
Verhaeghe Bennett Stone
Byfield Bedard Jarvis
Toews Makar
Morrisey Pietrangelo
Theodore Doughty
Oleksiak Dobson
Binnington
Hill
Hofer
2026 is way harder but players like Mactavish, Fantilli, Lafreniere likely relaly push for spots. Agreed on guys like Harley he likely is really close.
4 bad drafts.
Re : "Marchand is hurt dont know how you come to that conclusion he was phenomenal in the first round."
I agree but, to my eyes, he looked very old and tired in Round 2.
Re : "Thomas is likely a bubble player."
I'm a fan of Thomas and, if he was available, he'd be on my team.
Re : " I do not agree on any level 2030 will be easier to predict there are millions of variables that's 6 years away."
That's true. Still, I like ALL the options we have - as opposed to 2026 where we are trying to scrape together a top end team.
Re : Your team
I really like it. Well done. Hope we win Gold.
