Raging Bull
Present
They basically decided this is who they're rolling with. Only two cuts to be made on forward and one on defense.

Such WHL bias from Sutter. Quite disappointing really.
How Nurse, Finn and Matheson aren't there is ridiculous.

Looks like a 3rd line checking role is Gauthier's to lose for the tourney.
Brent Sutter loves his role players.

The Legend Continues
Pretty criminal to keep Finn off of the team. I personally don't see a name listed that has outperformed him.
Also, no offense to Fucale, but we're pretty much doomed unless he picks up his play fast.

Offered and lost
Agreed, big time. Finn and Matheson should've been there 100%. Nurse is an 18 year old so that's somewhat more understandable but with the season he's been having it's still bull.

I feel bad for Brown because he's been playing so good last 2 years. Brown and Finn both deserve a shot to at least tryout for this team.
finn left off is just not right, brown I could understand
but finn is the best d man on Guelph, PPG, and has been healthy
that's just a joke he isn't on there.

He can almost make an NHL team, But he can't get an invite to the WJC
Finn is pretty much Guelph's Ryan Suter and Matheson has been a stand out in the NCAA as teenager.
Messed up.

Interesting approach with the defence on the roster.
In previous years, they've had the special teams guru in the likes of Murphy and Ellis that could control the puck and could skate well. It seems like this year they've gone with the well rounded type of players and not so specific one area of the game.
Pretty interesting that they left Domi and Nurse off the list.

Finn being left off is a surprise to me, thought he would atleast be invited. With the offensive power this team has, I never thought Verhaeghe would be an invite. This is usually a 19 year old tournament.
Some surprising names on and not-on the list. But I'm not going to pretend I'm a junior scout and know the in's and outs of all these guys like others feel the need to do.
I just hope it's not another dissapointing year.

Sutter and TC are doing things differently.
In the past they'd invite 30-35 players and then cut that down to active roster. However this time they have essentially named the team without a selection camp process with only a couple of spares\bubble players.
In Sutter's mind inviting Finn and cutting Finn as he didn't believe he would be on his final team has the same end result as not inviting him in the first place.
