Just Missing : Chase De Leo, Cole Cassels, Justin Bailey, Tyler Motte, Brian Williams, Tyler Kelleher, Anthony Louis, Conor Garland, Cam Askew, Nick Magyar, Ryan MacInnis, Jordan Greenway, Colin White, Jeremy Bracco, Shane Gersich, Shane Eiserman, Chris Wilkie, Zach Werenski, Jack Dougherty, Christian Dvorak, Kevin Labanc, John Hayden, Michael McCarron, Evan Allen, Keegan Iverson, Aaron Haydon, Keaton Thompson, etc - I am sure missing a ton of players as well!!

Only need to go with two goalies here. Bring 8 dmen and 13 forwards.

This group would likely be my dream scenario though they likely would go with a few 95's over some of the 1996s I have. Plus I am sure Ryan MacInnis finds his way on here as well.

This team would be very tough to play against and would have that skill that we have been lacking this year

WILD CARD - Blake Clarke - we will see how he does in Saginaw, so far so good from what I have seen. ppg player the rest of the way.

Can't say I disagree with any of that.


If the US converts on it's power play at a 10% rate in the final two games, ie scores ONE GOAL on almost ten chances, they are still playing right now.

The team wilted in both of the final two games over the final two periods.

Gillies was average at best.

he forgot Ryan MacInnis as he is a serious name to look at next year.

White making it would be fine with me though not sure if they go with any 97 not named Hanifin.

I don't disagree either. As a matter of fact, the fear that this team couldn't score never really materialized. It ended up being a special teams battle this team lost. It's a shame, because as you say the margin was so thin. Oh well.
