Drury and Laviolette Must Go
It seems like the USA WJC rosters are heavily dependent on the NTDP, with a couple exceptions every year (like Brink, Kaliyev, etc.). Are there m/any big name CHL guys who can grab a role on next year's squad?
It’ll be heavily a group that went through the USHL. Mostly NTDP players, but we’ll probably see a few more than normal from other teams in that league. I don’t think any CHL’ers are projected for big roles, and I don’t even know if any will make the team. Hanas, O’Brien, Hayes, Tynan are some names who could make it. Jacob Perreault is a name to keep track of for a switch to USA from Canada. The mostly highly hyped of the Americans that went to the CHL, Antonio Stranges, is well out of favor at USAH, and probably is not too likely to make it without that either.
