Because fans are too sentimental and unwilling to trade a key roster player that would allow us to do this. It took the Trevor Linden trade to get the assets needed to do this back in 1999.

No way. I am willing to give up anyone on this team for a chance to draft both of them.
But I doubt bottom feeders are willing to take our glut of older players/prospects.

Boy, just goes to show what a crap-shoot this tournament is...if Canada had a goalie who could stop a weather balloon, Finland wouldn't have got anywhere near the final.

I thought Canada was the better team more times than not in that game, any game between the top teams in this years tournament was really a crapshoot.
Kahkonen is a pretty solid goalie and should have been playing to begin with in the Canada-Finland game
And every top team had really good top lines
Literally all of them had amazing players, with Finland having an amazing trio, as shown by their point totals
Someone (I think WTG ?) said earlier in the tournament that this tournament was between Finland and Russia I'm pretty sure
I get that we cheer for Canada, but definitely don't underestimate these other countries
Especially as they have been getting stronger and stronger
Denmark slowly improving
Swiss still hanging around
Finland becoming a powerhouse
Sweden has always been there
And Russia and the USA have always been good as well

...and if all the Canadian teenagers in the NHL were eligible and available for this tournament the gap would widen again, assuming they could find a goalie somewhere.

Yes, the ill-fated Keenan years get regularly dissed on these boards....but trading Linden to the Isles was a stroke of genius....netted Bertuzzi and McCabe, the latter flipped to the Hawks for the third pick (Henrik)....then Bert dumped on the Panthers for Luongo.....what the chances of Jimbo pulling off any deals like that?

No chance.
1. Brian Burke is a mad scientist of hockey. Most GMs are....normal person.
2. Back in the 90s, pre cap era. Trades were more than just trades, ut definitely involved $$ to owners.
