WC: USA Roster

[Artorius Horus T]

This is what i got after injuries, contract situations etc.

Scott Darling
Charlie Lindgren
Cale Morris

Bishop is injured and i think Anderson maybe wants to spend extra time with his family after what has happened in recent years. I think Darling and Lindgren are better than Condon or Montoya. Of course there is Howard but some reason i believe he will not come this year. Dark horse is Demko. I think he could do what Hellebuyck did couple years ago.

Jaccob Slavin-Justin Faulk
Nick Leddy-Neal Pionk
Jordan Oesterle-Connor Murphy
Christian Wolanin

Alex Galchenyuk-Jack Eichel-Vincent Trocheck
Alex DeBrincat-Nick Schmaltz-Patrick Kane
Anders Lee-Clayton Keller-Ryan Dzingel
Christian Dvorak-Nick Bjugstad-Christian Fischer
Casey Mittelstadt/Adam Gaudette

Your gm should stay far away from selecting Leddy&Lee
any Islander for that matter, their season has not done
good things for them. Lee has been great, i give you that,
but in his last game i saw something about what no hockey player
should do; give up. In the third Lee played like someone
who'd rather be somewhere else. Leddy has been the worst
player in the NHL this season, shouldn't represent team USA.

please start naming some damn players, 3 games left in the season lol!!

Leddy hasn't been anywhere near the worst player in the league or on his team.

He has taken the brunt for being the #1 on a horribly structured defense...His style of play helps nothing, but he is not the reason the Isles can't keep pucks out. They have no system in place, they have had injuries to key defenders, and just haven't been good overall on the back check forward wise. Most Isles fans say Leddy has been okay to good, nowhere near the worthless plus/minus stat puts him at..He is not a true #1 defensemen, yet that is what the Isles are playing him as.

Islanders are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. Lee and Leddy are easilypossible selections.

at this point, he likely starts for us!! best G.A.A we have!

Sounding like Eichel may not go? Mittelstadt said he would love to go if he got an invite.

Jack Eichel unlikely to play for Team USA at world championship - Sportsnet.ca

“It’s a tough situation with the ankle and the long season. You have to be fully committed to going to a tournament like that because it’s so long. We’ll see,” Eichel said Monday.

“Clayton Keller did it last year and he loved it, so it would be pretty cool for me to do that,” said Mittelstadt. “I’ve watched it for many years so I’d love to do it.”

f*** off Eichel!!!!

I kid, I kid...I figured he would be out, and he came last year- but damn if he isn't healthy he shouldn't be playing...seems like smoke to me..

If I am Buffalo I beg Eichel not to go to nurse his injuries

 

[William H Bonney]

Casey Mittelstadt is in.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Casey Mittelstadt is in.

I don't mind that.

 

[William H Bonney]

I don't mind that.

Or maybe not? Sabres GM said he was playing, but Mittelstadt said he hasn’t heard from USAH.

HAHAHA, has anyone heard from team USA???? 2 games left in the damn season and other countries have half their damn teams confirmed already!

 

[Rabid Ranger]

It's been pretty quiet. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I don't mind that.

Not at all.

well, the guard has changed a bit now with no JJ, so maybe they are changing everything around as well and with that is my hope for better players to join!

 

[scotian1]

Carson Smith's reputation certainly exceeds his performance.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

When Matthews gets knocked out after four games will he go to the World Cup?

I think all three Leafs young guns would love to join in, plus Andersen. Unfortunately, it won't be a sweep.

 

[Christien]

 

[William H Bonney]

Dylan Larkin, Chris Kreider, Casey Mittelstadt (now confirmed by Dreger) are all in. Sounds like Larkin just needs to finalize his insurance.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

That's a good start! Speed and skill.

 

[1Gold Standard]

That's a good start! Speed and skill.

nice pick up for the U.S. it would be great if that inspires Mantha, also a pending RFA, to suit up for Canada. I can live with a line of RNH-McDavid-Mantha
