It's pretty disappointing that Team Canada went with only vets, the youngest player on the roster is 25. I would've appreciated it far more if they'd taken one or two fun young players. Sam Steel or Jordan Kyrou maybe. Right now I just feel no desire to root for a bunch of NHL washouts and European stars.

Ditto the NHL. quote:"Junior players are not playing under NHL contracts while they continue to be junior players,” NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly told thn.com in an email. “I would expect that if any were to be invited, it would be done with the prior consultation and approval of the player’s NHL team, but no, there would be no resistance or concern from an NHL perspective.” http://www.thehockeynews.com/news/article/hockey-canada-has-full-support-of-chl-giving-junior-players-green-light-for-olympics

Woll is currently sporting an .898 in the NCAA and got lit up in the WJC. He would not be the answer either way.

I feel like the faves for gold are Russia or Sweden, since they can use folks from the Elite League and KHL, and I feel like the KHL players from Russia will be more talented and have more chemistry. Same for Sweden.

All the big nations have a lot of talent in the NHL though, and it's not like Canada and the US didn't take guys who are also very good in the Euro leagues. Canada's in the weakest group too, which should help with seeding at least. grack posted:Russia is still banned from the Olympics and any Russians that do go will be called "Olympic Athletes From Russia". There will be no Russian team. The Russian team participating as the Olympic Athletes from Russia is going to be the exact same players, and in the same group, as they would have been otherwise, so I'm not sure how relevant that is.

Yeah Russia is going to celebrate when the team made entirely of Russian players wins gold, so it really doesn't matter if they're technically Russia or not.

It's the exact same team minus anyone caught doping, of which I think there are none. (They're absolutely all doping they just didn't catch any.)

Can I get a hot take on Duclair? I thought him and Domi were doing really well last season. How did Chicago get him for Former NHL Leading Goal Scorer Richard Panik?

Anthony Duclair's locker room problems included: -Walking into the Coyotes locker room and asking where the other half of the NHL team was -Celebrating after wins, while the rest of the team forgot how -Not liking Zac Rinaldo

They're not bad, I've watched them in D1 rec league at a local rink. Though Maxwell is playing above his weight a bit, should probably stick to D2 or D3.

He did it in the AHL and the DEL, interestingly enough the AHL instituted a rule that ejected the goalie (in addition to the penalty shot), while the DEL decided to automatically award a goal (which makes way more sense).
