The last time I really cared about the World Juniors a lot was 2015, since future Edmonton Oiler Connor McDavid was on Team Canada along with Nurse, Lazar (:smith:) and others. Last 3 tourneys I've more or less been indifferent to it for most games.

no, it's just happened to work out that way in the past few years. I really have no idea how the seeding works for the preliminary round and I'm not having luck finding any information.

Excluding last year (where the organizers had Canada and USA in the same group on purpose for the outdoor game), group seeding uses the previous tournament's standings like this:

Group A:
1st place
4th place
5th place
8th place
9th place

Group B:
2nd place
3rd place
6th place
7th place
Promoted team from Div I

USA scratched Jack Hughes again and I have no idea why

It's because they want to make it fair for the other teams.

No, but seriously, he's injured:

sadly R-Lam is more interested in left political drama than hockey at this point, so I'll just say it: it's coming home

USA proceeds to finish 4th
