WC: 2016 Team USA

[1Gold Standard]

Okposo is a free agent no?

I just checked, and yes, you are correct. Sorry, sometimes I don't often track the contractual status of U.S. players as diligently as I do for Canadian players.

I'll try and come up with a replacement.

Foligno, Dubinsky and Pacioretty would be the other question marks. Those guys always seem to have a naggin injury.

Just clone Patrick Kane, Ryan Suter, and Jonathan Quick and send those guys. Problem solved.

at this point Kyle Connor needs to be invited to this team - doesn't get invited to the WJC but gets invited to play with the big boys...too damn funny

It's still completely insane to me that he wasn't invited to the WJC.

I think Pomninville should be invited to this WC team.

That roster makes the 2015 WC team look somewhat decent by comparison.

Pominville is a good player; explain yourself?

I don't know if there are enough languages in the world for how many different ways Pominville has said no to usa hockey.

Yeah it shouldn't get deleted...Pominville WAS a good player. He's terrible now and shouldn't be considered for any national teams.

I actually only have one eyebrow so thanks for making me feel self-conscious on a hockey forum board.

Pominville, Umberger...two players who apparently didn't care to put the crest on and represent our country.

I was following along and thought the joke was funny because he was originally Canadian.

spot on as it gets.

Pominville... too funny, a dual citizen who was a dud for both countries. not much of a loss for either side, he was never that great of a player to begin with...Although in his best years, there weren't many, but in his best years he probably could have been of some use at the annual IIHF springtime tournament. I believe he did play 1 tournament for the U.S. and good for him...

He's good enough that in most years he'd make the worlds team rosters. But he didn't care
