WC: 2019 US Roster Discussion

[William H Bonney]

Having a discussion over in the Devils board, how can Hughes be eligible for the team if he doesn't turn 18 till halfway through the tournament? I read that they must be 18 by the time the tournament starts, unless the team has a waiver.

He can apply for a waiver as long as he's 16. I assume USAH has already applied for one.

Got it. Thanks.

Is it just me or is there more interest in the WC these days from US fans. Wish I could get enthused however I don't really find it very relevant anymore. To each his own, enjoy.

if you want to end your year on a winning note - come see "Captain America" Patrick Kane and suit up boys..

Add Jake Guentzel and Phil Kessel to that list

It's just you. It's literally the same few USAH fans that have followed the tournament all long.

yep just about to post Jake the Snake Guentzel as well...he would be a huge add...Kessel might have a hot dog eating contest to attend next week in Sheboygan...likely out.

with Pittsburgh and Tampa out. If we could just get McDonaugh and Guentzel i'd be ecstatic. I'm not counting on Phil, but would love if he did

Right now Kessel's more likely to kick back and tweet something snarky about USA Hockey once again

 

[William H Bonney]

Sharks on life support. They likely won't offer much help. Joe Pavelski's a UFA and Kevin Labanc's a RFA and likely headed to a pretty good contract. Justin Braun didn't have a great season, but he's a RHD and signed, so he'd be a good option as a 2nd pair guy at most.

Doesn’t Phil always play the WSOP in the summer? I think that goes on at the same time.

I did a little quick math, if Phil played every poker tournament at WSOP it would cost around just under 500k. That’s .006% of his current contract.

Amanda should show her gold medal to him

Still mildly annoys me when younger players like Mittelstadt decline the WCs after a sub-par season, minus any lingering injuries.

Who said he declined? Maybe he wasnt even asked.

Sabres' Casey Mittelstadt: Not playing in World Championship

Why come out and say he won't be playing if he wasn't even being considered?

Because he was asked. And i understand if he declined this year because he have to work really hard for next season. He just wasnt ready physically for NHL.

Casey is the least of our worries, he will come play in this tournament, likely went through some injuries/tough year....if you want to bitch at anyone - start with Trocheck and Yandle who both should be here with zero excuses. Yandle did play for team USA, but it has been years. These guys seem to only play when they :have" to - World Cup or Olympics..

if Brady Tkachuk doesn't play that would be disappointing unless he wants to watch his bro play in the playoffs I guess..

 

[AmericanDream]

with Eichel and Larkin here, anyone think Matthews would come to if the Leafs get bounced?? that would be the most impressive trio of centers with Generational Jack Hughes we have ever put together at this tournament...

 

[ecemleafs]

Is there a list out of players who said they would play?

 

[William H Bonney]

Is there a list out of players who said they would play?

On page 3 but I'll repost below.

Right now it's Kane, DeBrincat, JVR, Kreider, Vatrano, Gaudette, Skjei, Q. Hughes, Primeau. Sounds like Eichel and Larkin are both in as well with many others still considering.

You really have to give huge credit for Kane. He doesn't only improve Team US but also the entire competition gets a massive boost. Kane seems to be a really great guy. We can only thank him for coming to Slowakia. Some self decared Canadian Superstars could really learn a esson in Terms of humbleness and sportsmanship from him.
