Interesting to see that Canada not only has the largest, but also the oldest WJHC team this year. Obviously we're talking about pretty small margins in a tourney like this, but I think it's notable considering just how young our team was last year.

This may change slightly as other teams make additional roster cuts, but the chart below is from EliteProspects:

1.Austria U202706'0" / 182.00 cm177 lbs / 80.41 kg18.26
2.Canada U2025426'1" / 185.08 cm191 lbs / 86.60 kg18.76
3.Czech Republic U2028436'1" / 185.79 cm183 lbs / 83.21 kg18.57
4.Finland U2025416'1" / 184.24 cm181 lbs / 81.92 kg18.44
5.Germany U2025195'11" / 181.24 cm177 lbs / 80.16 kg18.48
6.Russia U2025266'1" / 185.52 cm184 lbs / 83.48 kg18.72
7.Slovakia U2030426'1" / 186.10 cm187 lbs / 84.62 kg18.17
8.Sweden U2025456'1" / 184.36 cm185 lbs / 84.08 kg18.68
9.Switzerland U2028246'0" / 182.52 cm175 lbs / 79.56 kg18.32
10.USA U2025356'0" / 184.12 cm184 lbs / 83.48 kg18.72

There are no teams with cuts to make. I am pretty sure every team had to go into the bubble with their locked in 25 man roster.

Some of these teams are not yet down to 25 players (Slovakia with 30, Switzerland & Czech with 28, Austria with 27).

Some of these teams (Slovakia for sure) are going into the bubble with excess players and making cuts there.

Each team was allowed to bring 40 total people into the bubble on Dec 13th. Most, including Canada, went with 25 players and 15 support staff. A team can choose to enter the bubble with, for example 28 players and 12 support staff, but they will still have to cut down to 25 players before tournament starts and then still only have 12 support staff because the bubble is closed.

Zegras already has gotten the universal overrating treatment after last WJC, following in the footsteps as such stars as Poehling, Mittelstadt, Keller, and Milano.

I wonder if this will be the year where we see it happen to the same guy twice.

Zegras may well be the best player in his draft. He was highly rated before the WJC. He should be more valuable than any of the players mentioned. That being said we know what Zegras can do. It would be nice if they spent time on the lesser known players - drafted or 2021 eligible.

Let's not talk about U.S. players.
