[macbowes]

The most notable prospects to not make the roster are, in my opinion, Jack Nesbitt, Emile Guite, and Nathan Behm.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Fiddler has to feel like a bit of an outcast.

 

[Bjindaho]

Zachary Morin seems like a fairly large omission at this point.

 

[Leviathan899]

Who would you take him over? I don’t think he’s better than anyone listed. That’s a deep group.

[JackSlater]

No harm in this but I'd rather the super series return with Canada vs some country.

Fiddler has to feel like a bit of an outcast.

Is he Vern Fiddler's son? I'm assuming he's played for USA at the Hlinka or something?

 

[Bjindaho]

It's a small sample, but he's statistically been the best draft eligible forward in the Q.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

No harm in this but I'd rather the super series return with Canada vs some country.



Is he Vern Fiddler's son? I'm assuming he's played for USA at the Hlinka or something?

Yes, he's played for the U.S. internationally.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Will USA bring the USNTDP, a USHL draftable all star team or a mix

 

[jj cale]

Looking forward to this, should be some decent hockey.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I would say Guite is a bigger omission than Morin. Guite was much better between the two last season. Like not even in the same stratosphere. And very good for Canada at every tournament he's played at.

He's had an injury and had a cold streak for a few weeks, and all of a sudden left off the roster. He's better than half the guys picked there, at least. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

 

[Briser la glace]

This CHL group is so strong, I can't see how the NTDP can compete against these guys. It has everything: size, skills, speed, grit, character.

This might help a player like Murtagh to shine if he can compete and win puck battles against Spence, Bear, Cootes, Aitcheson...

 

[Bonin21]

Probably a decent amount of NCAA scouts at this series

 

[Mathieukferland]

I can't see how the NTDP can compete against these guys. It has everything: size, skills, speed, grit, character.

The NTDP regularly punches above their weight against more talented international rosters because they have spent so much time centralised, whereas, although I would say the talent on paper is a fair bit better, this CHL team is a bunch of strangers playing with each other or if they have played together only for a week or so at a time

 

[JackSlater]

Yes, he's played for the U.S. internationally.

Ah, that's dumb.

 

[peconcan]

Just grabbed tickets for the game in Oshawa. Surprisingly very reasonable prices!

 

[CutOnDime97]

No harm in this but I'd rather the super series return with Canada vs some country.

He also played for Canada at the U17 Challenge in 2023 with some of these guys as teammates
