Wheeler is really revealing this "The Bachelor" style

"The next Team Canada helmet to...."

*cut to nervous looking teenagers as dramatic music plays*

"Matthew Wood"

"*sigh of relief, retrieves his helmet and into the next room"*
 
Coach consideration for line-ups based on exhibition games:

*games should have been played on international ice so that players who are adept on international ice can display their skills and players with average speed and puck skills are more easily identified:

Minten Geekie Savoie
Wood Celebrini Dumais
Vidicek Barkey Firkus
Ludwinski Beck Danielson
Yager

Mateychuk Luneau
MOLENDYK Lamoureux
Furlong Bonk
Buchinger Nelson

* keep 8 defensemen until HC finishes their exhibition games.

Rousseau
Ratzlaff
DiVincentiis
 
Owen Beck is a lock.

Also, if I were in Canada's management group, I'd be calling Kyle Davidson and telling him that with Bedard being the only guy in Chicago who's producing, he could accidentally make the Blackhawks win too many games and lessen their chances of getting first overall again. Send him to Sweden where he can't do any more damage.
 
Leaving a spot open incase an NHL team changes its mind feels a bit odd, yeah? Is that normal?
Not normal, but normal for them to talk to teams and get an idea of the chances a guy is released. They might think they have a legit shot at getting someone

lol, Bedard not going to this World Juniors has been obvious since before last World Juniors
 
His dad is well connected to a bunch of NHL players as a skating coach, probably some politics involved since the kid was on the bubble.

What makes it a "great story"? Who knows
Donovan should be there if this was the case, but that obviously has nothing to do with it whatsoever.

The great story is being passed by the NHL twice and making the WJ team.
