Agreed. He's not big but he plays a style USAH loves and he's versatile, too. The fact that he almost made the last WJC team for the same staff is going to give him a leg up this go around, too.

The main name that jumped out to me as not being there is Will Skahan

Pavel Buchnevich

Only name not making it that really stands out to me is no Skahan. Surely he must be injured or something.

I haven't seen him enough to have an overly informed take, but he plays the prototypical style that USAH loves for the grinder line with his motor.

Really surprised Skahan didn’t make camp roster. I didn’t expect him to make the final team but I thought he’d at least be at camp…
Brady Cleveland might be the first ever former USNTDP D+2 former second round pick to not even make the camp roster (I have zero source for that).

Seems like the 4th line RW spot is wide open right now. Noah Powell and Brandon Svoboda are two to keep an eye on there.
Powell's 6'1, competitive, plays heavy, and finished his USHL season with 42 goals in his final 45 games. If he can keep up with the speed/pace, then I'd probably give him the nod as it stands now. He has no USA hockey experience though, where most of these other guys do whether it's NTDP, WJAC, or Hlinka.
Svoboda's 6'3 and a good skater. He has the draft pedigree as a 3rd rounder, has won two Clark Cups and can play a role.
I'd also be looking at Tanner Adams, 2 way forward who was 2nd on Providence in scoring and Brodie Ziemer who was just captain of the u18s. The problem with both of them is they are neither big or fast.
My depth chart would look something like this, not factoring in chemistry. I don't know Willis well enough to include.
Team chemistry will be interesting to see. You have a lot of individually talented players like Moore, Connelly, Eiserman, and Whitelaw, but how will they fit together assuming you keep Perreault and Leonard together.

Another player worth keeping tabs on next year is Blake Montgomery. 6'4 and has speed. If I had to pick the team today, he wouldn't be on it, but I would have invited him to the camp at least.
They certainly brought a lot of guys with size to summer. Ralph, Fischer, Kieber were all unexpected by me.

Probably not. Not that he's so much worse than some of the lesser players that made it, but CHL and his profile of player don't help.

Righteous bucks!
Someone slip Connelly children's benadryl before the games and keep him off the ice when the US has a lead.Summer Showcase roster

2 is better than one
I was expecting six first rounders at most. Will probably have a good run of second rounders.
I guess it depends on how his season goes in Minnesota but what do you guys think Oliver Moores role will be on this team?
Just wondering if he is predicted to have an impactful offensive role or more a middle six two way role. Guess it will be a little bit of both.

Wednesday's Roster at the WJSS should be pretty telling on who they need more views of:
"- Head coach David Carle revealed that the staff is now entering phase two of the camp which means that they are going to let the returning players rest and not play them anymore. They want to get a look at the other players who have a bit more to prove."

Lot of guys playing well so far at the showcase, there are going to be some very tough decisions for the final roster. No matter how they pick it, this is a team that is going to skate circles around most opponents.
