WJC: 2025 Team USA Roster Talk

[Kuracmugger]

Has McCarthy gotten better this year?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Fortescue was a top 4 dman for them last WJC, he isn't going to be bumped down to a healthy scratch defensemen.

Pretty sure you can actually dress 7.

Pretty sure you can actually dress 7.

Fair enough, but I still think there is zero chance he is going from a top 4 dman last year on a Gold Medal team, to being a #7 this year.

Not sure why this needed to be tweeted...

I was told that Quentin Musty (SJS), before breaking his hand, was not going to be invited.

Like rubbing salt in the wound.

In a separate tweet he reported that they also thought Musty was ugly and had no “rizz”.

Any last minute predictions before the camp roster is announced? USA Hockey usually likes to throw in a couple of surprise CHL invites.

Roster is out. Adams and Bednarik the only real misses for me. Release also mentions that EJ Hradek and Tony Granato will be calling the games for nhl network. No Starman is a HUGE win

Fiddler is a bit of a surprise, thought he was quite weak in the prospects game and absolutely got danced by Murtaugh

I’d be fairly surprised if he actually makes this team. This feels like more of a recruiting pitch with an eye on getting him to commit to the US and play on the 2026 and 2027 teams

Big body right shot go brrrr.

(not saying that's a good justification. just seems like every team builder sees that and takes them no questions asked)

 

[Jaykay]

Surprised by no Adams, Bednarik, or Shaugabay. Also not sure why you wouldn't take Kempf instead of going with an 05 third string goalie but that probably doesn't matter much.

What level of pull do the Bruins have with USA hockey to get Chris Pelosi on this team?
