WJC: 2025 Team USA Roster Talk

[LemonSauceD]

I feel like Buium and Perrault are going to dominate.

need this as well, as a gambling degenerate. will eiserman be on the top unit with the first line and buium? i like his value of goal scoring leader at +2000 if so

Burnevik started camp on the top unit. No reporters at the pre tournament games for the US so I don’t know what the units actually are but Burnevik had a goal assisted by Perreault and Hagens in the second game so I’m guessing he’s stuck with the top unit thus far. Eiserman likely pp2

Game day # one.

Things I’m watching today

1) Eiserman either needs to net a couple or play a full 200 foot game. I can live with him not backchecking if he looks like he’s just going to snipe us to the GMG. But if he’s not going to overwhelm teams offensively, I need him to block a shot or lift a stick in our zone every so often.

2) Can the third line threaten? The criticism of USA seems to be that they’re “top heavy”. Looks like they’ve tried to spread out scoring by putting Moore on the third line. If that line scores, it will be trouble for the rest of the world.

3) Can Hutson play like Buium? If we get two D pairs with a genuine offensive threat, we’ll be set up well. Watching Cole at BU, I’ve seen really good glimpses but I’ve also seen stuff where he tries too hard to make a play that isn’t there. Buium seems to have figured out the balance.

4) I trust that we can skate by bigger teams. Don’t think we’ll get a sense of that today, but I hope we’re not susceptible to getting pushed around later.

My favorite day of the year! Can’t wait.
