WJC: 2026 Team Usa Roster Talk

[SK94]

Like Motzko and don't like Nightengale? Yeesh, sit this one out

Well, Motzko has a Gold Medal with USA Hockey. Nightingale has a massive failure with one of the most talented American age groups ever. Guy sucked with the NTDP. He may suit better for NCAA but I don't want to see him with USA Hockey ever again. Also I said that I don't hate if they would bring Motzko back but he also wasn't my preference or anything like that. So go elsewhere with your attitude. Especially when you had nothing else to say but criticize someone else's opinions without any real arguments of your own. Typical from losers like you...

Surprised you could see your keyboard with tears coming down your eyes, Bob, Geez.

81 Kyle Connor (1996)-9 Jack Eichel (1996)-19 Matthew Tkachuk (1997)
59 Jake Guentzel (1994)-34 Auston Matthews (1997)-86 Jack Hughes (2001)
12 Matt Boldy (2001)-10 J.T. Miller (1993)-7 Brady Tkachuk (1999)
29 Brock Nelson (1991)-16 Vincent Trocheck (1993)-21 Dylan Larkin (1996)
20 Chris Kreider (1991)

74 Jaccob Slavin (1994)-23 Adam Fox (1998)
8 Zach Werenski (1997)-25 Charlie McAvoy (1997)
15 Noah Hanifin (1997)-14 Brock Faber (2002)
85 Jake Sanderson (2002)
*Quinn Hughes

37 Connor Hellebuyck (1993)
30 Jake Oettinger (1998)
1 Jeremy Swayman (1998)

From 4 Nations, health permitting, bold are locks. Really not much wiggle room on Defense. Fox is probably still pretty safe as well, maybe McAvoy can get dropped but I think you want to bring enough RHD along.

In addition to the unbolded, other possible candidates, and obviously health plays a big part in all of it

Forward:
Tage Thompson
Clayton Keller
Alex Tuch
Jason Robertson
Matthew Knies
Cole Caufield
Alex DeBrincat
Logan Cooley
Patrick Kane

Defense:
Lane Hutson
John Carlson
Luke Hughes
Jackson LaCombe
Alex Vlasic

Goalie:
Dustin Wolf
Anthony Stolarz

Isn't this the 2026 World Junior Thread, not the 2026 Olympics Thread?

Isn't this the 2026 World Junior Thread, not the 2026 Olympics Thread?

Whoops, I blame the thread title vagueness

Whoops, I blame the thread title vagueness

A bunch of thread prefixes got lost in the Great Crash. Just added it back so I hope it's not confusing anymore.
