Sanheim over Weegar is interesting as well.

Torts sure knows how to squeeze as much as he can out of every player

Wednesday marks the unveiling for the NHL's 4 Nations Face-Off rosters. Who will play for the USA, Canada, Finland and Sweden?

www.usatoday.com

Rest of the rosters for the 4 nations face off seem set. Surprised on:
-Arvidsson made it on Sweden over Eklund or Zetterlund
-Nelson & Kreider made it over Caufield or Tage Thompson

I like what Cirelli brings (this year) but I am leery of Guys brought for their defense only. Despite a great start this year, Cirelli's best year ever was last year at 45 points. Zaumner when he went to the Olympics was coming off his best year ever of 50 points and a great world championship the previous spring.
Guys ho historically are closer to 0.5 PPG that go on a hot streak and put up PPG over 20 games are still not PPG players.

This may work out but there is more risk in taking a Cirelli over a Thomas or a Suzuki

But gold medal teams have had Kris Draper, Maltby, Brendan Morrow. Pretty normal for Team Canada to have a couple of roll players

Weegar is overrated as shit

Weegar is overrated as shit

Weegar is one of the most underrated players in the league imo. Exactly what this team needs on the backend.

LHD vs RHD?

Height 6.02, so forget about it.

Anytime anyone encounters mental health issues they are ostracized.

 

[DackellDuck]

Why did Columbus dump Laine again?

I think he asked for a trade and the team agreed it was best to part ways.

He plays like he's 6.03 though...

Interesting.

I'm curious to know how much WWE contributed. I just watched the Vince McMahon documentary on Netflix and they completely disregarded the theory that wrestlers were getting concussed. After some negative press, they flipped the script, but my guess was that they weren't doing a lot, thought it was just a mirage.

Just looking at teams that could have an abundance of D - prospects or otherwise. Once Marino and Durzi come back, Utah could fit the bill.

That is very sad tbh
