Weak at center, if the wingers don't get the puck they won't be breaking anything.

Good observation. That's exactly what they're trying to do.
And here I thought I was Isaac Nootin!
Lind gets cut yesterday, then proceeds today to have a hat trick.

Could've been a good team. Glass, Tippett, Rasmussen, Suzuki, Lind, DiPietro and Cholowski/Mahura should've made it
Not as good as last year, a bit overrated, they aren't strong all the way through like Canada, might have a game breaker though.

People put too much into Draft Pedigree.

The coach of team Canada was giving an interview and he said something that makes total sense. When picking players for u20 he is not picking players based on potential 2 years from now, he is picking players who are ready to play now. (Something like that) as when NHL teams pick via the draft for potential
That's why I'm guessing draft pedigree was second to what the players are now.
Made sense
Would be nice OC if the NHL lent some more players, which is still possible, 4 more days to do so.

Suzuki is about the only cut im not a fan of. Always need guys that put up points as an extra in case someone gets hurt.
I still think this team is strong

To me it’s
1- Finland
2- USA
3- Sweden
4- Canada
5- Russia (I don’t have a good read on their roster yet so they could be higher)

For Canada to win gold Carter Hart has to be the best goaltender in the tournament. It has been a long time since Canada has had the best goalie at the WJC.
Rather have
Suzuki
Glass
Lind
than
Comtois
Formenton
Gadjovich
But other than that I like the team.

Lind: ***gets cut***goes back to Junior*** scores hattrick in return***
Sigh.
Frost and Rasmussen had themselves really great games today, too. Still, people are overreacting about the forwards. Looks speedy and well balanced with a lot of goal scoring ability mixed with grit and a few high-skill players on top.

Not impressed with this team at all...
the good news is, the last time I disliked a Canadian WJC team this much was in 2006. And we all know how that tournament ended.
an awful lot is going to have to go right for this team and overachieve. The goaltenders, especially Hart, are going to have to deliver. There is zero room for error as the offense may not score 20 goals the entire tournament.
