World Cup: Canada 4 Nations Tournament 2025 Roster Talk

[Dirtyf1ghter]

I would disagree. This, like the late 90s, is a golden generation for the states of draft years 2015-2019. Ever since then, the players thar they have produced from the preceding drafts have been good, but there are no superstars in there. And Canada is likely to go on a run where they have their best ever drafts over the next 18 months, topped off by perhaps the best ever WHL class (off the back off the academies which have become absolute player factories), whilst it looks incredibly weak for the usa. Both NTDP teams got battered by the WHC17 and CHL teams this year. And I ultimatley think that the NCAA/CHL agreement will hurt american players by taking away spots and top roles from them in NCAA.

You look at the rank in the draft without looking at the level in the NHL.

The best Canadians of 2020 (Lafreniere, Byfield) are not at the expected level. Faber and Sanderson are better than them. Only Jarvis is on their level.

2021 : Power is not as strong as hoped, Knies joins Hughes and Beniers in a top 10 redraft

2022 : Cooley and Hutson are the two best players from this draft, Casey has already ridden a lot

2023 : Bedard is already not that strong. Leonard, Perreault, Musty has leveled up

2024 : Cole Hutson would already be much higher in a redraft. Buium and Connelly are seen higher too. Several Canadians selected very high have dropped in the evaluations.

In the last Atom and Pee Wee tournaments that I saw (players born in 2012-2013-2014), I generally found the American elite better than the Canadian elite.

It is not with a demographic 10 times lower and a fertility rate of 1.2 children/woman that Canada will resist the rise of American hockey.

I’m talking to you about actual players that are coming. We have been hearing about Canadas downfall since the 90’s lol it isn’t going to happen…other countries are absolutely improving though. Not mutually exclusive.

I see much further. I see in 20 years-30 years. The 2005-2009 generation will only slow down an illusion.

Ah well damn only a few decades to go.

It's funny how hilarious the shit talk was. Apparently to many of the USA hockey fans this game suddenly is "stupid" and "doesn't mean anything"

It meant a lot last weekend.

They're full of shit............as usual.
