Whether the 6 is announced in June or September/October, wouldn’t they still get the dollars.?

Definitely agree on its dumb.

Extra time for jersey sales and hype is how I'm reading it. I'm no marketing guru (if I were I might have made a lot more money in my lifetime), but I don't see why that wouldn't be it, otherwise they wouldn't do it I guess.

Why do they gain money by naming 6 players now?

Edit:

Ugh.When will I learn ro read the entire thread before asking a question?

 

[Antiillafire]

Slafkovsky
Cernak
Nemec
Fehervary
Pospisil
Tatar

 

[PistolPete]

I'ma gonna give Germany a try since Canada will habe 1087 entries...

Stützle
Draisaitl
Peterka
Seider
..........

Why is it these names look like a Smith or Jones to me yet Czech and Slovak names look like scrabble pieces were cast to come up with the names?

Reichel and grubauer

 

[JackSlater]

Crosby
McDavid
MacKinnon
Point
Reinhart
Makar

Something like that. I could see Morrissey rather than Reinhart, maybe even Marner.

 

[PistolPete]

Reichel and grubauer

Yes

Those names look like a Smith or Jones to me too.

 

[ORRFForever]

Crosby
McDavid
MacKinnon
Point
Reinhart
Makar

Everyone but Reinhart - Reinhart could still be there but not 100%.
Maybe Bennett?

 

[ORRFForever]

Eichel
Matthews
Tkachuk
Tkachuk
Q.Hughes
McAvoy

[IronHookem]

Nylander
Forsberg
Hedman
Karlsson
Forsling
Landeskog

Basically 4 Nations minus Zibanejad.

Oilers win Cup
Czechia wins Olympic gold
Czechia wins WHC gold

If only one could happe, which would you choose?

Czech Olympic gold at a best on best.

Tie between Czechs at world's (I love the world's) and Oilers cup.

The current dream is oil come back and win because Czechs won gold a year ago at world's.

No chance for upcoming Olympics though.. hoping to win the playin only to lose in quarter.

 

[Mike C]

For the U.S.:

Hellebuyck
Matthews
Eichel
M. Tkachuk

Werenski
