Yeah. The 2nd youngest player in the league on the worst team.The guy who's putting up 62 point pace right now?
That’s the guy.

Cirelli was literally the shutdown C for Tampa for the last 6 years...3 cup finals, and back to back cups....how can anyone think he wouldn't help Canada. He literally played against the best NHL players for 16 straight playoff rounds.
Like I said, I’d have gone with Bedard.
We’ll see how it goes. It may not matter at all.
And that’s fine. Like I said, I didn’t expect it.It's not like Team Canada wouldn't love to name him.
He screwed up his shot on the team (if he doesn't make it) by having a poor season relative to expectations of him.
And that’s fine. Like I said, I didn’t expect it.
But I’d have taken him.
It’s such a short window though… he had a dozen games where he didn’t do much and apart from that he’s a point per game this season.Maybe he does still make it as a auxiliary forward or something but if so it's probably more for marketing reasons.
Dude isn't even on pace for 20 goals right now.
Dobson is the better all around defenceman. Taking Bouchard over him is just sillyDobson over Bouchard is just silly

Fine for Oilers brass as it likely knocks 500k at least off his AAV on an extension.
Noah Dobson is having a shit season though yikes, -9 on a defensive Islanders team that has a great goalie, that's horribad and only 11 points in 26 games.
A 25 game sample size doesn’t erase the 290 game sample size that shows that wasn’t a sustainable level of play.Actually, he isn't even that much better.
However, go look at Bouchs play in the playoffs thus far.....Dobson doesn't even come close to that level of dominance
I would've taken Weegar or Tanev over Parayko though. They can do the same job defensively while being better at moving the puck.
Did I read correctly? Tanev a better puck mover then Parayko? That must be a joke right? Right?Team Canada typically leans into defense and risk-free games so not surprised Bouchard didn't make the cut.

This might be the first time I’ve read Tanev and puck mover in the same sentence. Tanev is many things but I don’t think he’s been known as a puck moverDid I read correctly? Tanev a better puck mover then Parayko? That must be a joke right? Right?

Tanev is a very under rated puck mover. Better then Parayko I would say.Did I read correctly? Tanev a better puck mover then Parayko? That must be a joke right? Right?
Bedard and Suzuki should have been on there. Bennett and Cirelli, really?
Aside from Fox and Hughes, who on the projected U.S. defense is small?Yea, Parayko is the guy on the list that, on its surface, makes the least sense.
Along with the Sanheim pick, maybe they are really looking for size to deal with the rumored American selections. On that note, the US D looks a little smallish does it not?
This tournament is going to be a glorified all-star game anyways, so may as well lean into it.Are you trying to win a skills competition or a hockey tournament?
Canucks fan who's watched Tanev for years.Tanev is a very under rated puck mover. Better then Parayko I would say.
