Drysdale, Sillinger, Jarvis, Byfield, Stutzle, Reichel, Raymond are the first that come to mind

Brandt Clarke

Now I’ve gotta think of all the studs that got cut for no reason. Thank goodness Clarke is eligible next year.

 

[Mathieukferland]

Matthew & Carter Savoie

That one really hit me when I read it.

Thomas Bordeleau is now out for USA due to injury.

As well as Perreault with that passport mixup.

Big hit for Team USA if he is truly out. Others will have to seriously step up like Beniers did last year.

Peterka is not on the German team, deemed more important for his development per the reporting on the German press release.

Reichel also

Reichel also

Yep, Brooksie mentioned him in the second post. Sad because that line has been entertaining to watch.

Indeed, Germany also missing a decent draft eligible in Lutz. That game against Austria is going to be a battle

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Bordeleau has the worst WJC luck ever. Missed last year cause of a false positive test, and now he actually (supposedly) tested positive.

Germany could have an utterly dominant first line this year in Stützle - Reichel - Peterka but none will attend the WJC for various reasons.

It may suck for this tournament but look at bright side. 3 2002 borns are nhl bound this season (Stutzle obviously already there). That’s remarkable

Unlucky guy. Last he year he had covid if I remember correctly.

Nick Malik declined after playing for us for 2 straight tourneys.

Thats why its shocking for me that they did not take out any 2004 born. Like Lutz, Ketcher, M.Elias, Hauf. And 2003 born Hänelt.

Anyways Germany still have a pretty strong first line with Alexander Blank and Florian Elias.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Samu Salminen (NJD), Joni Jurmo (VAN), Matias Rajaniemi (NYI), Samu Tuomaala (PHI).

Simon Robertsson (STL)

Declined? Why?

 

[Czechboy]

Declined? Why?

Would rather stay in Finnish liiga where he is doing very well. Said if he left for that long that he might lose his spot.

My version is that he is a prima Donna like Zacha.

Third version is that the Czech federation pisses off people along the way. Zacha is similar. So was Barinka who is a former national head coaches grandson and declined last year.

 

[Antiillafire]

Declined? Why?

Same reason as Matej Galbavy denied us a few years ago. Although Malik is a much higher rated prospect which makes Galbavy’s decision in retrospect even more hilarious

 

[Paralyzer008]

Russia went full-on "no North Americans please"

so no Yan Kuznetsov, Daniil Chayka, Matvey Petrov, Daniil Gushchin

Raty now out for Finland.

And what was the reason? Cant remember.
