I think the US will be pretty similar in 2026 and 2028, with hopefully the 4th line swapped out for guys like Tuch, Robertson, Thompson, Keller.
2030 is where it might get interesting, with the 2014-2016 draft classes going to be 32-33 years old, and quite a few talented Americans in their primes:
Cooley, Knies, Smith, Leonard, Hagens, Boldy, Hughes, Gauthier, Caufield, maybe Zegras turns his game around.
That's 7 through Hughes to go with Matthews, Eichel, the Tkachuks, Larkin and maybe Keller.
2030 defense I'm thinking probably a Q. Hughes, McAvoy, Sanderson, Faber top 4 with L. Hughes and maybe somebody like Vlasic on the 3rd pair (he's impressed me when I've seen him in the NHL) if one of them can play the off-side.

After a decade of disappointing drafts, the pipeline is still looking *chef’s kiss*
