Any update on what way he's leaning for next season?
He didn't play at Youth Olympics - i'm assuming this was to avoid getting locked in w/ the US for IIHF competition (I say *assuming* b/c it wasn't totally clear to me reading the IIHF regs whether the tournament could lock in a player).
btw - he played for Mission this season, so the thread title should be updated...at least for the next few months.

The Youth Olympics definitely locks a player into a country. That's why is so great that we got guys like Wahlstrom and DeBoer locked in.
I don't think Wahlstrom had a choice of country he couldn't play for anyone other than USA I believe. Wilde is commited to Harvard but, he could choose OHL, NTDP or another USHL team. These are the most likely options.

He was never eligible to play for Sweden - US was his only option.
But thanks for clearing up re YO...the IIHF rules (as I read them) seemed ambiguous on their face...but I figured that there was clarity I didn't know about. On a practical note, the fact Wilde wasn't there was pretty much confirmation.
It will be interesting to see where he is next year. My guess is he ends up with an OHL team of his choosing but we'll see...I really don't know.
Do you know why he moved from Honeybaked to Mission for this season?

Wahlstrom could have theoretically held out of the YOG and then gone to Sweden for two years, couldn't he? Maybe I'm super off becuase I don't know this stuff super well.
But yeah, Wilde definitely wasn't there because he didn't want to lock himself into a nation.
I'm waiting on tenderhooks to see if he accepts an invite to the NTDP.

Wilde was never in consideration for Canada at the YOG. They only looked at players currently playing in Canada.
It's interesting how these kids who are ahead of the pack are usually January birthdays now (McDavid, Day, Veleno, Wilde).

What Gladwell discussed in his book is often misstated and there is a bunch of stuff out there that shows that what he was suggesting is actually inaccurate.
McDavid, Day, & Veleno all consistently played up so were typically the youngest kids on their teams.

Which means if they hadn't been early birthdays that would've been much harder for them to do. If they'd been late birthdays it would've almost been 2 years between them and the guys they were playing against. That's a huge difference and probably not very feasible.
Tavares did it as a late birthday, and Spezza was born in June. It will happen again at some point.
i am not impressed with players born in january and playing " a year up" like above
whats more intriguing in a guy like david Levin who is a september birth month but yet managed to be first overall in ohl draft this past year
and will be eligeable for 2018 draft like folks above
but i digress as i dont think this is the correct thread to discuss

Just off the top of my head 8 or 9 of those folks are courtesy of the NHL American farm system.
if he has not played for USA
got to think hes OHL bound
best exposure ( world jrs) and fastest track to nhl
otherwise will be in the short term passed up for local cdn boys

Thank you Elon!
that's a good move in the "Hockey" sense I would guess
will not go OHL then
question: what happens to the Harvard commitment ?

Code:
The national teams are high school aged kids and usually go straight to their college program after their senior year. The later birth dates will sometimes play another year of juniors.
