The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
This just struck me as I was redoing my alignements for Russia and USA, but is there a chance Troy Terry wasn’t named to the long list? I was going to include him but seeing that he didn’t have a point until October 18th and the long list was due October 15th, I would have a hard time believing he would have been included based off his season last year…. I understand the anti-doping controls but the long list is counter-productive for this reason

Probably Jack Hughes, Brock Boeser, and Jeff Petry.

Tbh - over the years I can’t follow the league as much as I would have liked to, especially living in Italy. I don’t love our center’s. Like at all.

were there any prospects who should have filled these gaps? Maybe Keller comes to mind?

Eichel likely being out is a bummer and we don't compare to Canada but we can muster up four to five really good centers led by Matthews.

I hope Jack Hughes comes back in time to prove he's ready to be 2C on a team like this. Would be great if either him or a guy like Zegras picked up their play enough to fill the gap left by Eichel.

So elite everything but C after Matthews? Any concerns about the dropoff? Not that I think Miller, Nelson or Larkin are bad in anyway..

Yes, there is a drop-off after Matthews with Eichel out but Larkin and Miller are both capable and having very good years. Nelson is also having a good season even though he's not a huge overall offensive threat. I'd consider Hughes if healthy as well.

If Hughes is healthy and playing well I think he makes the team, especially with the expanded roster. You could also slot him in on the wing as well.

Sweden's Olympic jerseys just came out today.

Leave it to them to be the ones who understand you don't try to fix something that ain't broke.

To me, the U.S already has their ideal uniforms, at least in their whites anyway, that Lake Placid (or was it another Olympics?) throwback one is gorgeous, and not only that but it stands for tradition. They should use them all the time IMO.

Zegras with a 2 pt game today, now at 19GP, 6 G, 8A, 14PTS. 9PTS in last 6 games. He’s recovering from his slow start and probably be at a PPG by Christmas.

Think he’s on track to make the team now with Eichel’s chances being back very slim.
 
Tage Thompson could be a big body and shot this team need. Really nice to see him breaking out too.

Why are Eichel’s chances very slim?
 
I still have a hard time seeing Seth Jones as a lock to play.

Fox and McAvoy are the clear 2 best RD, I would prolly take Carlson over Jones, and there's a legit possibility that they bring Pesce and keep him with Slavin.

Same with Hughes on the other side.

I would roll with Slavin, Mcdonaugh, and Werenski.

Mcdonaugh/Fox
Werenski/McAvoy
Slavin/???
