WC: TEAM USA

[Rabid Ranger]

He's an RFA, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Kreider has played at the WC fairly often. Trouba used to as well but it's been awhile. Fox only played once as a college player. Lindgren has never played. Trocheck never shows up.

Only positive is a few guys who have been willing to show up here multiple times or some younger guys who haven't played much if at all in the tournament. Hopefully at least a 1-2 have the itch and aren't injured.

We'll probably just end up with Jimmy Vesey.

Tyler Motte!

Tyler Motte!

Look at you getting greedy and going after UFAs, haha

 

[MTU34]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned here but Commesso will officially be on the roster

Nice find. He was someone most of us figured would be on the team from the get go. Glad to see it finally confirmed.

cpt.America mr. Patrik Kane is free, he loves to play for U.S. How about Johnny Hockey ? .. i hope roster will annouce soon maybe today ?

That's the biggest issue with figuring out prospective players.

Even when they have an 8 year contract set they barely show lol

 

[AmericanDream]

Colin Blackwell from the Hawks would be a welcome add. Came before has 1 year to go on contract would be a solid pker and 3rd or 4th line center. Surprised his name not mentioned.

 

[Mickey the mouse]

Sonny Milano would be a solid add

I thought guys like Sheary and Dowd would make their Team USA debuts but it is very quiet. The Penguins pretty much the only team that has leaked information about who is going.

 

[William H Bonney]

Forward Blake Lizotte...left open the possibility, with Lizotte implying it was something he would put some thought into today...

Forward Trevor Moore and defenseman Matt Roy both indicated they would turn down any potential invitation for personal reasons, with Moore’s naturally including the recent birth of his son.

2023 Exit Interviews - Extension Talks, Injury Updates, World Championships Decisions - LA Kings Insider

Crazy how quickly we flip the switch. This morning, the Kings held their 2023 Exit Interviews at Toyota Sports Performance Center in El Segundo, just over 12 hours after the 2022-23 season came to an end in Game 6 yesterday evening. No sense in waiting. For the second straight season, the Kings...

Newborns, bumps & bruises, contract status, and intellectual curiosity-the nadir of the USA Hockey team selection process.

 

[SK94]

Lot of info from Rangers regarding their Europeans but nothing really about our guys...

 

[William H Bonney]

As expected. K'andre Miller declines

 

[NA Hockey]

I have heard that Cutter Gauthier and Dylan Samberg are joining Team USA.

 

[WarriorofTime]

USA should really be over college players. Their season has been over for a while, they are young and would probably be excited about the possibility about traveling to another country and representing the national team since they would mostly be graduated from the junior teams already.

Bit off-topic but is there any news regarding Gauthier going back to BC?

I'd take those two for sure!

Pretty sure it’s been confirmed that he’s going back

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Sad but agreed

 

[William H Bonney]

Both solid additions. We're finally starting to hear about the college players after we'd only heard about Luke Tuch originally now with Commesso and Gauthier playing. I imagine we'll see a couple more. Hopefully Cooley is on board and it's just not out there yet.

We finally have a defenseman!

They usually are and we usually hear about the college players signing on pretty early in the process. Not sure if the difference this go around is because everything has been so quiet across the board or if they're now tapping college players later than normal because the NHL acceptances have been tough to get.

I mean....yeesh, talk about cutting it close. I expect a very young team with a few surprise vets on their last legs. This will be one hell of a Motley Crew...

 

[WarriorofTime]

Realistically, they just need to hold off Denmark, France, Austria and Hungary in the group stage and hopefully avoid Canada in the cross-over (USA is in the harder group this year), and they have a good chance to reach the Semis if they match up with like a Switzerland or Slovakia again.

 

[SK94]

Walman was not among the 11 first players who were leaked from Canadian roster.. Maybe he joined us after all.
