WC: USA Roster

[Xokkeu]

I am not an athlete but I can speak when i broke my ankle when I was like 20ish. Basically I was fine for walking around 8 weeks after the fact but I still felt nagging affects for months after it "healed"

It took me almost two years to get my shoulder back to 100% after a rec hockey injury. I have no idea how these guys play at such a high level with legitimate injuries. It's crazy to me.

 

[AmericanDream]

Matthews looks hurt. He's been horrible in the series. Would love to be wrong though and see him in the USA kit dominating.

Anybody want to update me on what we got committed so far. I have been away from the internet for abit.

so far...

Neal Broten
Jeff Panzer
Jeff Taffe
R.J Umberger
Jason Pominvile
Tim Thomas
Mike Komisarek
Jeff Finger

good looking crew so far...hahahaha

honestly, we have nothing so far, as noone has been officially announced.

but off of tweets and what has been reported:

Patrick Kane
Johnny Gaudreau
Dylan Larkin
Chris Kreider
Casey Mittelstadt
Alex DeBrincat
Connor Murphy
Charlie Lindgren

and that is all the names at one point or another that has been at least confirmed by someone. Larkin needs insurance which USA was working with him on, and Gaudreau was with his sick father but reports are he is coming.

hahahaha, knew Umberger would be the one to do it!!

 

[AmericanDream]

also after watching since Stalock has stepped in for the Wild, I would take him 100% for this team...not sure what his contract is, but I see no reason why he would decline if not for that...dude wants to show more of what he can do, he might be the starter here if he comes.

 

[AmericanDream]

now officially availab;e the Wild:

Charlie Coyle
Jason Zucker
Alex Salock
Jordan Greenway
Matt Cullen - 67 years old so gonna say no, but would be cool for him to play

I can see a few of these cats playing...Zucker would be a big help on the wing and Coyle could get a top 6 center spot

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

now officially availab;e the Wild:

Charlie Coyle
Jason Zucker
Alex Salock
Jordan Greenway
Matt Cullen - 67 years old so gonna say no, but would be cool for him to play

Don't need the last two. Stalock to backup Quick, the first two would help the top 9.

 

[AmericanDream]

lots of options starting to form, this team has the chance to be one of our bests possibly ever...if we get a damn goalie!

Matt Cullen play in IIHF WORLDS in 1998,1999 and 2003,2004)

Lol that’s what we always say until they all decline and we get Ryan Lasch.

Hopefully the wild guys want to get the bad taste out of their mouth after getting whitewashed in Winnipeg.

 

[Xokkeu]

If greenway says yes I think you take him. We rarely can fill out a team of NHL level players

 

[SK94]

Zucker is without contract and if Quick is coming we dont need another goalie. Lindgren is good backup for Quick.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

If we get Martinez and Leddy on the blue line, our transition game picks up tremendously...


And of course Quick in net would be monsterous!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Need the D to fill out. Gardiner will come if asked.

Zucker contract up
I'd definitely pass on the rest
Accept for Stalock

It's impressive to pack so much misinformation into so few words.

 

[FultonReed]

I need Kreider and Coyle on a line together. couple of gigantic speedsters.

any chance we see Cory Schneider or Kyle Palmieri?

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Wouldn't shock me if Ghost was hurt FYI, played like crap vs. Pitt.

 

[Arthuros]

Manson has the option to go either Canada or US, I think - he hasn't been on a National team and has a good case for either.

He's got a dual citizenship.

It would be nice to see him in this team but it is probably more likely that he plays for Canada.

 

[William H Bonney]

like Couturier

He's already locked into representing Canada.

Probably will find out tomorrow or Wednesday after the Devil exit days.

I'd be surprised if one of Kinkaid/Schneider doesn't go. Schneider might want a confidence boost if he's fully healed from injury and Kinkaid might hope to bolster his resume considering he would be the starter. Palmieri might. Butcher is another interesting option, since the rest of the younger Devils players who might go are UFA/RFAs this off-season (Coleman, Noesen, Wood).
