Who will be missing in WJCH 2018

[alko]

There are always top guys, that were omitted from the WJCH. At least, many fans think so.

For example, in Sweden team we will not find Adam Boqvist. A dynamic offensive defenceman, according to his profile on Eliteprospects. Future top 5 pick in 2018 NHL draft.

We, Slovak fans, are also missing some guys. Mostly from USHL (Valach, Pospisil, Lacka), QMJHL (Patrik Hrehorcak) or Sweden (Matej Galbavy). But they are far from star status.

Who are the other guys,you will be missing?

Well, Jesper Bratt who's having an impact season for NJ comes to mind. Now that Alexander Nylander has been cleared for play, he's off the list.

Patrik Laine
Jesse Puljujärvi

I actually didn't know that Boqvist wasn't going to be on Sweden. Thats pretty disappointing. I was hoping to get a better look at him cause he looks really dynamic in his highlights.

Nick Suzuki
Cody Glass

This is my first WJC to attend live. I was really forward to seeing Clayton Keller.

I attended the 2011 tournament in Buffalo and had a really good time. Enjoy yourself.

Keller for the US.
I think Sergachev might still be eligible, but Im too lazy to look him up right now.

usa isnt missing a lot. i looked at the 2016 draft for americans and its amazing how many top players were born in december 1997. tkachuk, mcavoy, kunin, debrincat missed out on eligbility for this tourney by less than a month.

For me Nolan Patrick

This omission really irks me. The Flyers should have let him play at the WJC instead of sitting on the bench in Philly.
