Another troubling thing from one of your earlier posts in which John Collins was quoted re: future tournaments, is that player eligibility could become less restrictive, i.e. player X can play for his ancestral country and not just the country in which he was born, raised, learned his skills and oh ya, holds citizenship, but he will be freed up to join whatever team his parents/grandparents or great grandparents called home at some point in their family tree. The Family Tree Cup. I can see one particular website lining up for sponsorship of this doozy of a marketing gong show. LOL. This is just becoming more ridiculous and amateurish every time these slick N.Y. City lawyers open their mouths. Luongo can suit up for Italy. Todd Bertuzzi will come out of retirement to join him. Team France will enter a team and boast 3 players who were actually born and raised in France, the rest made of Quebecers not quite good enough. Maybe Scotland would like their own team and can convince Nathan MacKinnon to suit up for them. Oh, and by the way, in 4 years from now McDavid will still be too young to play for Team Canada... but that okay, as it won't be Team Canada anyway, it will be referred to as the Colonies or Team British North America. Team USA will be known as the Paul Revere Revolutionaries. The Revolutionaries will play all their prelim games on an outdoor rink near Boston harbor. Anybody up for a spot of tea?
This is where this **** fest is going. and I'll have no part of it.
