For what it's worth, I don't think there's any question that the NA U-23's are going to become everyone's second favourite team and I think it's going to be alot of fun. I understand the injury concerns but the experience Monahan/Gaudreau and potentially Hamilton will get playing vs the best in the world is invaluable and far more beneficial than anything they will get out of training camp at this point in their career.

I'm cheering for the NA U23 team all the way. I'll cheer for Team Canada too if Gio/Brodie are on there, but if not, I actually wouldn't even care about Team Canada to be honest. This isn't some international tournament where country pride is on the line, it's just a preseason tournament put together by the NHL to make more money.
Can't wait to watch it though. I think the NA U23 team is going to be super fun to watch. Might turn into a crazy track meet.
