I'm excited to see the best players in the world play....
I think the 23U team and the Euros is an interesting concept and helps increase the competitive balance of the tourney.
I'd rather see these 2 concept teams than a weak Slovakia and Switzerland squads with just a handful of stars.
Lots of Flames in play so it should be fun.
Have to to think Gaudreau, Monahan, Hamilton, Hudler, and Frolik are locks for their respective teams (despite Hudler's previous snub)
Giordano and Brodie are strong considerations
Backlund and Bennett have a decent chance.
Hiller, Smid and even Nakladal have an outside chance.
