I'm interested to see how they fill out the rosters of these teams.
Do most AHL players have two-way contracts? Seems like that'd be a commitment to an NHL team.
It would be kind of cool if every four years the WJC was skipped and they played in the Olympics instead. Amateurs and all that! I know I'd be a hell of a lot more interested in that than Canada fielding another Spengler Cup kind of team.
Those darn Russians, with a roster full of KHL players, seem like they would be the early favourite if it wasn't a junior tournament (which is a pipe dream anyway).
