Pay wall so just a quick summary.
Canada:
Pelletier makes it (extra), Zary doesn't
USA:
Wolf as backup
Russia:
Both Kuznetsov and Nikolayev make the team |
I think his point on Zary being close is an interesting one. As much as I'd love to see both Pelletier and Zary make it, I doubt both make it. I think Pelletier is closer to 3rd line role that Wheeler thinks. The one I'm excited about is what you missed about Chechelev making as third goalie. Teams ride the hot hand, right now Chechelev is very hot so has a decent chance. Considering how little I know about him besides stats, would be fantastic to see him at world juniors.
