I liked team Europe a lot better than 4-5 non-competitive teams or the elimination of great players who don’t have a country that can field a complete team.
I doubt you’d get a Team NA under 25 any more. That was just to justify having Matthews in, who hadn’t played any pro hockey yet (and arguably McDavid’s half season didn’t guarantee him a Canada spot either).
