Kinda want him to end up in Vancouver, but that's not likely either.

It's kinda neat if Van draft him given that he is hometown boy.

No thank you. We dont need a Division with McDavid and Bedard in it. At some point this BS has to stop!

For the league it's probably ideal for him to end up in Chicago or Philly. Marketable markets locally and nationally.

Flames fans wanting him to got to our 1B rival is mind bottling

maybe you forget how annoying their fans can be because they have been so bad for so long and the usual suspects don't show their faces much

Loved seeing Guenther succeed. He was my favourite in junior hockey. Congratulations to the boys on gold.

We should be gracious when we win, especially when replying to friendly fans from the other country. We aren’t Coil fans.

Plus, when your country hasn’t medaled in 17 years, hell ya silver is something to be proud of.

This sounds like a memory shared in someone's therapy session about how their dad messed up their happiness for decades to come.

I get it. To win silver in an event where you are pitted head to head against an opponent means you had to lose that event. In the moment it sucks to lose. Later on when you've had a chance to reflect, 2nd place isn't anything to scoff at. If you can't get that then you have work to do.

Thomas Milic is undrafted and is now too old to be drafted. He can sign as a free agent with any team that wants to take a flyer on him, this tournament may have helped him a lot in that regard.

Players must be over 18 by September 15 and under 20 by December 31. Milic will be 20 in April. So wouldn't that make him too old for the draft?

Non North Americans can be over the age of 20 but he is Canadian born.
