Ya. Sanheim seems like a solid bottom pairing pick. Tonnes of minutes, and by all accounts is turning into a great two way blueliner.

I just don't see why Pareyko makes it other than Doug Armstrong in his corner. Size. Apparently he's extremely fast? But he's been pretty mid

Time will tell, and obviously Cooper had input, but the TB guys are absolutely deserving. Hagel has 29 points in 23 games, Cirelli has 23 in 23 games and is known for great defensive play, and Point has 21 in 19 games, including 16 goals.

The fact this is only four teams makes it less interesting. I just want to see the big three in Canada play. Whether they win or not I don’t care.

The US skipping Thompson and Caulfield is baffling to me.

Hockey Canada needs to have a state of emergency on goaltending. Time to start focusing on kids who want to play net and excel and make sure the parents aren't worrying about the equipment. That is shameful netminding.

Ya, if I had a kid going through hockey right now there's 0 chance I'm paying to get them new equipment every year as they grow. Least desirable position and far and away the most expensive to play

McDavid, McKinnon and Pietrangelo with roating A's.

This is more like a world championship squad. Parayko is embarrassing. Blues have been trying to give him away.

The whole 4 nations is a waste of time. It’s like an exhibition series.

TV ratings will tell the story of how interested Canadians are.

Im guessing they will be huge numbers.

Even bigger % wise in Sweden and Finland.

I suspect Scheifele is banged up and wants time off.

Bennett is being rewarded for having a career year so far. The only Canadian forwards I can think of that are out pointing him and not on the team are DuChene, McMichael, Suzuki and Nylander. He’s tied with McCann as well. Personally I take Nylander but it’s not a big deal.

Sure, people will watch, but no one will lose sleep over it.

William Nylander? He was one of Sweden's 6 initial roster picks.
