Ghostsof1915 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 So what kind of team will the US and Canada get? AHLer's? Guys playing in Euro Leagues? Junior hockey players? A mix of World Junior team and Spengler Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior hockey players? A mix of World Junior team and Spengler Cup? I am guessing more of a Spengler Cup type squad. I imagine all players that belong to an NHL team will be off limits, even AHL'ers and drafted juniors. Maybe some college guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostsof1915 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Got to remember the 1980 US team was all US college guys. Jim Craig the US goalie had the best save %, and most wins, and second best GAA. Guys like Neal Broten were the cornerstones of that team. You get the right mix, you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm intrigued to see how WD does with a skilled team. It's hard to evaluate his season in the AHL or NHL especially, because we put together a rubbish team. Sure he made questionable decisions but every coach does in the NHL, and of course they didn't pay off. I don't expect Green to take this team to the playoffs so a coaching change won't make too much of a difference, but I'd love to see what WD could do behind another team to get a proper feel for how he actually is. Funny how there was a big hype between Sullivan and WD coming into the NHL. Sullivan coaches two generational elite players and wins the Cup. WD coaches a trash team and gets fired. It's always hard to compare, but I honestly think with all the injuries in Pittsburgh, Sullivan did a lot more than people assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
