What is world's best player going to do once the season ends? According to his teammate - he will continue playing hockey.

In a chat with hockeysverige.se Edmonton Oilers defensemen, Oscar Klefbom revealed that he has had talks with his fellow teammates about what some of them will do once the regular season ends.

It appears as two of the prominent Team Canada names will be in Denmark to wear their flag on their sleeve representing team Canada. Those two are Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.

''I know that Connor is preparing to go to the World Championships and I believe that Ryan will do the same'' Klefbom said.

When asked if it was ''official'' Klefbom answered with uncertainty:''I don't know, but they are saying that they will be going, if Hockey Canada will reach out to them.''

The 2018 IIHF Men's World Hockey Championship will be played in Herning and Copenhagen, Denmark.

The tournament consists of 16 teams; two groups of eight. Canada is in Group B along with Latvia, Finland, United States, Norway, Germany, Denmark and South Korea.

All Team Canada games will be broadcast live on TSN and streamed on TSN.ca
