If you sit Knuble, you're down to 5 natural wingers.

Briere needs to play center, so I'd keep Knuble. Dude was arguably the best RW we've had since Renberg.

Knuble was good, cant argue that.

Then why is Carter above Briere? Thats ridiculous. He was a playoff monster

Having alot of Centers on the wing isn't a bad thing. See Team Canada 2014 Sochi

Counting those chickens--might want to wait to see if they can get a shot behind Quick before you start celebrating.

oh yeah, the obligatory: 'Murica, (frank) YEAAAAHHH!!!! and yada yada...you guys are our hat or whatever...

One thing I will say is that I am not looking forward to playing the US. Imagine a line of Brown - Backes - Callahan... yikes. Better have the ice bath ready post game.

If Quick can play to his potential if he wins the starting job then I think U.S.A wins it.

BUT! Team Canada will have an even better roster this time around adding the likes of Giroux, Stamkos, Tavares. but they also dont have Pronger and Niedermeyer.

The defense doesn't worry me but I am worried about the goaltending. I think Team Canada will be very fast and force a lot of teams into taking penalties, we will have to score a lot of goals to win, that's for sure.

I know you asked about Barkov, I do remember them mentioning that he was placed above Monahan orginally. My guess is that is where he remained, just above Morin.

But I agree, I would have liked to hear more debate and less Chris Pryor saying we need more debate and showing a minute of awkward silence before any debate happened.

76'ers buy NJ.. trade all prospects and top players to Philly for salary dumps...

Then NJ wins the cup... bc they're the masters of taking a bunch of nothing and making something..

Things the state of New Jersey does not need:

1.) A big arena in Newark.
2.) It's own sports teams.

Which of those 2 made the team? All I know is Carter was much more effective as a center, and Briere disappeared on the wing. Primeau's defensive game better suits playing center. Forsberg has got to be a center.

All I know is that Briere is much better than Carter. Positions were never mentioned. Just says forwards....
