Yes, Michael Paliotta will be a sophomore at UVM this year. They might have a recruit on the list too....I'll have to check!

Looks like a promising group, i think the US is going to be a favorite to win it

Like every year it will depend on what CANADA sends. The US and Canada never seem to send their best team simply because NHL clubs are not willing to let them participate.

Who do you think their go to guy will be offensively? Do you think Galchenyuk will be one of the leaders on this team?

Canada is goign to be extremely strong on D and in nets but there is a big chance that Huberdeau, Murray and Hamilton stick with their NHL clubs.

Jonathan Huberdeau - Mark Scheifele - Ryan Strome
Phillip Di Giuseppe - Mark McNiell - Matt Puempel
Philip Danault - Boone Jenner - Ty Rattie
Brenden Gaunce - Nathan McKinon - Thomas Wilson
Sean Monahan

Cody Ceci - Dougie Hamilton
Scott Harrington - Ryan Murray
Nathan Beaulieu - Ryan Murphy
Matthew Dumba

Malcolm Subban
Andrew D'Agostini

Huberdeau is 95% a NHL player next year. the other 5% would be if he had a horrible camp, preseason, or gets injured. You might as well take him off that first line because he's going to be a stud in the NHL next year.

Take a look at Vincent Trocheck, not having him on the roster is kind of shocking considering you're "expertise" in the hockey world. Especially with USA junior teams. Trocheck is a stud, Year to year he has improved like no other.

2009-10 Saginaw Spirit OHL 68GP 15G 28A 43PTS
2010-11 Saginaw Spirit OHL 68GP 26G 36A 62PTS
2011-12 Saginaw Spirit OHL 65GP 29G 56A 85PTS

I like Trocheck and have seen him play quite a bit with Saginaw and at this camp last year, but I'm not sold on him just yet. There are a lot of open spots at forward this year since there are so few returning players and I wouldn't be surprised if he earns one, but in my mind he's not penciled in just yet.

don't all of these guys have alegit shot at making their respective nhl clubs?

Not sure about Gaunce, but that whole 1st line has a good shot at staying in the NHL, along with Murray and possibly Murphy

Not Gaunce but the remainder yes. That's why I said that they would likely stick with their NHL clubs.

It's a problem USA and Canada have faced for a while. The truly good players stay in the NHL. I mean imagine if Canada could still send Nugent-Hopkins, Couturier, Andrew Shaw.

Anyway, it's my favorite tournament for hockey. Love the passion these kids play and cannot wait to see what Galchenyuk is going to do.

isn't Beaulieu too old?

isn't Beaulieu too old?
- DoubleDown

Don't think so. Last season he was selected as an "under age player" because it is a 19 year old tournament.

does Steven Fogarty have a legit shot at making this team?

Gaunce could make the NHL, solid 2 way center, if anything i could see him make it before most of the other guys

Nope, too young.

Xavier Ouellet should be there though.

He's indeed too old, as he would be an overager this year in the 'Q. He wasn't an underaged player. He already played 4 years of Junior being a Late birthday.
