After last year’s ignominious loss in the final against Kaapo Kakko and Finland, Team USA is back on the hunt for the noblest of all medals.
To maximize the outcome of the tournament, general manager John Vanbiesbrouck and head coach Scott Sandelin have elected a group of experienced players, all of whom having already been considered in the NHL Draft. If you are one of those people watching the WJC with the intent of getting intel about upcoming draft prospects, Team USA will be an automatic skip for you.
That being said, this is one of the tournament’s most intriguing rosters, if not the most exciting of all.
