    What players are you looking forward to seeing at the tourney this year?

    The obvious:

    Ryan Strome, Seth Jones, the Nuge (if sent).

    How about some sleepers?

    Ohhh I have lots (assuming they make the cut), mostly overseas players.

    Valery Nickushkin, and Pavel Buchnevich come to mind right away

    I want to see what Lehkonen is all about and Andre Burakowsky.

    On defence, Hagg and Ristolainen.

    From the US; I have never, ever, seen De La Rose actually play so I'm looking forward to see if he can make the team too.

    I'm excited to see all of these young players. I haven't made any effort at all to watch any of these guys except for one game from that Russia/Canada thing during the summer. Gonna be sweet to watch!

    I'll state the obvious as a homer and say Scheifele. I don't get to see his development near enough, but the few times I have seen him he's looked great. Plus, he played with an incredible edge in the summer against Russia, and I hope he brings that same sandpaper along with him to the World Juniors.

    Not really a sleeper, but that's my pick.

    Seth Jones is definitely someone I am looking forward to seeing play. I have yet to actually see him play yet so I am looking forward to seeing the hype.

    I am also hoping that both MacKinnon and Drouin make the Canadian roster. Those two are electric together.

    As much as I would like to see Nuge play for Canada, I would much rather see him in his Oilers jersey by that time. If not, it will be fun to watch him play for Canada. I still remember when Bergeron played for Canada during the last lockout. He and Crosby were fun to watch together. They dominated that tourney (Canada in general did, but those 2 stood out the most to me). I can see Nuge having the same type of impact.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    I so wish this tournament to again be played in Buffalo - the sooner the better. Just a great experience for me and my wife.

    Agreed there. Bunch of buddies and I had a blast last year going to the juniors in Buffalo. The non-premier matchups were very reasonably priced too, so ended up staying for two days and four games.

    As usual, the local watering holes were fun, and the fans were way more interesting to chat with than those at the ACC or Scotiabank Place !
