Around the League 2019-2026 Edition

He's an Olympic lock. Same as Celebrini. Unless Canada outsmarts itself and think they need more 'leadership" (Meaning far worse talent)

Dobson trade looking great so far.
Also, Habs have the most points from d-men in the league

I still think that was awful asset management by the Habs.

You’d have been much better off if you’d spent two first round picks the way the Leafs did—for a big #4/5 defenseman who can’t play defense, and for a super-elite gudpro veteran 3rd line center who can’t play center or on the third line.
 
Apparently Team Canada execs met today to narrow the list to 35-40. Yzerman was invited in, so I'm guessing that means Celebrini and Bedard won't make it, and we'll get like a random Dawson Mercer added to the team.

I mean, it’s practically a tradition at this point for Team Canada to galaxy-brain themselves into believing that at least one random out-and-out 4th line plug and/or one overly-celebrated gritty defensive specialist should be on the team ahead of infinitely more talented candidates.
 
It's classic old-boy thinking. Reward the players that have given time to Hockey Canada, and especially if they have an existing relationship with the management/coaches.
