Tweet from Bob McKenzie, "Shocking, I know, but Seguin, Skinner, Nugent-Hopkins, Johansen, Couturier, not being released to Canada's nat'l junior" . It doesn't look like Gudbranson will be released either.
Good lord at that list of players...whenever Canada loses at the WJC I am reminded of how badly we would obliterate every team if our best players weren't in the NHL. The fact that we can't field our best team makes the tournament exciting and interesting because there is actually a chance we'll lose.
Looove the WJCs, they are probably my favourite thing about the holidays.
