it will actually have less talent than a World Championship

Actually it's good maybe the United States will be able to medal now, or, more importantly, maybe Canada will not medal

It's gonna be funny when Canada fields a Spengler Cup caliber team at the SK Olympics

It's gonna be the Rasmus Dahlin show though which is pretty cool.

It's even funnier because this is the best group of young American talent on forward probably ever

To clarify: the NHL will not accommodate the Olympics in their schedule, but individual players can still go if they choose and are able to work poo poo out with their club?

USA has finally started to catch up to Canada (just look at team NA for the world cup, majority American) and now they take away the olympics lol

Just cancel hockey at the Olympics now. Canada becomes the eternal champions of Olympic hockey.

Alternatively, let the Canadian women's team play in the men's tournament as well.

The NHL really can't help being as myopic and short-sighted as possible if somebody dangles a few dollars in front of them, so all this dumb poo poo is just going to keep happening.
