A Canada-US home-and-away would be pretty sweet. I'm sure Sweden-Finland would be the same.

Vancouver-Seattle, Toronto-Buffalo/Detroit, or Montreal-Boston with a day in between (since there's no chance they'll go b2b) would be cool.

Do a summit series so Canada can take down the evil American empire like they did the evil Soviet empire.

That would kick so much rear end. By game 8 you'd get crazy poo poo like Marner losing his mind and going Bobby Clarke on Auston.

There are actually enough Czechs in the NHL to do it, I guess they just didn't want to have odd numbers. There are five Czech goalies and 21 skaters who have played so far this year. It would've definitely been the weakest roster, they have a few guys that made me say "who?", but they have enough solid top-end players I think they could maybe steal a game from someone if their goalie got hot.

This is just players who have played at elast a game this year according to the NHL site. I'm not sure if there are other guys on contracts who are in the AHL or something who could play. I also didn't take into account position or anything really here but they could do something like:
Necas-Zacha-Pastrnak
Palat-Hertl-Chytil
Zohorna-Kubalik-Vrana
Zadina-Faksa-Lauko
Ex: Kampf, Nosek

Hronek-Gudas

Blackbelt Bobman posted:

They have eight defensemen with them right now: Dahlin, Samuelsson, Power, Jokiharju, Clifton, R Johnson, E Johnson and Bryson. I don’t think they could send Bryson or Krebs to Rochester without clearing waivers, which I don’t think would happen. Levi could go though AND HE SHOULD!
Krebs has 8 NHL games of waiver exemption left. No one would claim Bryson at his cap hit, so I'm not even going to waste my time looking up if he's still exempt.

If you send Bryson down, and bench Clifton and E Johnson, that leaves you with 5 defensemen. Stillman or Clauge being the two top options in Rochester to call up. Clifton and EJ suck, but so do Stillman and Clauge.

Well I mean having 5 actual d-men (assuming there's no injuries before a midseason tournament, which is a big assumption) isn't really gonna do it. Also Zacha has some beef and won't play for the national team, although maybe that would change for a NHL tournament. Sucks though, I always root for them and that team would certainly be competitive, especially if they could add a few Euro leaguers.


He has looked incredible this year, he reminds me of Lindros some shifts with that combination of speed and size, it just looks overwhelming at times. One of the best forwards in the league analytically too, it's early but those 2020 guys really seem to be settling in this year (him, Laf, Raymond, Rossi, Perfetti), and that top end of the draft is looking a lot better. Holtz still sucks though!

I wasn’t suggesting benching both Clifton and E. Johnson, one or the other. Donny G wouldn’t bench Clifton because he was in the USA development program and Don thinks he can unlock the kid’s potential or whatever, like he did with Tage. Erik Johnson is mostly dead weight. Have him as the extra guy. They gotta stop the 11-7 thing.

Maybe they could find a barn somewhere in Alberta and just settle this like old time hockey.

Somewhere far away from where everyone else is, and then we can just leave Tim Peel’s social media accounts there with him.
