Canada’s WoJu selection camp roster: 1 NCAA player and 2 QMJHL players. Great representation.

Horrible

So that kid just died all of a sudden? Wonder if it was a Jiri Fischer cardiac incident. Terrifying for us and devastating for his family.

[Alexei Ca$hin]

Yeah horrible story, I heard them talking about it on XM this morning. Apparently cardiac arrest between periods?

Sabres blew a four-goal lead against the Avs

Tij Iginla had hip surgery and is done for the year

For the heck of it, I decided to throw together a team EU roster for an international tournament

Tim Stutzle - Leon Draisaitl - David Pastrnak
Nik Ehlers - Anze Kopitar - Timo Meier
Tomas Hertl - Marin Necas - Juraj Slafkovsky
Kevin Fiala - Nico Hischier - Nino Niederreiter
Marco Rossi

Roman Josi - Filip Hronek
Moritz Seider - JJ Moser
Jonas Siegenthaler - Erik Cernak
Simon Nemec

Freddy Andersen
Lukas Dostal
Karel Vejmelka


Other guys that could warrant consideration:
C Filip Chytil
C Pavel Zacha
C Lars Eller
RW JJ Peterka
RW Oliver Bjorkstrand
LW Mats Zuccarello
D Martin Fehervary
D David Jiricek
G Vitek Vanecek
G Dan Vladar
G Elvis Merzlikins

(The only other non-Russian would be Aliaksei Protas, who is having a great season, but he's from Belarus and not thus not an EU member)

If it's not a trade for Trouba, believe he may be on waivers later today -- possibility that a team will have a claim ready to go as with Goodrow back in June.

Either way, looks like Jacob Trouba's #NYR tenure is over.

I briefly thought "Is there some way in which adding Trouba helps the Wings' 3-6 blueline issues" and given that Petry isn't going to NY or anywhere else this year, the answer was a quick no.

Is Trouba even better than Petry? Who knows. But he's different than Petry.

[practice]

Edmonton seems dumb enough to want Trouba

[Grand Moff Larkin]

There’s no way they could make the cap work

[Alexei Ca$hin]

SNES seem to be desperate to change up their mix on D, but probably can't make the cap work either.

[Grand Moff Larkin]

He has an extra year, too.

The Wings would have to move out that much money. It’s hard to see a straight waiver claim vs. a trade for any team.

Trouba headed to Anaheim, per Larry Brooks

Him and Gudas in the same place, terrifying
