The World Junior Championship rosters have been released and Chris, Tommy and Zack dive into the United States, Canada and Sweden rosters as well as what a Team Russia team might look like if they were in the tournament. Who were the snubs? The boys Nikita Zadorov was traded last week to the Vancouver Canucks for only a 3rd and a 5th round pick. Was this a steal for Vancouver? The boys dive into this deal and discuss. Sam Montembeault signed a 3 year extension with the Montreal Canadiens and the boys talk about this being a great deal.
Chris sits down with USNTDP Defenseman and Minnesota Gophers commit John Whipple to discuss his love for hockey and what a day in the life is playing for the US National Development Program. He also dives in to what it was like being able to sign his letter of intent with his buddy Brodie Ziemer and what its going to mean to play for his home state the Minnesota Gophers.
