Korpikoski named to team Finland
- Iloveeveryone

John Klingberg was left off of team Sweden...weird but ok!

Well he is wanting a 150 mil contract over 5 years....pretty pricey for a guy who will turn 40 during that contract.....which is easily more then what most would make in their entire NHL career

He's as good as gone. To come right out and say I know my value and that's what I want. Plus he will not negotiate. Trying to strong-arm a pro sports organization only leads to one thing.

LMAO... Thats hilarious.. I find Korpi absolutely useless on the Oilers...

Still need quality defensive forwards and penalty killers even in international play.

To me it just says he wants to be traded because I dont see any team giving him that kind of money.....maybe AA picks him up in LA

I am more interested in seeing the team North America roster than even the Canadian one. Mostly because we can all hazard a good guess of the Canadian one based off the last Olympics. The North American one is up in the air. So many good young players to choose from.

Didn't really let AA go. The ball was in his hands and he chose to leave.
- Lemmewinks

He made the right decision if you ask me. But I think he was pushed into it. Got sick of the higher ups.

He'll probably get added after. Their defense looks pretty phenominal without him.

He might was just kind of surprised he wasnt on the inital roster...but there will always be debate on who should have been on (insert team here) roster....just like when North America names their roster

Is there a rule preventing Canada or USA from taking a player under 24 on their team. What if team Canada wants McDavid or USA wants Eichel?

I was hoping I wasnt the only one who felt that way....in a way I dont like this North America idea and just let Connor and Jack battle it out for gold in a Canada vs US match up

Daly just announced they won't play anthems until someone wins the tournament. Probably their way of hoping North America or Europe don't win so they don't have to come up with something to play.

They should just get some high profile and relevant band like Megadeth to write an anthem for those teams.

OKC Thunder part owner drove into a bridge after getting charged. Crazy story!

I wonder if Moxy Fruvous would make be interested in writing an anthem.

Looking at it I can understand the logic it was just a first thought reaction...I just thought the guy was gonna make it period...still time but their blueline looks pretty good regardless

Man I love how I make one joking comment about McDavid at the top of the Calgary thread and just send the entire thing into a poopstorm of "your team has picked overall 4 times, we're so much better than you". Like I stated earlier it's so easy to get these idiots going it's hilarious.

I think thats the results of playoff expectations going into the year with their new toys then falling right off a cliff into lottery draft land.....lucky for us we are used to it so its nothing new to endure

For the most part They seem to hate the oilers so much more than we hate them

I can imagine it would be annoying that your biggest rivals gets way more press regardless of being perennial bottom feeders

He might get one of those last spots

But having karlsson and oel are about as lethal offensively as any roster, so they prob ain't desperate for more offence from the back.
Them they got 2 way kronwall/ hedman.
And defensive minded stralman/hjallmarsson.

Our bottom 3 will probably be bigger "superstars" than their bottom 3, but I dunno that it's way better.
Love their group

I hated them back when I was younger but after so many years of futility I just feel bad for them, just like us. But they can't face the facts that we're both in the exact same boat, regardless of how many times we've won the lottery.
