Umberger has an NMC
- Just5

I thought that only applied to him with pucks in the offensive zone.

That's really over the entire rink not limited to one specific zone.

Washington also got a later pick, like maybe a 6th rounder? I'd have to look. I think Umberger could be moved if they really wanted to. now AMAC is next to impossible. well, unless the Flyers ate the max of the contract.

I have to admit that I'm somewhat pleased with Mac's play as of late but still would love to be out from under that awful deal. How many years was he given, 5 or 7?

considering there are something like 8 centers named so far I doubt G is one of the last 7 players named but stranger things have happened.

Sean Monahan elite.

Claude Giroux not elite.

G can and would play wing. The center argument doesn't fly imo

There's not really any argument, outside of the normal Team Canada BS politics.

Figure 3 will be D. So that's 4. You've named Couture, Perry, Monahan & Duchene. Giroux has been more productive than all four of them this season. He's a better faceoff guy than all of them. He's a better two way player than all of them. He can play wing or center.

I'm fine with him staying home and being pissed off, because last time that happened, he pretty much carried a team similar to this one to the playoffs.

From an entirely selfish point of view, I think G getting snubbed will put a nice sized chip on his shoulder all year. Couple that with an improved team and it could catapult us to go deep in the playoffs. Same goes for Ghost not getting on the under 23 team.

Stuff like he's been a good soldier and didn't skip a camp because he had an injury, or his dad was an assistant of somebody or other.

Lot of organizations are like that. Hockey Canada is rife with it. Chris Kunitz made the Olympic team because he was Crosby's linemate. Joe Hicketts was the top D on the World Junior team because his dad is a Hockey Canada guy.

Same thing goes on with the US team. Look at Abdelkader. He got named and Lombardi said "He's a kid. He's only going to get better" Abdelkader is 29.

I'm fine with him not going. Let him simmer over it all summer, and come to camp with a Chara sized chip on his shoulder.
