I'm looking forward to this tournament in February, and have tickets to the last round-robin games and the championship game in Boston. Let's do our own version on here. We'll have 6 teams each of USA, Canada, Sweden, and Finland - 1 per division. We'll limit the player pool to post-lockout, 2005-06 to the present, so that we're only including current-day players. Use Hockey-reference to determine a player's nationality (https://www.hockey-reference.com/friv/birthplaces.cgi)

Salary cap will be $125 million
No clones, no ML, no WW, no trades, no PI, relaxed rosters, no shootouts, Max players out 2.

I'm taking Team USA for 1 team, and a 2nd TBD.

I'll snag a CAN team.

I just learned about this tournament the other day. Count me in for Finland, and I'll probably take a 2nd team!

Just curious why they omitted Russia? Is it due to the war in Ukraine?

I will take a Canada team.

I'd like to take a Team Canada please.

Most likely. The IIHF has excluded Russia from everything while the war is ongoing, so the NHL certainly couldn't include them, and **** off the IIHF.

Was wondering if anyone would do this. I'll take the Swedes.

I will take Canada and Sweden
