so if the lockout isn't settled soon, and his shoulder is good, the Nuge might play in the world juniors this year. would be pretty funny, a guy who had 18g/52pts in 62gp as a rookie last year in the NHL & a ppg average in the AHL this year playing against junior kids again. like the last lockout when Bergeron played a full season the year before, then was on that stacked junior team bc he had nothing better to do (was also about a ppg in the AHL that year).
figured the potential player pool might be overly strong bc of the stoppage, but not really. Huberdeau, Scheifele, Strome, Jenner, Ryan Murphy, Doug Hamilton, etc. good, but not amazing or anything.
G - should be Subban's brother, otherwise Jordan Binnington, Laurent Brossoit, etc
D - should be really strong with Murphy, Hamilton, Morgan Rielly, Scott Harrington, Xavier Ouellet, Griffin Reinhart, Matt Dumba, Derrick Pouliot, etc to choose from
F - outside of the centers (RNH, Huberdeau, Scheifele, Strome), the names aren't exactly jumping out at me, but they can usually find 12-13 pretty good ones. also depends on which guys they can move over the wing. Ty Rattie, Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin, J.C. Lipon, Hunter Shinkaruk, Matt Puempel, etc will be fighting for spots. then there's the grinders, Tom Wilson, Mark McNeill, prob lots of guys for the bottom-6.
