WC: Jeff Petry joins the Americans’ (big) roster

Petry adds to a defensive brigade that’s pretty well stocked.

In fact, on paper… the U.S. lineup is already very dangerous.

Up front, you’ll find the likes of Cole Caufield, Matt Boldy, Johnny Gaudreau, Dylan Larkin, Brady Tkachuk and Trevor Zegras…

As for the blue line, we know that Seth Jones, Zach Werenski, Alex Vlasic, Jake Sanderson and Luke Hughes will be taking part in the event.

Petry will be bringing his defensive experience to the table, which is always a good thing for a team competing in an international tournament:

I’m really looking forward to seeing what Canada’s roster looks like for the tournament.

That said, if it clicks, the Americans will be hard to beat because they have players who can really make the difference in a game.

Let’s not forget that other players will be added to the line-up in the next few days, when the first teams are eliminated from the NHL playoffs…

In brief

– A good A, in my eyes.

– Ayoye.

– Is Steven Stamkos preparing to leave Tampa?

– He’s too good for the league.
