Canada IMO. I can see nearly their whole D playing in the NHL (some already have) and a few good forwards and probably a whole lot of 3rd and 4th liners. I wouldn't be surprised if both Price and Irving made the big show as well.

I think the American's probably have more top-end future NHL talent than Canada. They have the two Johnson's obviously who are blue-chip guys along with Okposo and Mueller, two guys that I expect to be bigtime NHLers. You can make an argument that Canada has just as much future NHL players, but in terms of NHL stars I think the American's might have the edge.:dunno:

They may have 2-3 players that are going to be stars, but as far as the amound produced Canada should have them there. It isn't a strech to say every D on Canada will make the NHL.

okposo is underappreciated imo one of the best skaters i have seen i hope he earns a good nhl career but for most future nhlers time will tell but i will say canada for the hell of it

Marc Andre Cliche looks like a Carboneau-esq player in the making. I like his game and he's simply great defensively.
