Last December, the big bosses of Team Canada revealed their nation’s roster for the 4 Nations tournament in February.
We can find several notable absentees there, obviously.
At least Samuel Montembeault will be there, barring an injury.
Another one who has been overlooked is Zach Hyman.
In his case, it doesn’t really represent a surprise since he is not having a season that lives up to expectations. The Oilers winger has just 19 points in 29 games, and after scoring 54 goals last year, he only has 13 this season.
Lately he’s been better, but he started to find the back of the net when the Canadian roster was revealed.
Despite his lack of offensive contribution, it’s not like he suddenly doesn’t know how to score. And that’s why Sportsnet, which has made some bold predictions for next year, believes Hyman will be the leading scorer in the Four Nations even if he doesn’t make the roster. current member of Team Canada.
With an injury, Canada could recall another player and the English network thinks it will be Hyman. And he believes he will leave his mark, perhaps alongside McDavid. Unfortunately, according to Ryan Dixon, the nation will lose in the final to Sweden, despite Hyman’s potential exploits.
The way Hyman has been playing lately, it wouldn’t surprise me if he was the first recalled in the event of an injury. Nick Suzuki is probably also #inthemix, too.
But obviously, we don’t wish injury on anyone.
I really invite you to read Dixon’s text from Sportsnet. In his surprise predictions, he also writes that Brad Marchand will sign with the Golden Knights at the end of the season, that Trevor Zegras will be traded to the Islanders, that the Ducks will draft Porter Martone with the first pick in the next draft and much more.
In burst
– Oui.
– Will Steve Yzerman be the next to leave?
– The Senators want to make the playoffs.
– They are not yet qualified.
– It doesn’t make us any younger.
