Jason Robertson not picked by USA is quite unexpected

Completely diabolical decision not to bring Robertson. Also no Cole Caufield or Adam Fox

and Matt Knies, shame he did not pick Slovakia rather than US. He would be in Milano for sure

Some interesting roster choices by Sweden. Wasn't expecting Broberg and Holmberg to make the team. Feel bad for guys like Mikael Backlund and Mattias Ekholm as this was likely their last chance of playing in an Olympics after not getting the chance in 2018 and 2022. Very good roster overall though.

 

Finland also with a pretty good roster. Shame Barkov is injured but at least Heiskanen is healthy this time. Defense should be much better than at the 4 Nations Tournament.
