After Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the United States named their first six players for the 2025 4 Nations Face-Off over the summer, each country revealed its full 23-man roster yesterday. There’s now just over two months until the first true senior-level best-on-best action in over eight years, even if it’s a limited sampling of the world’s hockey powers.
It’s no surprise that the two most recent Stanley Cup champions are the most well-represented clubs at the tournament. The Panthers have eight representatives, while the Golden Knights have seven.
Florida is also one of two teams to have a player on every country’s roster. The Maple Leafs are the other.
Only two teams did not see one of their players selected to a roster yesterday. Kraken Team Canada hopeful on defense Brandon Montour missed the cut, as did Capitals center Dylan Strome and goaltender Logan Thompson. Washington defenseman John Carlson also missed out for Team USA despite a strong MVP candidacy for one of the league’s most surprising teams in the early going.

I must say, the fact that the Washington Capitals & Seattle Kraken didn’t get at least one player to represent them in the 4 Nations tournament must sting those organizations to some extent in particularly the rosters. I could be wrong in my thinking (though I doubt it especially as a competitor) but from a motivational standpoint they could look at it as a brush over indictment towards them not that it was intentional but more of being overlooked or underestimated perhaps.
Boldy….Billy G throwing his boy a bone.
Boldy’s stats deserve more than a bone.

I have a great idea to replace the All-Star game, Let’s have a series of multiple All-Star games that are just as meaningless, And shut down the entire league for two weeks, And, As a bonus, Increase the probability of player injury in a meaningless exhibition, Just before the playoffs start.
Tage Thompson is one of the hardest matchups as a forward in the NHL.
