Two of the really big names to get excited about have to be Logan Cooley and Luke Hughes. Both are already some of the top prospects for their respective NHL teams and they are going to be fun to watch at this tournament. Outside of them, Cutter Gauthier of the Philadelphia Flyers is another player to keep an eye on at this tournament.

Team USA made their final cuts on Friday, releasing Ryan Leonard, Jack Devine, Shai Buium and Tyler Muszelik. Their team is made up of 25 players, although two of them will be around as injury subs in the event someone on the 23-man roster gets hurt.

Overall this is a really young and fun team that GM John Vanbiesbrouck has put together. It will be interesting to see how they stack up against Team Canada as they get ready to compete in the coming days.
