Every individual will have to make their own decision on whether or not this whole tournament was a stupid idea. Regardless of the answer (the answer is YES!), the North American Young Stars team will sure be fun to watch. It will probably feature 2015 draft picks Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel, as well as their star player — and Colorado’s star player — Nathan MacKinnon.
As the 2013 Calder Trophy winner and very promising player, MacKinnon shouldn’t be surprised when (not if) he makes the team. Other than that, the Colorado Avalanche don’t have any North Americans 23 or younger that seem good enough to make the team. If someone does, that player will surely be more than surprised.
