This year’s World Juniors kick off in just over an hour with a Group A clash between Sweden and Slovakia in St. Paul. With all 10 countries’ rosters locked in, it’s time to look at which prospects each NHL team will see representing them on the world’s biggest stage for under-20 players.
Only three teams – the Blue Jackets, Golden Knights, and Hurricanes – do not have a representative on an opening roster. The Mammoth and Predators lead the way with seven prospects each, while the Canadiens, Capitals, Ducks, Flyers, Islanders, Red Wings, and Sharks are other teams with five-plus.
