USA USA USA

[AJW 2,156]

As the new GM for the Team USA WJC squad, I am absolutely pumped to finally land my first GM job and work with STHS (even if it is just a tournament). I have been trying to land a GM spot for a little while now and hopefully this job can open some doors in the future for myself. Being a Canadian it hurts a bit to have to lead the Americans to victory but I do not mind really, still excited to start.

 

I feel like the team I selected is a solid group lead by forward Taylor Mourning, defenceman Erlantz Jokinen, and goaltender Xavier Booberry. I feel as if the depth in my forwards is deep along with two really strong goaltenders with Booberry and Chiester IX. The defenceman on this team are good but would in my eyes be our weakest link. Another weak part to our team is the lack of centers. Deke Rike is the only natural centerman I picked up as the wingers for the USA are very strong. This means I will need to place two wingers on the faceoff dots but I doubt it will make a big difference. 

 

Not too sure how USA will stack up against the competition but I do believe we have a top 3 squad. USA does not have a big history of winning this tournament but it has been done 6 times if I am not mistaken so hopefully I can make it 7.
