If you were keeping up with Wild news at all before last night's boring game, you'd have heard that Team USA announced the roster that they'll be bringing to this year's World Junior Championships. Alex Tuch wasn't on that list, which was a surprise to many, considering that Tuch had played on Team USA's WJC squad last season. While Team USA was deep along the Right Wing, could Tuch's exclusion really have been warranted?
I think the first big question to ask is whether something's wrong with Alex Tuch. Unfortunately, we don't have much more to go on than stats, and his points-per-game has seemed to stagnated from his freshman season at Boston College.
