Mika Zibanejad is heading back to Sweden after 9 games. He is going from being a third line player to a first line player in the Swedish league, so a good move for Ottawa.
That leaves four guys, Sean Couturier is apparently staying with the Flyers as he has worked himself into the third line and they don't think he can learn any more in juniors. I thought this was the guy the Sens should have picked as their next 'bug' centre.
Adam Larsson is still with the Devils and basically isn't going anywhere. Plays huge minutes on the devils and has good hockey sense for an 18 year old. Gabriel Landeskog is another who is staying, as he easily worked himself onto the Avs, and well, he has no junior team to go back to. And of course jury out on Hopkins.
Some other players from years before. Brett Connolly is staying with the Lightning. He was the 2010 6th round pick. And Erik Gudbranson is still a wait and see. Blue Jackets Ryan Johansen is also nearing his 9 games and isn't a clear stay or go.
All of this means we are getting royally fucked for Team Canada at the juniors this year. We got Schiefeil back, but no Couturier, Connolly, Hopkins, Gubranson (possible), Ryan Ellis. Should be an interesting team this year.
