MONTREAL-- Coach Todd McLellan called Team North America forward-rich after practice at Bell Centre on Tuesday.
The description includes four No. 1 picks in the NHL Draft -- Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (2016), Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid (2015), Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (2013) and Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (2011) -- raising the possibility that a talent like Calgary Flames left wing Johnny Gaudreau could fly below the radar when the World Cup of Hockey 2016 begins Sept. 17 in Toronto.
Gaudreau is a high-scoring forward who helps make Team North America deep and dangerous up front.
