Wednesday was cut down day for Team USA at the World Junior
Summer Showcase in Kamloops, British Columbia. Brady Tkachuk, Logan Cockerill and Joel
Farabee will continue with the US squad while David Farrance and Jake Wise were
among the cuts. Shane Bowers is the lone Terrier on Team Canada. Beginning
today, the U.S. will play three exhibitions against Sweden, Finland
and Canada, all televised on
the NHL Network. Game time today is 4 p.m. EDT.
Earlier this week, Farabee scored twice in USA White’s 7-5
win against Canada Red. Tkachuk set up the game-winner in USA Blue’s 3-2
win against Canada White, while Wise’s backhand pass to the slot set up
Team USA’s first goal.

►Tkachuk has told NHL.com’s Mike Morreale that he’ll decided
whether to return to BU for his sophomore year or sign with Ottawa by Aug. 12. The
HockeyWriters.com examined the pros
and cons for both choices.

the upcoming “pivotal year in his development.” A 2016 second-round Chicago

2019 recruit Trevor Zegras is moving up in many early
rankings for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Future Considerations ranked him at #25.
Here is an example of Trevor Zegras combination of skill and quick decision making. A #2019NHLDraft eligible center that played in the shadow of both Hughes and Turcotte, but that fully I expect to raise on many lists this season. He has already entered my top 15. pic.twitter.com/CyG7aG8ydf— Andy Lehoux (@Andylehoux1) July 31, 2018
2019 recruit Liam Gorman,
a sixth-round Penguins draft pick this past June, talked with NHL.com about the
NHL combine, draft day and his experiences in Pittsburgh’s development camp.
The 6’3” left-shot center from Arlington, Massachusetts had a 17-16-33 scoring line in 30 games for St. Sebastian’s as a teammate of 2020 recruits Liam Connors and
Drew Commesso.
