Gard to argue with the guy you won with last year. Miller should be USA's front runner as well.

He's hurt and likely won't return until January.

The top-4 USA goalies I would assume are Miller, Quick, Schneider and Howard.

Do you really want to take a goalie that has only played about 7 games over the previous 3 months? Eh seems risky.

Ben Bishop in the mix as well for Team USA...might get a look as the #3 even, just for the experience if USA Hockey brass believe that he could be the starter in 2018...though, it would be tough to tell two of those guys to stay home...

Either way. I love Quick and did long before he was dominating, but I'd still go to Miller barring something overwhelming happening.

I figured he would be #5 - or #4 if Quick is still too hurt to play.

I didn't realize he was looked at as having that much potential.

He's coming into the age where he should be either becoming a career backup or taking off, and he's been on of Tampa's best players.
