  • Not every elite player can make the cut for the national team. Here's the biggest names omitted from the 4 Nations Face-Off in 2025.

The article from MSN discusses the notable exclusions from the upcoming 4 Nations Face-Off, an NHL international tournament set to feature players from Canada, the USA, Sweden, and Finland. Among the most significant snubs are Cole Caufield and Tage Thompson. Cole Caufield, known for his scoring prowess with the Montreal Canadiens, was surprisingly left off Team USA's roster despite his impressive performance. Similarly, Tage Thompson, who has been a standout for the Buffalo Sabres with his goal-scoring and playmaking abilities, was also omitted. The article highlights the disappointment among fans and analysts, questioning the selection criteria which seemed to favor veterans and players with international experience over current form and potential. Other notable absences include young talents like Quinton Byfield and Alex Newhook, suggesting a possible oversight in recognizing emerging stars in the sport.
