With Stützle, Reichel and Peterka, he lost three top players

The two NHL nominees are John-Jason Peterka and Lukas Reichel – as well as Tim Stützle, who is already active in the NHL – but not there. The North American Legions were already missing from the initial 27-man squad.

Peterka (Rochester American) and Reichel (Rockford IceHogs) currently play in the American Hockey League (AHL) for farm teams of NHL clubs and are hoping to make the leap into the North American Pro League. In the 2020 draft, Peterka was selected by the Buffalo Sabers, Reichel by the Chicago Blackhawks.
