Dan’s Daily: NYR Choice; Marner Opens Up; Sidney Crosby THE Advantage
The Team Canada and Team USA Olympic orientation camps are under way and the funniest bit of news was that Canada claims they will not set their roster to deal with the USA. Meanwhile, Team Canada's executive director gave Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby the highest praise, and the newest NHL stars are fighting to make the team. Also in the Daily, the Rangers have a big decision with the Bread Man, and coach Mike Sullivan is already talking lines. Mitch Marner opened up on leaving Toronto , and what's the deal with Connor McDavid ?
Sure, Team Canada won't respond to Team USA pummeling them in the Round Robin of the Four Nations. Sure! That's why Brad Marchand , Tom Wilson , and some stronger players were invited.

Who would have thought that Celebrini would pass Bedard, but in my gut, that's how that one goes down.
