The NHL/NHLPA 4 Nations Face-Off has seen early controversy over a player’s reaction to being left off a roster. NHL insider Elliotte Friedman shared on the "32 Thoughts" podcast that the player’s response was so negative the team ruled out even using them as an injury replacement.
On Friday's episode, named "A Windy City Switch", while talking to cohost Kyle Bukauskas, Friedman said that,
[38:00 onwards] "I heard there was one player that, when he was told he didn't make the team, reacted so negatively that the team decided they won't even bring them as an injury replacement if it gets to that. I was, like, wow. That's pretty serious stuff."
