I don't know where Holt is with health/athleticism. Mitchem has a future, but I'd rather he get ready for the pro season and continued growth to make rosters on future tournaments.

I won't be surprised though if he takes Mitchem.

Who do you take to WCH Smith and Jendryk should be locks after the vnl unless they want time off imo, with Stahl and Averill being 3rd and 4th. Like someone else said I’m not certain Holt has even been in the NT gym this summer and I think it’d be a developmental mistake to take both him and Smith. I also think Mitchem should take a rest before he goes into his first pro season and worry about making these rosters later on when he can compete for a starting spot

No, Matt has been back in Anaheim for weeks training. 2nd Matt wasn't playing through injury for the last half of the year like Max.

With the way things stand, I don’t think adding Holt is necessary. I’m not sure if a roster spot is worth using on him, but if he’s close to full health his experience could be a big help when called upon.

If Max is 100% he will and should be at the World Championships.
He is an excellent 3rd or 4th option middle with extremely high level experience.
Averill, Stahl and Mitchem are not to his experience level....yet.
Again.....if he is ready and shows he is ready.
May or May not happen.
The issue may be time....rosters need to be announced soon.
Btw...the French team got 10 days off to vacation on their own. Zero VB. They earned that luxury and can benefit from an easy initial pool to work into their collective form.
Most all teams are back at it this week going hard.

Even a healthy Germany could theoretically make noise.
