The NHL and NHLPA announced today that the full rosters for the 4 Nations Face-Off will be unveiled on Dec. 4, 2024.
Back in June, the USA released their first six players that will be on the roster. Adam Fox, Quinn Hughes, Charlie McAvoy, Jack Eichel, Auston Matthews, and Matthew Tkachuk were the first six Americans named to the roster.
This tournament is a big deal to the countries involved and there will be lots of players trying to make the teams.
So what does this have to do with the Columbus Blue Jackets? American defenseman Zach Werenski should be one of the last players chosen to make the team. Many experts have tagged Werenski as a player who should make the team.
Werenski has plenty of international experience, including playing in this past summer's World Championships alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Gavin Brindley.
He has a lot of international accolades which include:

This season, Werenski is healthy and having a very good year. Through 18 games he has 4 goals and 14 points, which includes a pair of power play goals. He's on pace for around 60 points this season which would be his career-best for points in a season.
What's Next - The Blue Jackets are back home on Thursday to face the Tampa Bay Lightning.
