Darren Dreger has said today that Columbus Blue Jackets Head Coach Dean Evason will be chosen to coach Team Canada at the Men's World Hockey Championships in Sweden and Denmark next month. Evason's Blue Jackets team just barely missed the playoffs last week.

This could mean good news for youngsters Kent Johnson and Adam Fantilli. Both of whom mentioned at last Friday's exit interviews that they hadn't yet had talks about whether or not they were playing. Both said they'd like to.

Congrats to Coach Evason.
