Not sure if all of them will make the final roster, but last time I checked eight (nine) Germans play major junior.
OHL:
Tom Kühnhackl (Windsor)
Tobias Rieder (Kitchener)
Philipp Grubauer (Kingston)
Nickolas Latta (Sarnia)
( Björn Krupp (Belleville) , half German, half American, plays for the USA in international competition )
WHL:
Bernhard Keil (Kamloops)
Marcel Noebels (Seattle)
QMJHL:
Konrad Abeltshauser (Halifax)
Mirko Höfflin (Quebec)
I can't remember a time where that many Germany played major junior, much less played an important role. A few years back, four or five Germans were playing at the same time, but only one or two of them did anything major. Now at least four guys should play an important role, if not more.
