Eh as far as I'm concerned those are he only three locks as of now. Horvat impresses me tonight who knows.

I wouldnt have Laughton locked into the fourth line spot. He could very well end up as the first line center, racking up points, 2 way game and fairly physical

Enough with the OHL...they played like garbage tonight...the NUMBER 1 line will be Drioun Mantha and maybe Hudon...they deserve at least a consideration for the number 1 line...

Let me know what you guys think of this:

The only 3 players from the Q to make it are Hudon, Drouin, and Mantha, who will represent Canada's top line.

I'm not saying this is what I actually think, but it's a passing thought, perhaps worth some consideration and discussion.

Considering how poorly the OHL played tonight (And im VERY VERY PROUD of my Quebec players for playing the way they did - at least the top line...) Hudon Drouin and Mantha should be given a chance at Number 1 line for Canada ... I would also want MORIN to be given consideration considering how POORLY team OHL played

I hope WHL has better defense men

If Drouin plays wing Laughton could be the first line C. I would like to see that Q line kept together as well but I'm just saying I'm not sure I would pencil Laughton in at fourth line center. he could be much higher

I had enough of non QMJHL coaches loading up on OHL or WHL players when non deserving...this time around i want to see a couple MORE QMJHL players on this team...i think they deserve it this time around... If Laughton plays his way up to 1st liner with Drouin, i see no issue with that..but he needs to earn it....Just like QMJHL players have had to earn it in MANY previous YEARS

You have enough of a bunch of stuff ;)

...

Not sure what the odds are of seeing Anderson on the team but I wouldn't mind him on a 4th line with Girard. I don't know about Anderson's defensive abilities but pretty sure these 2 could kill quite a bit of time cycling the puck in the offensive zone.

The OHL didnt play well but outside of the Q top line neither did anyone from the Q really. Girard seemed to help his chances but he was a long shot and Fucale stayed about where he was

Players from the Q?

Drouin, Hudon are locks. Mantha is a virtual lock.

I know that I'd give strong consideration to Fucale, Poirier, Gauthier, Girard, with the lesser of those players being Gauthier. I don't see Poirier being THAT MUCH of a pest. This said, Poirier might just possibly be the most dangerous PK'er on that team. Those who get to watch him understand what I mean.

Girard is a very interesting candidate, but offensive upside is really low.

Another name not really mentionned, but really turning heads is Gregoire, and that's also a guy possibly coming back next season.

Gregoire did great.

The D was .. pretty bad though. In Gatineau, the best D was... Walcott? THAT is a problem.

Fucale is a lock...like Hudon, Drouin and Mantha...we will have at least 4 QMJHL players, maybe Poirier...he should at least get an invite, and after tonight's OHL debacle, i think Morin should get in on the conversation...

These QMJHL players are not bottom feeders.....

I like Morin as a prospect but you clearly didn't watch the two games if your beating his drum that hard. He didn't play well in either.
