2014 Canada World Junior team

[Bills09]

Francis Beauviller was invited to tryouts this year I imagine he has a decent shot next year.

He is 1993 born. To old.

 

[1Gold Standard]

Not sure about the lineup, but they should bring brighter lamps, Malmo is further north than Ufa. I'll never let the idiot at Hockey Canada who came up with that moronic idea (Scott Salmond) off the hook.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

The D could be a rock.

Looking at the Win for the USA, I see Canada bringing a strong, mobile and tough back-end.

Any chance for Josh Morrissey?

 

[HighLifeMan]

Charles Hudon

You bet!
Thanks for the correction.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Bump. With the succes in the U18 Tournament some kids have strengthen their chances. McDavid should be a lock now.

Yeah I'd say McDavid is a lock now. Baptiste also greatly increased his chances of making the team, I could see him being the utility forward due to his versatility

 

[SmellOfVictory]

some analysts are saying he might make the tryouts but id be surprised if he makes it through the cuts.

We'll have to see what he's like next season. Him making the team is based on the expectation that we'll see substantial improvement, given that this was a transitional year for him.

Paterson will be the starter or at least on the team. No way McDavid plays 4th line. Give him Reinhart's spot on the 2nd, move Horvat down and Reinhart over.

 

[Intangiblezz]

Hunter Shinkaruk - Sean Monahan - Anthony Mantha
Max Domi - Connor McDavid - Bo Horvat

Zach Fucale
Jack Patterson

[StringerBell]

Gaunce is getting slept on big time here. I love Horvat's game, but I can't fathom why everyone's pencilling him in over Gaunce. Same with Gauthier.

 

[wings5]

Surprised no one is mentioning Chris Driedger in goal, seems to be underrated.

I mentioned him in the U18 thread.

I think he'll be the starter.

McDavid?


Rielly - Reinhart
Pulock - Pouliot
Nurse - Pelech/Finn/Dumba

Fucale/Driedger/Desrosiers/Comrie


Drouin in if he plays in the league.

does anyone think that Athanasiou of the Colts or Poirier with Gatineau have a chance at the team. Dark horses for sure.

 

[Passchendaele]

I wouldn't be surprised if Monahan made the NHL too.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Ekblad and McDavid will make this team IMO.

 

[DJB]

Yeah I'd say McDavid is a lock now. Baptiste also greatly increased his chances of making the team, I could see him being the utility forward due to his versatility

I don't think he is a lock at all. Hockey Canada loves taking older kids with less skill as opposed to the best players. We have seen in time and time before.

Dont agree with it as I hate the Hockey Canada staff and thier selections.

 

[Mr Celly]

As being from Halifax, this may be a bit biased but... Fucale is one of the calmest goalies around. I have never seen him lose his cool. He finds a way to bounce back after giving up a soft goal, or a rough game. That is something Canada's struggled with in the WJC, having goalies that can bounce back after bad plays. Hopefully Zach can be one of many.

 

[Shrimper]

8 months left. Anyone care to take a stab?




My wild guess:


Drouin - Mackinnon - Mantha
Shinkaruk - Monahan - McDavid
Hudon - Laughton - Leipsic
Wilson - Lazar - Rychel
Horvat


Rielly - Reinhart
Pulock - Pouliot
Dumba - Finn
Nurse



Fucale
Martin

Ones in bold I predict will be in the NHL for sure next season whilst the ones underlined I think could play a part next year in the NHL on their respective teams. Who would Canada call up to replace them?

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Why isn't Elblad getting any love ??

 

[GuillaumeLetsundress*]

Why isn't Elblad getting any love ??

Not sure! He should be leaned on heavily would really be a nice stay at home guy for an offensive guy like rielly.... Drooling
