[Oberyn]

I'd like to see Canada bring 40~ players and have a full camp. No more free spots just given out to players who were drafted high. Lazar, Petan, and Morrissey were all unimpressive in my eyes.

 

[Raging Bull]

Reinhart, Horvat, Ekblad will most likely be in the NHL. Domi has a pretty good chance to be in Phoenix too.

 

[expy]

I would not re-invite McDavid.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I'd like to see Canada bring 40~ players and have a full camp. No more free spots just given out to players who were drafted high. Lazar, Petan, and Morrissey were all unimpressive in my eyes.

I don't see how Lazar doesn't make the team next year, unless he's in the NHL.

 

[irunthepeg]

I would not re-invite McDavid.

Best overreaction I've seen on HF. No, he didn't play particularly well the last couple days but have you checked his age? Maybe give him another year of development before writing him off for next year's team.

I thought Lazar played well and had the right attitude. Reminds me of Brendan Gallagher when he made TC a few years ago, always having a smile on his face.

I hope for a full camp and for the coach to put together a nice system.

 

[TheNorth]

Baptiste

What merit would make you automatically put his name for next year? I think you're even more laughable; he was forgettable this year, even moreso than other players on this forgettable Canadian team.

"He has potential!", "A generational talent!"

Didn't show any of that; unless he does, why invite him? Waste of a spot.

Potential is useless unless you actually utilize it.

 

[neutral*]

Baptiste, Domi, Shinkaruk, etc. Needs more speedy skilled players. Too many grinders. Need to get them off the team if Canada wants a chance.

 

[SidGenoMario]

I don't think McDavid should make it, he was so bad this year. Totally invisible in the 3rd periods when they needed goals

 

[nikhilmtl]

I would not re-invite McDavid.

He's ****ing 16

Has the thought of Sutter making McDavid so scared that he couldn't play his game ever go through your mind?

 

[Raging Bull]

He was visible. He was the one on the bench with a full-cage on.

 

[expy]

He's ****ing 16

And?

Has the thought of Sutter making McDavid so scared that he couldn't play his game ever go through your mind?

No it hasn't; and why should it? If you get scared so easily, how the hell are you going to succeed in life later on?

 

[Canucks LB]

Reinhart, Horvat, Ekblad and domi will most likely make the NHL teams.

 

[WhiteLight*]

Potential is useless unless you actually utilize it.

And what makes you think he won't ''utilize'' it, or improve his game in the next year?

Do you realize he's 16 years old? Do you realize how physically and mentally immature he still is?

You = fail

 

[GWNR]

And?


No it hasn't; and why should it? If you get scared so easily, how the hell are you going to succeed in life later on?

You're an idiot if you don't think his age matters. No ones saying he should get a free spot, but he'll 100% be back and 100% be better BECAUSE he's so young. He's developed between last year and this year and has been doing better as his season progressed.

Coming down on a 16 year old like you are is ****ing pathetic

I'm sorry, but are you putting words in my mouth?

Maybe give him another year of development before writing him off for next year's team.

A 16 year old kid playing against a bunch of older kids, not just any older kids but the best in the world in this age group. That's the thing about potential, especially at this age... potential means they could become great but not necessarily that they are great yet. The upcoming calendar year could be big for his skill potential and for his size potential.

I'm saying, don't write the kid off because he's a young kid playing against guys 2-3 years older.

 

[Coramoor]

McDavid has 4 points, which is more than any other 16 year old except Crosby and Gretzky. I think he got worse overtime because of Sutter personally and I don't think Sutter worked as the coach of this team. With another full year the notion that he won't make this team is ****ing laughable

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Well, the semi-annual Canadian advantage of playing in Canada will be afoot so plan accordingly.

 

[Shrimper]

Number of those won't be in as they'll be in the NHL.

... The kid is 16. Should he have made this years team? Probably not, altough he did show some good flashes I much rather have had Domi this year. But he definitely won't be the same player he is this year a year from now. He will make it next year

 

[Lessy]

Looking ahead next year, how will the Team Look:

Some Names off the top of my head

Forwards:
Connor McDavid

Jonathan Driuin

Aaron Ekblad
Samuel Morin
Shea Theodore
Josh Morrisey
Darnell Nurse
Dillon Heatherington

Zach Fucale
Tristan Jarry
Eric Comrie

Bolded are probably better than 5050 to be in the NHL I'd say.

 

[Johnsie19]

And?

And by the time he's 17 he will be that much better. Use your head pal come on now.
