[leafsgirl12]

Rielly hasn't been asked yet but articles have said he likely willl go and he would of played his last eligable year of world juniors if leafs would of let him go.

 

[xxxx]

Hall, Eberle and Nugent-Hopkins would go if asked. RNH might be injured now(?) so not sure about him, but who knows.

 

[alko]

Slovakia

All NHL players (except Visnovsky) said, they will come. So it depends now, how will Kins and Bruins end. It they will not make it to playoff, Gaborik and Chara should be in Czech.
Sekera is injured, so he is questionable.

Meszaros, Kopecky and Dano are clear.

Then we will look to 1th round. Maybe if Red Wings will lots, we could have also Tatar. Jurco is injured, so his status is unknow.

Visnovsky retired from national team.

 

[FiLe]

Ristolainen, Risto - Buffalo Sabres

It's Rasmus Ristolainen.

Also, two additional names to the list of Finns: Leo Komarov (Toronto Maple Leafs) and Tuomo Ruutu (New Jersey Devils) will go if invited.

Thank you!

 

[McGlassbangers]

Anton Lander and Oscar Klefbom (Oilers) will go if they get invited.

It's very possible that Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin will be going, since the GM of Team Canada is also GM of Dallas Stars. Tyler Seguin might be a little bit of a question because of his earlier injury.

 

[Chileiceman]

Apparently, Kulikov, Yakupov, Bobrovsky and Anisimov have been invited. I would imagine they'll all go.

 

[kaiser matias]

Not exactly big news, or a major team, but Michael Raffl is going to play for Austria:

Raffl joins Austria

Full roster won't be named until April 30, so possibility Vanek and Grabner can still join.

Also worth noting for Austria:

Long-time captain Thomas Koch will not be able to play due to an injury. Stefan Ulmer, Stefan Geier, Benjamin Petrik and Fabio Hofer are also injured while Daniel Oberkofler’s participation is questionable. Matthias Iberer decided to end his career and will not play at the Worlds.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Will be a part of the Czech Team:

Jakub Voracek - Philadelphia Flyers
Jaromir Jagr - Florida Panthers
Tomas Hertl - San José
Martin Erat - Arizona

Say No

Martin Havlat and Patrik Elias - New Jersey

Has this been confirmed? I thought he retired from national team last year after the WC? Although of course playing on home ice might be a strong incentive to come back for the tourney. Also all information I could found says that he will come over and join the team, practice with them and talk to the Czech coach, but that he doesn't want to confirm anything.

 

[VictorLustig]

Landeskog & OEL are confirmed, Klingberg is also invited on a tryout basis. Enroth will come once they fix his insurance.

Looks like Hockey Canada got some big names on the board (Hall, Eberle, RNH, Seguin, Spezza, Ekblad, Mike Smith, Giroux, Duchene) according to Cassi Campbell https://twitter.com/CassieCampbell/status/587111857078452224

I'm still going to have to see a whole lot more to convince me this year is anything more than a 1/4 exit.

Seems like Canada is throwing it all on the line for a win

 

[JackSlater]

No Johansen, no Couture and presumably soon we are going to hear no Crosby, Carter, Doughty, Benn, Bergeron and more. More appropriate statement:

"Canada is throwing out a decent roster this year"

The guys who were named today have been out of playoff contention for ages.
