Could Germany have their best possible NT in this WC? All germans in NHL have contract and all of them outside of Dr.Drai will miss the playoffs. And we all know Oilers will fail in the cup, that will make Dr.Drai free to join. Should be enough to battle for the gold.

 

[krishiigonzalez]

Grubauer will play with the Kraken. Stützle and Seider made questionable comments regarding participation in the WC. Guess Reichel has to play AHL-playoffs if the Icehogs qualify. Same with Gawanke and Wissmann. Could imagine only Peterka and Sturm come over, maybe Reichel, Wissmann and Gawanke after getting eliminated.

Last what i read was that Kreis doesn't have any commitents from the NA players yet, but is optimistic that they will come if 100% healthy. But of course Ottawa will be cautious to send Stützle after last years injury. I`m hoping that Reichel doesn`t have to play AHL playoffs, if Chicago wanted him down there he should have been sent down weeks ago to secure the playoff spot.

But we probably wont see Drai, Grubauer, Wissmann and Gawanke because they will likely get past the first playoff rounds.

Same goes for Napravnik who barely played this season in Hershey but it seems he picked up the pace in the last weeks. Maybe we could see Münzenberger nominated? Does anyone know how he is developing?

Anyway, this would be my realistic lineup, considering anyone who is out of the playoffs is healthy, i will put a extra skater in for every (?): Lines in no particular order...

Reichel (?) - Stützle (?) - Peterka
Rieder (?) - Sturm - Kühnhackl (?)
Bokk - Noebels - Ehliz
Kammerer - Plachta - Schmölz
A.Eder- Tiffels - Höfflin

Extras for (?): Fischbuch, Loibl, T.Eder, Schinko

Seider - J.Müller
Hüttl - Brandt (?)
Daubner - Fohrler
Mik

(?): Abeltshauser or Holzer

Niederberger
Strahlmeier
Tiefensee or Franzreb

I would probably have Kahun over most of the forwards, Michaelis is injured, I believe, otherwise I'd have him there too.
Too bad Pföderl is out, his chemistry with Noebels is just beautiful.

 

[krishiigonzalez]

Reichel will go back to Rockford after tonights game as it’s reported by some Twitter guys. We will see if they will qualify for the Playoffs, I hope not.

 

[olliho]

Wagner the Captain of ERC Ingolstadt is a Lock imO

 

[olliho]

Same with Patrick Hager the Captain of RB Munich

 

[Khokhlach86]

 

[MatBarzal]

Any news on Peterka?

 

[KahunWOW]

Sturm playing is awesome.
Any of Stützle, Seider, Reichel, Peterka would be a big boost as well obv. All of them comming and anything is possible.

I so loved watching him play with Stuetzle and Reichel at the U20's, I hope to get to see it this spring.

 

[Nexon]

I doubt that Ottawa let's Stuetzle play after what happened last year but this team is shaping up nicely anyway.

I think Reichel missed the U20s due to COVID. Timmy and JJ were playing with Florian Elias if I recall correctly.

The first one where Ferraro referred to them as Team Full Cage, Bokk lead them in scoring, Hane got most of the starts in Czechia. 2020?

I see, I believe they at least started out on different lines there as well. I think it was Reichel with Bokk and Jentzsch or Fleischer, and Peterka with Stützle and Schütz.

I just went and took a look at the line ups for the games in this tournament and if the official line ups are correct the lines were:

For the games USA (3-6 L); CZE (4-3 W); CAN (1-4 L)
Jentzsch - Reichel - Bokk
Stützle - Schütz - Peterka

For the games RUS (1-6 L); KAZ (4-0 W)
Jentzsch - Schütz - Bokk
Stützle - Reichel - Peterka

Then Stützle was out for the remaining games KAZ (1-4 L); KAZ (6-0) and Brune took his spot next to Reichel and Peterka.

But I think they may have already jumbled the lines a bit in the first 3 games, which was likely why they made the switch before the Russia game.

But be that as it may, whenever those three have played together it was very special and very reminiscent of the times when Draisaitl and Kahun played with either Rieder or Tiffels. With both groups it was so weirdly different, that they were actually able to dominate when they were on the ice, and not just against our equals, but even against teams like Canada, USA or Czechia.

He got unfortunate injury then. Maybe they will let him play.

 

[krishiigonzalez]

The IceHogs qualified for the playoffs so Reichel will not be available for the beginning of the tournament.

Kuhnhackl and rieder both looking Good in shl playoffs

 

[Maverick41]

No Stützle, which sucks, but isn't really surprising. Also, no Holzer and no Plachta.

The team we could make from the players who declined is shaping up quite nicely. Unfortunately we can't say the same for the team that will actually be playing. Our goalies better be sharp.

Is it confirmed that Stützle isn't coming?
