WC: Team Canada 2024

[Playmaker82]

Put Tanev in for Celebrini, which can be 13-14th forward in some games for getting experience.

Chabot going is not unexpected, he’s been a great player for Canada, I’m still very pro Chabot. Giroux same thing.

Absolutely none of us thought Letang would even sniff this thing

So far I really like this team. Would prefer to use the rookies (Grieg, Benson, etc) as spares, no offense, but I’m always wanting to win this thing.

Hoping Mangiapani and Weegar go from Calgary.

Chabot not going is not unexpected,

Whoa! That's a TRIPLE negative sentence - made my head spin.

I think you are saying, "Chabot is not expected to go".

 

[ORRFForever]

If we didn't care about winning, we could put together one heck of a YOUNG team...

Bedard
Fantilli
Cozens
Benson
Quinn
Neighbours
Zary
Celebrini
Dylan Holloway - I don't think he'll plays in the playoffs for Edmonton
Wright
Greig
Bolduc
Newhook
Akil Thomas
McTavish

Power
Byram
Zellweger
Korchinski
Guhle
Drysdale

Levi

I'd enjoy, at least for one game, seeing Power and Parayko as a LH/RH 6'6 pairing at this thing. Could work well too with Power handling most of the puck handling responsibility. Byram with Parayko should work too but is less interesting.

I expect that Canada will invite Walman. He had a solid year again and he was on the team last year before getting hurt before the tournament started. Then again I'd have a legitimate laugh at this point if he pulled his nationality stunt again and showed up for USA.

Flames with a official announcement on X. But nothing about Mangiapane, Huberdeau, Zary, Kadri..

 

[Czechboy]

Czechs now have a chance

 

[Playmaker82]

Yes from McCann & Mercer
No from Suzuki & Konecny
Maybe from Crosby

 

[Playmaker82]

Mangiapane and Huberdeau invited. Will decide in a few days.

ugh....................Dubas.

Yes from McCann & Mercer

Patience is wearing thin with Suzuki.

At the U20 we had Bonk on our side... now we have Dubas! Wait till the food poisoning before our game. Half your team will be crapping their pants in the lobby. Should still be close.lol

Maybe he say to crosby to come .. good sign with crosby situation i gues

I really hope Crosby goes to be honest. Him with Bedard would be great!

 

[Playmaker82]

So, the squad is coming more and more together. As of now it seems that C and defence is the biggest "problems", but Crosby will be a big asset if he says yes. With also Mangiapane and Huberdeau invited, and Guhle in the mix top 6/top 4 could be done. The kids are in with Fantilli and Celebrini, while Tanev has grit. With Binnington as goalie, its the 3-4 liners and 3rd pairing D next up if all accepts their invitation.

McCANN - Crosby - BEDARD
Mangiapane - COZENS - Huberdeau
MERCER - Newhook - Guenther
TANEV - Frost - Bunting
CELEBRINI

Crouse, Foerster, Zary, Benson, Joseph, Fabbri, Greig, Eberle, Tippett. Fantilli.

BYRAM - PARAYKO
POWER - (GUHLE)
Walman - Drysdale
Durzi - Joseph

BINNINGTON
Jarry
Ingram

Suzuki turning it down is pretty inexcusable. Enough to take him from outside bubble with a chance to fully out of consideration for the four nations squad.

 

[therealdeal]

Boys, this year we don’t even worry about who isn’t coming, I love this roster so far. McCann and Mercer are great adds.

 

[JackSlater]

I like adding McCann and Mercer, solid young players for this level even with Mercer having a disappointing year. No time for Suzuki playing three full seasons in a row with no playoffs and no appearances here, cannot be justified. That's three years in a row where he could have had a very prominent role. Going once would have been sufficient.

Looks like everyone is gonna get a BIG (undeserved) raise.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

ugh....................Dubas.

I'd have considered Suzuki for the olympics but now I think his chances should probably be 0 unless he has a good reason for this.

As per Danny Briere, Drysdale might need to get surgery on his lower body/core area. That'll likely rule him out.

 

[Playmaker82]

Ouch. The alternatives on D is kind of thin now after the top 3. Durzi is RFA, Drysdale (and Guhle?) injured, Walman... (Who knows there). Whos next in line? Joseph and?

 

[MatBarzal]

Canada calls Mangiapane and Huberdeau to the national team, but does not call Kadri and Tippett. Where is the logic?
