WC: Team Canada 2024

[jj cale]

I would be hoping for better then McMicheal this year myself but we may be forced into it.

Have to think Byfield will be getting the call and I assume he would be a go.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Colin Shirley would be a good veteran add.

That would be nice.

That would be nice.

It would be, not a star by any means yet but he's a good player now and could really help this team.

He's young and needs to start getting his reps at these events.

Yes! That's what came to my mind, too.

Remember when Andrei Vasilevskiy was the 2nd coming of Hasek?

That seems like forever ago. Expect a bunch of Canadian Lightning players to be available in about an hour or two.

Available sure but I very much doubt you will see guys like Stamkos and Point going.

I don’t know who Colin Shirley is, but I always think it’s cool when Canada takes some boys making their trade in Europe.

I can't imagine us getting any players from Vegas anytime soon. Vegas looks so good - I thought Dallas was the dark horse of the playoffs but, boy-o-boy, they are getting manhandled.

Edit : I leave for 5 minutes and Dallas has tied it up.

I spoke too soon. How did Dallas win this game? Minus 10-15 minutes in the 2nd, it was ALL Vegas. WOW!

canada will play on sunday against austria and we still dont know rosters, i think if crosby goes we would know it already .. so no crosby i guess

I will be very surprised if the Canadian leadership managed to hide this information.

Stupid post. Canada wouldn't risk Shirley at this tournament. Running Shirley - McDavid - MacKinnon down the middle at a best on best is too tempting to risk for this tournament.

 

[jj cale]

I googled this guy and found him on elite prospects, It says............." Colin Shirley has no endorsements yet"

That's hard to fathom for a guy who is ripping it up with 36 points this season for the Fyfe flyers.

Dylan Strome declined an invite.

Hagel, Cirelli, or Duclair from TB?

Getting thinner and thinner by the day. Still cannot believe Suzuki said no.

Getting thinner and thinner by the day. Still cannot believe Suzuki said no.

Don't think Duclair will go as an UFA and his injury history

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Barzal, Dobson, Horvat, Pelech, and Pulock are potential options now

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Scheifele, Morrissey, Perfetti, Vilardi, Toffoli, Monohan, and Broissoit are now available.

 

[NA Hockey]

Perfetti, Toffoli and Monohan don’t have contracts so I doubt they would go.

If Canada can‘t get star players from first round exit teams they could consider taking derek grant from the ZSC Lions he has played very well and would fit in a bottom 6 role which he also played in the NHL, he even scored two hattricks in the playoffs in the very competitive swiss National League but of course id would be nicer if canada can assemble some nhl stars instead of players like this.

We might even put in a call to Billy Stemhovilichski.

Man Grant‘s not that bad he played 430ish NHL games there have been worse players who played for Canada in the WC

He's a professional hockey player so of course he can play hockey but a bit out of his element at this tournament I think.

Who knows ? with the amount of names we have right now we may have to look to a guy like Grant. If that happens we are not likely winning though.
