Winnipeg: Leon Gawanke, D
I’ve watched a little of Gawanke in the QMJHL this season and for Germany at the world juniors B pool. I don’t see a guy who is going to make a high-level play with dazzling speed and skill, but he does a lot fine. He skates decent, has a nice stick, moves the puck reasonably well and can be OK defensively. Is that an NHL player even at 6-foot-1? I’m not so sure, but I think, at the very least, he has a chance.
Turning into extra mid-game doesn't sound very good for his chancesStanley didn't play too much in the third. Seemed like he got unpaired from Mahura and became the extra. Lots of D dressed. He even took one shift on the right side. He also played on the PK exclusively on the right side. I wasn't all that impressed with Canada's D TBH. Even Clague and Mete had their "moments." Those black numbers on the red jerseys really didn't make it easy to keep track of things as well as I would have liked. Basically I have a tough time handicapping anything based on what I saw.
We'll have to wait and see if Stanley survives the first round of cuts.

That's a big "meh" from Pronman.Pronman

Will there be more than 2, or is Stanley safe for now?
Figured they'd be looking for quicker guys. Team USA and Sweden are going to be fast on the backend they want to try and match it.
Cody Glass is probably the biggest surprise but he was pretty underwhelming today and in the game I saw him play here in Vancouver
Ya, I was surprised by that too, although they seem to think you need a good camp, regardless of what your name is.Cody Glass is probably the biggest surprise but he was pretty underwhelming today and in the game I saw him play here in Vancouver

Glass cut is extremely bizarre and if Canada doesn't win Gold people (esp on HFB) will question the decision.
Not too suprised about Stanley, but very happy he was in the conversation.
He's 9th in league scoring at 18. He's pretty okay.Yeah I think Glass will turn it around. He's in a rough patch, everyone goes through them. The timing just sucks for him because it's during Camp.
