[Eye of Ra]

Anyone care to take a stab? I know there is a thread like this in another section, but its tradition to have a similar thread over here.


Mackinnon, Drouin, Reinhart, Ekblad, Lazar and Nurse in NHL.

Poirier is 94 born.

 

[PricerStopDaPuck]

Poirier is 94 born.

Yeah. I swapped him for Bleakley and changed the lines a bit.

 

[Playmaker09]

Hopefully the small ice (is it going to be on small ice?) will help, but I get the feeling that D squad is going to get torched.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Hopefully the small ice (is it going to be on small ice?) will help, .

Yep. In Toronto and Montreal.

hopefully ekblad will be loaned back to solidify that back end, if not there will be no problems producing offense from the back but steady defence may be an issue


I would also find room for Baptiste up front, not sure for who

 

[BarDownBobo]

I think Nurse will be back in Jrs, and if Edm drafts Ekblad I'd like to see him there too.

Bennett - McDavid - Horvat

McKeown - Morissey
Bigras - Theodore
Heatherington - Morin
Subban

Comrie

Tough for me to see Horvat in the NHL but you never know. With the way Phoenix is right now I think Domi makes NHL and I still argue that Nurse isn't a lock next year either so he may wind up on here.

 

[MPStoEberletoHall*]

If the Oilers draft Ekblad. I'm positive Nurse will be sent back

 

[StuckOutHere]

Hopefully this year they play Gauthier on the pk. Never figured why he was there this year and not pking.

 

[ecemleafs]

duclair is having a monster 18 year old year. i dont see how many canadian 18 and younger wingers can be better than him right now.

 

[YEGJuniorFan]

Duclair, Domi, Dal Colle, Petan, Bennett, Ritchie, Gauthier, Klimchuck, de Leo, Virtanen, McDavid, Barzal, possibly Lazar for forwards

 

[Leviathan]

Why is everyone assuming Reinhart will make the NHL? I don't think he's physically ready.

 

[Pay Carl]

Why is everyone assuming Reinhart will make the NHL? I don't think he's physically ready.

If there was one criticism to make of Reinhat I really don't know if its with his physicality. Not like he is a power forward but he takes the body and has decent size unlike other small guys like RNH

Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't get that vibe from him

 

[YNWA14]

Even if Lazar is in the NHL I could see Ottawa letting him go for the WJC.

Dal Colle - McDavid - Lazar

Forgot about Klimchuk, would have him on my roster.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't get that vibe from him

Reinhart doesn't engage physically nearly as much as the Nuge. From a size and strength perspective, Reinhart should be fine (I could see him being 6'1 190 by training camp), but he is far from a physical player. He kind of plays like Toews, but with less tenacity.

 

[Aceboogie]

Id slot in Greg Chase as a 4th line/ energy player. I know Canada has brought some of these guys in the past.

35 goals 50 assists 85 points in 70 games this season, so he skill as well

 

[Velociraptor]

I have high hopes for this team, unlike last year.

I think McDavid is going to be a lot better by the time the 2014-15 OHL season starts, we should see the best performance by a Canadian junior since Brayden Schenn. Comrie/Fucale is also a very legitimate goaltending tandem.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Virtanen should be a lock.

 

[puckfan13]

Except he doesn't really play with energy, he acts like a pest when it's suitable for him right now, other times he is lazy and stops moving his feet and takes bad penalties and makes lazy plays for the puck. Excellent offensive skills and talent, but he is not a 4th line energy player on the World Juniors from what he showed this season.
