GDT: World Junior Championships Roster Thread

[herashak]

While I like Morgan as a player, I've always felt he was kind of slow for a guy that's sub 6 feet. He just doesn't have anything about his game that makes him stand out against the crowd. He is smart, and makes good plays. But he's not dynamic in any way really.

Our other prospects all have something to offer. Ferland- sweet hands and a physical force, Sven - great vision, Johnny- dangle, granlund- smarts, Poirier- speed, aggression, and a cannon, Jooris, speed and heart.

I think klimchuk is a better skater than any of the guys you listed besides poirier.

So Curtis Lazar is getting loaned to Team Canada. He was our best forward over the summer camp so I am pretty pumped.

how can you not like that Lazar kid?! Vernon, BC boy to boot! Go Curt!

Because he has that Edmonton stink on him?

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Yeah but only at the Junior level, which barely counts.

Still tainted by Oil. Brossoit is struggling as a pro, Reinhart has yet to crack the NHL despite his high draft position. Edmonton stink is the only possible answer.

I would love to trade for Reinhart.

SO would I. I'm just trying to blame Edmonton for everything

Oh I know, and it's so easy to.

The Oil Kings are such a good franchise though, lets not lump them in with the Oilers

they are owned by the Oilers

Must be a visual ownership.

Hoping Gauthier gets cut, don't think he's good enough to make the squad

 

[Lunatik]

final cuts have been made.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Do you guys think that's a gold winning lineup? Anyone left off that you think should of made it?

 

[Calculon]

I'm probably not going to watch any of the games but Gauthier over Dal Colle seems questionable.

Yeah, I don't understand having Gauthier/Ritchie over Dal Colle either. It's like Cherry says though, Canada doesn't bring its best players.

Gauthier is likely to play centre while Dal Colle is a winger, Gauthier is a strong 2way centre

Penticton >>> Vernon

But lets not start.

 

[Yung Rotini]

final cuts have been made.

Bowey-Morrissey

HHHNNGGGHHHH.

Can't wait for that pairing in Kelowna when the tournament is over.

 

[herashak]

crazy point made it. just a great player/person

 

[Taranis]

Cannot believe Fleury got cut. Thought he played well for Canada.

I'm guessing it wasn't an easy choice

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Fleury and Dal Colle are the big ones for me. Other than McDavid, you could make an argument that Dal Colle would be our country's top player.

I would never make an argument than Dal Colle is better than Reinhart. But then again I have never thought much of Dal Colle.
