TSN: 2016 World Junior Championship (Colin White Edition)

[Rals]

Konecny is going to beast.


We should have selected him.

Konecny is going to beast.


We should have selected him.

Instead of who?

White and Chabot look like better prospects right now.

 

[BonkTastic]

Konecny is going to beast.


We should have selected him.

White already looks better than Konecny.

White is already being talked about as a Hobey Baker finalist. In his freshman year.



We made the right pick.

 

[Back in Black]

I'm hoping Chabot makes it on TC and of course I'm rooting for the red and white regardless, but I'm going to be highly interested in what White is up to on team USA.

Gonna be a great 1st game against USA, Saturday Dec. 26 @ 1:00 pm

All CANADA games will be 1:00 pm in the first round.

Chabots chances went up with Walman out.

Oh well! He chose USA first, so were would his heart be if it was a Can/USA final????

Finland's preliminary WJC roster:

Sweden's preliminary roster:




Sens 2nd rounder Andreas Englund will be wearing #6.

 

[Proust*]

Surprised Englund is lacing them up for Sweden.

 

[BonkTastic]

Surprised Englund is lacing them up for Sweden.

AFAIK, he's the anchor on their shutdown d-pair. He's going to do a lot of heavy lifting for Sweden in his own zone and on the PK. Plus, he's a favorite to get at least an assistant's "A".

Not sure why you would be surprised.

 

[BUCKLE UP]

Karlsson is the best backar in the league.

 

[Back in Black]

Karlsson is the best backar in the league.

I didn’t know he was playing in the juniors ???

 

[Boud]

This is good news for Chabot.

 

[FlapjackSilver]

May be old news for some.. and I don't have a link (1200);

White has been named (invited?) to the 29 man American roster.

 

[EK47]

Karlsson is the best backar in the league.

He's so good he's plural

[Boud]

Interested to see Siegenthaler and Malgin from Switzerland. I was hoping for Siegenthaler at the draft, Malgin is great but obviously a little small.

They're going to lean a lot on Pius Suter as well. He'll have a good tournament, should be the #1C, with Malgin centering the 2nd line.

 

[BondraTime]

Auguste Impose is an interesting guy, not many players/prospects with ties to Congo.

Team USA WJC Camp invite list: ("summer only" column is players who will not play in the WJC)

Why would Bracco and Connor not be released for the tourney?

And seriously Carolina... You wont let Hanifin go? What are you trying to go from 26th place to 25th haha.

What do you mean? They don't have to be released, they are not even signed by their teams yet. They just never got invited.

They weren't big enough Engelbert Humperdinck fans ?

Forgot Bracco went to the CHL, but in Connor's case, I thought college teams had to allow players to go to the tourney like NHL teams.

 

[starling]

Bunch of names on that US list I've never even heard of. Like Ryan Hitchcock 5-10 forward who was passed twice in the draft and has 6pts in 11gp as a sophomore in Yale. Huh?
