[Prominence Problem]

Also, we all talk about Smil, Sour, Sammy and Kos, but Ekmark and Puutio already made their WJC teams. We should have at least 4 prospects attending, probably 5, and possibly 6.

Sourdif CAN - round 3, 89 overall, 2020
Samoskevich USA - round 1, 29 overall, 2021
Smilanic USA - round 3, 74 overall, 2020
Kos CZE - round 6, 184 overall, 2021
Ekmark SWE - round 7, $190 overall, 2021
Puutio FIN - round five, 153 overall, 2020

@The Nemesis
Nice little blurb about Sourdif in the Athletic. They talked about all the cuts and all the players that made the team.

"RW Justin Sourdif (Florida Panthers): Sourdif’s play in the summer camp worked him into the locks conversation from the outside and he remained there with his play as the top dog on the Vancouver Giants. It doesn’t hurt that Giants head coach Mike Dyck is an assistant on the Team Canada staff either. I suspect he ends up in a checking role on the third line. Of note in practice: Sourdif uses an unusually long stick but he’s still got a deceptive release, which is hard to create with that length. Part of it, I’ve noticed, is just that the puck comes off the blade early, surprising goalies."

Nice little blurb I read today.

Elmark made it earlier. Sammo and Our Second Rounder were named
To the camp

 

[violaswallet]

Puutio made it!
Im hoping USA-Gold, Finland-Silver, Sourdif-Bronze

Nause?

Nause?

Lololololol

silly Canadian

 

[Dread Clawz]

Nause?

He doesn't like Swedes I guess(Heineman). So Smilanic is apparently our 2020 2nd rounder.

 

[Dread Clawz]

It looks like both Smilanic and Sammy are gonna make it.

I just thought it was atrocious value that looked worse because we got steals for the other picks. Smilanic and Sourdif could have been late first rounders that year without Covid; Lundell should have went first overall

It wasn't atrocious value though, he was picked where expected.

This is fake news.

 

[Dread Clawz]

This is fake news.

He was ranked 69 in Bob McKenzie's final rankings, we picked him 43. It wasnt that big of a reach at all, especially considering how there are huge reaches at the draft all the time. He's got 8 goals in the SHL so far and projects to almost double his point total from last season in just under the same amount of games, while keeping the PIM low and being a pest. I really dont know what your problem with him is. He projects as a poor man's Bennett without the high PIMs.

THird rounder drafted in second? Guy just doesn't have the skill I think you need for a NHLer

Anyways, Zito was a good used car salesman and got us some real value!

3rd ranked guy going in the 2nd? Happens all the time. We' ve seen 2nd-3rd ranked guys go in the 1st. It's called liking a player. There's nothing to suggest that he doesn't have the skill to be an NHLer. He's shown nice scoring progression from junior into the SHL. He should be at around 15 goals in his second SHL season. In fact, with his skillset he is as likely to be an NHLer as Sourdif and Smilanic. A great bottom 6er.

 

[kerrabria]

Is it confirmed that all six of those guys are going?
That's really, really impressive considering our best prospects have all graduated and we're in win-now mode.

Some teams don't have a single player going.

Not confirm that all players are going. The players listed are trying out for their respective teams

Only Kos hasn't been confirmed yet. The American, Finnish, Swedish and Canadian teams were named

 

[Prominence Problem]

I'm looking, but I don't think team Czech Republic has announced their final roster yet. It's got to be soon, as the tournament starts on December 26th.
