Huberdeau would be the best player for Canada. He impressed myself in the way in put out point and score the big goal, he's a gamebreaker for sure. Give it to him at speedy skilled center like Ryan Strome and a big strong powerforward like Stone than he's the scoring leader in WHL... and you have your first line. You can add a goal scorer like Toffoli in the lineup, but you didn't anybody than he can protect the puck, make space for your skills guys, so it's the reason why i take Stone over a guy like Toffoli.
My second line is a identique copy of the first line, except your big boy take the faceoff. Scheifele will help the team with he's big and strong shape. He will go to the dirt area and score goal. Schwartz is a very sick passer. He can repere his teammates very quickly and make some nice pass. Rattie is a gamble between he and Toffoli. You take guy like that to score goal, but i think Rattie could be more useful because of his speed, something than Toffoli didn't have.
Phillips isn't the fastly forward, but he's anticipating vision is great. He can read the play excessivly fast and help his team defensivly. He can take faceoff and contribue at both end of the ice. If Phillips isn't fast as some other guy, Howden is the faster guy of this team for sure. An excellent two-way player, than he can be dangerous on PK. Gallagher will complete this trio with his scoring ability. In spite of is 5 foot 8, he drives the net well and he's a little pitbull.
To finish, he's my Hammer Line. Ross-Bulmer-Jenner, what a sick one. Ross and Bulmer will add some grit and some toughness to this group. I hope than the two guy will be more discipline than Della Rovere was when he plays for Canada. The One-Two punch can change the game by them intensity. Jenner really look like an other Adam Henrique. He's a top faceoff circle winner and he's a hard working forward and give the best of him everytime is on the ice.
Defensivly, Gormley will be the leader. He supposes to make the team last year, but he's be injured just before the camp. He's a great defenseman at both end, than he can contribute offensivly and defensivly.
Morrow will surprise everybody. He's a aggressive defenseman, than he make the good play and work hard. I like his game and how much is good in his decisions. He had a really big strong shot
Hamilton is the full package of what you want in a defenseman. He's big, he's strong, he's tough and he's good at both ends. He will but my #2. He's the style of guy than he will perform in every situations.
Beaulieu is my PMD. Mobile, sick skating ability and made a lot of improvement in his defensive game. He will lead the rush and turn on the PP.
Pysyk and Oleksiak is my Two Twin Towers. They will be very effective to clear the net and play tough. They had some grits to the D. They will be very useful in PK time, to block shot and give the easy way for the keeper.
I take Murphy for the 7 spot because i saw what i saw offensivly by Ryan Ellis. Nice skills, very very offensivly, bu i can't insert him into the Top 6, because of his defensive game, i'm not very convinced
Bunz is my number one! He's big in his net and he makes a lot of improvement in his game. I'm not a Visentin fan because of what i saw last year.
Wedgewood and Domingue will play for the last spot. I will gave the advantage to Domingue because i saw a big improvement in his mental game, that's what he's wrong with him since his beginning. This year, he's strong at every game and when he give a poor goal, he come back with some goods save, than what he doesn't make last year.
