They'd do OK against NHL bottom feeders?
Take note that only 2 members of the 2005 WJC defense were good enough to be NHL regulars the following 2006 season. Combine that with having a 19 y.o. Jeff Glass in net and the results would not be pretty vs NHL teams.
No one is saying they would do well against NHL competition, just the Islanders.
The question was actually how would the current team fare against AHL and ECHL competition, and I say they would beat the E teams consistently, and win some AHL games.
But of course they are all tiny, weak, non-experienced children who can't handle the rigors of the giant beasts of the AHL or EcHL.
Never mind the fact that the WJs have played on a HUGE stage, whereas most ECHLers have played in front of crowds from major cities such as Swift Current and Lethbridge.
There are truly too many intangibles involved, and it leaves us speculating, which i always find fun.
