Did not expect to see Crotty on there. 0 pts in 13 games so far, his defensive must REALLY stand out to be picked

 

[MIGs Dog]

Sweet. I forgot about Crotty.

good size, 6-3, 183. He'll fill out.

They are actually invited tot he selection camp, they haven't made the team yet.

jumped the gun a bit, thanks. Updated

Crotty assisted on one of Canada's three goals last night in their second exhibition game. It wasn't enough to save him from the first round of cuts.

And then there was one.

And then there was one.

What?

What?

Only Hayton still at Camp.

Only Hayton still at Camp.

Got it!

 

[Alberta Yote]

PO getting cut is kind of a shock. Must’ve struggled in camp.

On a team full of top RD prospects a spot for a 19 year old LD POJ was his to lose. This is a disappointment. I don’t know how it could be viewed otherwise.

 

[lanky]

Seriously surprising. Did he sleep with the coach's niece?

 

[lanky]

Only Hayton still at Camp.

Cuts are complete. Premium will play.

 

[Alberta Yote]

Cuts are complete. Premium will play.

Isn’t there still a couple of forwards to be cut? Although it looks like injuries might take care of that.

 

[hbk]

My expectations for Hayton are low offensively but high on him playing on PK and playing a strong 200 foot game. Next year he will have a more prominent role offensively IMO.

Where? SSM or here?

 

[Jormungandr]

Where? SSM or here?

I’d imagine with the WJ team.

To be fair he's a Coyote prospect so of course he's going to disappoint.

WJC.

Agreed. He is the youngest player on the roster. (Aside from 1 underager) It’s a huge accomplishment to make Team Canada at his age.

 

[ParisSaintGermain]

Excellent news for Hayton, hopefully he can go there with limited expectations placed on him, earn a lot of experience and perhaps surprise.
Disappointing for POJ though, was really looking forward to seeing how he would match against the very best of his age group.

 

[CLW]

Disappointed POJ didn't make it. My initial reaction to this pick was wth? but I read up on him and want to believe in him. Can't say I am not sold on him yet. Hopefully he takes the cut as a challenge.

Best of luck to Hayton.

 

[Heldig]

In practice (last lineup I saw) Hayton was centering the 2nd line and is on the point of the 1st unit PP.

Hockey Canada seems to love the kid.
