How many Leafs will we see at the World Juniors?

[LeafChief]

How many Leafs prospects will we see at the World Juniors this Christmas?

Below are the list of eligible players. Have I missed anyone?

Sweden: Nylander, Engvall, Timashov, Lindgren

Canada: Marner, Dermott

U.S.: Bracco, Joshua

Russia: Korostelev

I didn't list players like Picchinich, Desrocher or Nielsen who probably have little to no chance of playing.

How many Leafs do you think we'll see?

joffrey and marner are prob the only 2 that I'll be paying close attention to


just being honest


unless dermott makes it too

 

[tmlms13]

doubt Leafs make Nylander available.

 

[Pholus]

Dzierkals will be on the Latvian team, but apparently they've been relegated into the 1A division.

who is joffrey?

King Joffrey = Big Willy

 

[WTFMAN99]

Wish it was in Toronto again, I enjoyed going last time!

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Dermott should have a good chance of cracking Canada's defence, our D isn't exactly going to be stacked at the next WJCs

 

[doorman]

I disagree I think they hope he goes and dominates. this is the type of tournament players and teams love to be in watch them grow and lead their teams

You won't have to wait long.

 

[The Hockey Life]

I think Dermott will make it. Besides camp, i'll probably watch him a lot here. Hope he can anchor the power play like scouting reports suggested.

 

[Smif]

Cool, I didn't know Timashov represented Sweden.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Canada: Dermott, Marner

Latvia: Dzierkals

USA: Bracco

Russia: Korostelev

Sweden: Nylander, Lindgren

I see these players making it which is surprising as its usually only 2 or 3 Leafs at the world juniors

 

[Babcocks Marner]

Canada: Dermott, Marner

Latvia: Dzierkals

USA: Bracco

Russia: Korostelev

Sweden: Nylander, Lindgren

This!

Funny thing is, take out the new drafted players, and who makes it?
I am starting to really like Hunter, a lot.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

I see Bracco vs Marner lines - being the talk of the tourney.


---Strome-Marner
vs
----Mathews-Bracco

Kinda similar type lines.

 

[Bullseye]

Sweden: Timashov, Lindgren

Canada: Marner, Dermott

U.S.: Bracco, Joshua

Russia: Korostelev

Latvia: Dzierkals

Finally we get to watch players in the world juniors

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

I can't remember, when are these usually held? In December?

Dec 26th to I believe Jan 5th

Everyone whose eligible has a shot. Literally everyone. They are all great talents. Piccinich is probably the longest shot.

We did that great of a job these past two years.

Canada: Dermott, Marner, Desrochers & Nielsen
Latvia: Dzierkals
Sweden: Engvall, Lindgren, Timashov, Nylander
USA: Piccinich, Joshua, Bracco
Russia: Korostelev

All of them, barring they have good seasons, could at the very least be invited to camp. People don't know how good guys like Desrochers truly are... He was arguably the best defenseman on Oshawa this past year... Yes, better than Vande Sompel.

Desrochers and Nielsen weren't invited to summer camp for Canada, I don't know much about them, but Dermott and Marner definitely. Marner on the top line against Nylander on Sweden's top line will be fun to watch.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Kapanen for Finland

We will have at least 1 top 6 forward on all of the major teams in the WJC. Marner for Canada, Nylander for Sweden, Kapanen for Finland, Korostelov for Russia

 

[Neil Hamburger]

Maybe Bracco for the US as well.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Maybe Bracco for the US as well.

True, he should be a good bet to make their top 6/9 as well

 

[leafsgirl12]

doubt Leafs make Nylander available.

i think they might if he is playing with the marlies at the moment
