McKenzie was saying Jack Hughes might go. u18s might throw a wrench into that though.

Yeah we’ll see. They have a good potential pool of available players right now. Not a whole lot of guys without contracts for next year too.

Eichel, Kane, Saad, DeBrincat, Keller, Larkin, etc. still haven’t confirmed or denied to this point.

Well Hakstool with Canada’s staff. I guess Canada doesn’t plan on being a contending team this year in worlds.

 

[FLYguy3911]

So predictable. Hextall will never be anything if he can’t separate himself from that guy.

Canada came 2nd in 2017 when Hextall also had Hakstol as an assistant. The quality of players Canada gets will mainly decide how they do.

Never say the man couldn't pick a coach. Look at that foursome.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Just be thankful. Dave Hakstol is a dual citizen and chose the bad guys.

Hägg will play for Sweden, which is weird. Meanwhile it seems like Lindblom hasn't gotten an invite yet.

You'd think it would go the other way around.

We see a glimpse right there of who the replacement candidates would have been if Hextall did indeed fire Hakstol, and stay on as GM.

Sweden should fold as a team if Hagg makes their roster.

For Sweden, an invite if you're playing in the NHL means you're making the roster. So yeah he's making the roster... Meanwhile Dahlin, & Hjalmarsson afaik haven't gotten invited yet.

Mind-boggling. Hes literally the worst dman in the NHL.

Up that trade value Hagg!

 

[Magua]

Pumped to see Hagg wear the Tre Kronor again. Warm memories.

Wow Sweden really can’t find anyone better????

Off top of my head, Hedman, Karlsson, and Ekholm are all in the Playoffs. Im sure there are more.

They have the entire SHL to choose from. I refuse to believe there’s nobody better over there. It’s where he should be playing and I’m sure he wouldn’t be the best defensemen in that league.

I’m surprised he didn’t end up on Sweden’s coaching staff just for another chance to be near his beloved Hagg.

JJ probably hacked their computer and added Hagg to the roster

I don’t know man, JJ strikes me as the kind of guy who has no idea how to use a computer.

But yeah, its crazy how many hardcore Hagg fans there are. Blows my mind that these people can’t see how bad he is.
