Pouliot and Dixon, but no Crosby?

If I'm not mistaken the list provided by Wabs was those invited to the summer camp. The list of those who will be invited to the December camp has yet to be determined, though it will be quite similar.

If Crosby keeps performing at the level he has been so far in the Q, I dont see how he wont at the very least get a invite to camp.

In a perfect world my team Canada would like....

Nash
Bouchard
Horton
Staal
Paille
Stewart
Getzlaf
Carter
Burns
S. Bernier
Tambellini
Richards
Talbot/Pouliot/Crosby

Phaneuf
Coburn
Seabrook
Klein
White
Belle
Bissonnette

Fleury
Crawford

My back down to earth team Canada looks like....

Carter
Paille
Stewart
Getzlaf
Burns(knowing Minnesota chances are good he will be released)
Pouliot
Crosby
Bernier
Tambellini
Richards
Locke
Talbot
Dawes
Fehr/Murray/Filewich/Coliton

Phaneuf
Coburn
Seabrook
Klein
White
Belle
Bissonnette

Crawford
Deslariers

[Roughneck]

Provided we got all of our NHLers (except for Bouchard and Nash), this would be my Canada roster.

Goaltenders:
Marc-Andre Fleury--obvious reasons. He's the best goalie out there and led the team to the Gold Medal Game last year winning top goalie honours. This year he'll have an even better defense in front of him too.
Josh Harding--This guy is amazing. He's been keeping Regina as a competetive team for 2 years now and was WHL MVP last year. He can steal games fom people and he could even steal the starters job from M.A. Fleury.

Defense:
Ian White--gets the job by being the only returnee on the blue-line, and also because he's good. He can lead the rush and QB the power play. Potential captain as well.
Braydon Coburn--will have to be the back-bone of the blue line. He'll have to lead rushes, stop rushes, and use his passing ability to create offense. Potential All-Star
Dion Phaneuf--fills the physical role and will also see some PP time (or should anyway). Will clear the net and rock people more than Tootoo. Plan to look at the roof if you cut through the middle when he's out there.
Brent Seabrook--has size, leadership, skill in all situations, adds tremendous durability to this D-line. Can play with anybody anywhere, he can move the puck and play physical. He's not exceptional at any, but is still very good.
Shawn Belle--has size and speed. Two things Canada needs. He'll love it on the big ice and should do very well out there. Best D-partner would be Phaneuf. Best skater vs. weakest skater of the group.
Kevin Klein--provides a good all around game as well as leadership and experience. While I don't know much about his specialties, but the consensus seems to be that he's the only real frontrunner for a non-WHL defenseman.
Josh Gorges--he's very underrated and is very used to playing with White and also provides size as well as a great overall game. I usually reserve the 7th spot for a young player, but with 5 of these D-men eligible to return next year, preparing for the future really isn't necessary.

Forwards:
Corey Locke---should have been on the team last year, but he'll just have to double his efforts this year. He was built for the WJCs and should be a key player for Canada. He'll also have more room to work on the big ice.
Eric Staal--Another who should have been on the team last year, he'll be looked upon to lead the team from the offensive standpoint. Playing him with 2 scoring wingers could work wonders.
Jeff Tambellini--he's fast and has good hands. Him, Staal and Locke will be the experienced unit that needs to lead by example. He's used to the big ice and can put the puck in the net.
Nathan Horton--his game could be too much for some of the smaller teams. Crashing the net and hitting along the boards is exactly what every team needs to be successful. And Horton is also clutch.
Anthony Stewart--see above. not only that, what a great place to see these guys together.
Jeff Carter--big, skilled and a centre. can't have too many centres.
Marc-Antoine Pouliot--he's crafty, fast and a can play in loads of situations. Can make the game-breaking plays too.
Eric Fehr---Adds a combination of grit, size and skill to a team that is built around it. Picture Jeff Carter on the wing.
Ryan Getzlaf--would be best used on this team in a defensive/checking role. Has skill, but not as much as most of the players. He'll have to play to his strengths and his intangibles will be greatly appreciated by this team.
Mike Richards--intensity and loads of talent with this little guy. He can also play well defensively but can also do alot offensively. I really like this guy and believe that he could make the difference on this team.
Dan Paille--only forward returnee and will play a similar role yet again. Willl need to be a leader and also play to his strengths.
Sidney Crosby--add him for experience, and because he's probably the most talented player in the country. there isn't one thing soebody can say to me that can convince me that Crosby doesn't deserve to be on the team.

Maybe Patrice Bergeron..

But the way he is playing, I don,t think he'll be released...

 

[Slay]

Any chance at Khomutov making team Russia with a strong first half in the CHL?

Oh I forgot about him. Yeah I think he can be considered as a contender to the main roster. He is a center so his main rivals will be Kazionov and Malkin, probably he has a chance replace Kazionov who looks not so good in RSL at the moment.

 

[Slay]

how often do imported players make team Russia.

In previous year 2 imported players made the main roster:

Evgeni ARTYUKHIN played in Moncton Wildcats
Timofei SHISHKANOV played in Quebec Remparts

So I think Khomutov has a chance if he will be playing well.

can't see Fleury being released with the way he is playing it Pitt

i'd like to see JDD as the starter if Fleury can't come

 

[Kevin Forbes]

Any chance of Tim Brent or Corey Perry making the final Canada WJC roster?

 

[Canada Girl]

Ian White--gets the job by being the only returnee on the blue-line, and also because he's good. He can lead the rush and QB the power play. Potential captain as well.

Ian White has a fractured ankle and is out 6-8 weeks I think... THey say he could miss World Juniors, which would suck.

 

[Johnny]

Any chance of Tim Brent or Corey Perry making the final Canada WJC roster?

Sure there is a chance, that chance comes with the invite to camp, then ultimately comes down to whether or not they impress the staff enough to warrant a spot on the roster.

I myself wouldn't count on either making it and feel they are both longshots. They are both quality players at the CHL level, but I personally feel there are better choices out there.

With that said, I'm not part of the coaching staff, so I really dont have a clue as to how these two are seen in the eyes of those making the selections.

 

[Johnny]

Any chance of Tim Brent or Corey Perry making the final Canada WJC roster?

In order for Perry to have a chance he needs to get a invite to camp first, as he wasn't invited to the summer camp. Both are longshots, but that would definitely make Perry a longshot even more so then Brent.

If a invitation to the December camp is given, sure there is a chance, anything can happen. The chance comes with the invite to camp, then ultimately comes down to whether or not they impress the coaching staff enough to warrant a spot on the roster.

Alot will depend on who if anyone will be released from their respective NHL clubs.

I personally wouldn't count on either Brent or Perry making the final roster. Both are quality players at the CHL level, but I feel there are better choices out there.

With that said, I really dont know how hockey Canada and the coaching staff views either of these players.

 

[Epsilon]

Nash getting released is almost a guaranteed no, while Fleury would likely depend on how Pittsburgh's other goalies are playing. If Pittsburgh intends to play him more than 50 games I'd guess it's unlikely he would be. Horton and Staal I think are much more likely to end up being released since neither would really be considered a key guy for their respective teams right now the way Nash and Fleury are.

Vladislav Evseev is only 5'11, 180? I thought he was 6'2...

My mistake. I've checked now mettalurg.ru and he is listed 185cm and 86kg so it is 6'1 and 190 though at the RussianProspects he is listed 6'2/200.

Nash getting released is almost a guaranteed no, while Fleury would likely depend on how Pittsburgh's other goalies are playing. If Pittsburgh intends to play him more than 50 games I'd guess it's unlikely he would be. Horton and Staal I think are much more likely to end up being released since neither would really be considered a key guy for their respective teams right now the way Nash and Fleury are.

Staal is a key guy for the Hurricanes, don't expect to see him unless he starts to really struggle.

I dont think Marc-Andre Fleury will be in the nets for Canada. Harding or Ward?

Can Tootoo still play?! Oh god I hope he can!

I think the Russians round up on size and weight.

In order for Perry to have a chance he needs to get a invite to camp first, as he wasn't invited to the summer camp. Both are longshots, but that would definitely make Perry a longshot even more so then Brent.

If a invitation to the December camp is given, sure there is a chance, anything can happen. The chance comes with the invite to camp, then ultimately comes down to whether or not they impress the coaching staff enough to warrant a spot on the roster.

Alot will depend on who if anyone will be released from their respective NHL clubs.

I personally wouldn't count on either Brent or Perry making the final roster. Both are quality players at the CHL level, but I feel there are better choices out there.

With that said, I really dont know how hockey Canada and the coaching staff views either of these players.

For the record, I would just like to say that I was dead wrong when I wrote this post about a month ago. I'd say I definitely sold both Brent and Perry short when calling them longshots.

I think as far as Perry was concerned I was still stuck in 02-03. I now see that he looks like he is headed in the right direction as a hockey player. Adding 15 lbs, playing with more of a edge, as well as confidence, definitely has myself liking what I'm seeing. His skill was never in question.

Brent to has opened my eyes, and looks like a very good all around player.

So while the two may not exactly be locks, they both would likely be on my team, and I'd have to think their chances are pretty good for the actual team.

TSN and the Penguins website is reporting this, so I think it's official: Marc-Andre Fleury will play for Canada!

Can Pushkarev play for Russia or not?

I know he's from Khazakstan, but he's been playing in the RSL but I don't think that makes a difference, does it?
