Lol Chytil is not going to the WJC.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

When was the last time a player was in the middle of a season in the NHL and they sent him to the world juniors (besides Duclair cuz they sent him back to juniors right after)? Nuge?

The Canucks released Virtanen to play for Canada a few years ago if I remember correctly.

 

[Joey Bones]

I have 6.

1. Kravtsov
2. Miller
3. Lundkvist
4. Ragnarsson
5. Keane
6. Gross

I counted Chytil, too, but I think it's obvious he's staying with NYR....

 

[Fvital92]

Sending Chytil to the WJC would be a mistake. He's an NHL player now.

If he doesn't perform to the sky high expectations that will be placed on him, he may have to work to rebuild his confidence when he gets back, and regardless of his performance he will have to get back up to NHL speed once he returns.

The kid is learning how to be a professional in the best league in the world and has already had one big leap in development this year; playing against kids on thrown together teams is more likely to be disruptive to that process than it is to help it along.

And he would probably play with scrubs while Necas gets all the toys in Zadina and Kaut.

 

[nyr2k2]

Keane had 1+1. The goal was an ENG.

Gropp had a goal and Day an assist for Maine. Halverson continued playing well stopping 40/42.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Hughes represents Canada at international? I thought he was from Massachusetts

That's interesting. May be he'll make the team due to his chemistry with Newhook.

Highly unlikely but also shocked hes playing for Canada.

Born in MA, but Canadian parents

 

[Lays]

Here’s a nice save if anyone still cares about Halverson lol

 

[Machinehead]

Figured these would be fun to look at. I picked numbers they've worn or close to it.

Rangers should just give Kandre 10 it would save some people money

Those are really weird D pairings and I don't think Hughes is a goalie.

@EdJovanovski would likely have his head explode.

 

[Kovalev27]

He wears 19 at Wisconsin. We can pull that off Fast nonproblem.

Digging Kravstovs 74

Can't pull it out of the rafters

 

[Kovalev27]

Oh duh Ratelle we just retired it. Fast is wearing 17. Well let’s tske that from him then lol

 

[Irishguy42]

Yeah, I'm on board with the idea of re-signing Fast all the time and having him change numbers each season.

The only knock I have is that Shestyorkin will be Shesterkin in English. Other than that, I dig it!!

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Liljegren our a few weeks with a high ankle sprain, so I guess both of our guys aren’t getting cut

The way Lundkvist is playing there’s no reason to expect he would because he shouldn’t.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Sure, but Ragnarsson definitely is lower on the depth chart

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Sure, but Ragnarsson definitely is lower on the depth chart

Also if Liljegren misses the World Juniors it should secure Nils top 4 ice time

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

The way Lundkvist is playing there’s no reason to expect he would because he shouldn’t.

I definitely agree, I was worried they wouldn’t even invite him to camp but looking at the invites I thought he was a lock, but now it doesn’t even matter hahaha

I’ve seen it happen a few times — and every time I can recall the result has been a disaster. The kid hasn’t performed at all.

It’s a big adjustment to go from juniors to the NHL. Going back to juniors is just as big advantage. You cheat at that level because it gives you an advantage, not because you don’t know better.
