Its in Calgary. Im assuming the reason for that is travel purposes. It would be stupid to have guys from out west fly to Ontario only to have a longer flight over to Europe.
He gets a lot of help from MacKinnon. He isn't as good as his stats say. He will probably be a top-10 pick, but there are a few better players than him (like Barkov, for example)
Huberdeau-RNH-Scheifele
Hudon-Strome-Rattie
McNeill-Jenner-Wilson
Camara-Danault-Ritchie
Rielly-Hamilton
Harrington-Ouellet
Murphy-Dumba
Reinhart
Subban
Binnington
Brossoit
This is Bob McKenzie's currently projected depth chart. I still think it would be a mistake to not include Drouin/MacKinnon
McKenzie's in love with Hudon. I think it would be a huge mistake to count on Hudon to produce in a top-6 role. That's not to say he's not good offensively or won't produce, I just think he'd be best in more of a Freddie Hamilton role: shut-down third-liner, first option on PK, and also quietly was 4th in points on TC last year.

I don't understand why they wouldn't invite Theo and keep the line together from Niagara? Am I being horribly biased in wondering this?
What's the reason for Brendan Leipsic being left off the roster? You know the guy 4th in whl scoring.
Theoret is being carried by those two on that line not good enough. On another note I have no clue why Percy was left off for someone like Pouliot, they already have plenty offensive type defenceman and Pouliot has very little chance to make it imo.
Didnt realize he was doing so good, and he would be a great checker in a defensive role.
?
Leipsic would be useless outside of a top 6 role. It's why he wasn't invited, because he obviously wouldn't have beat out the competition this year.
Im not so sure. He is small, but he is gritty and tough. Dirty and pesky with pretty good wheels. Not easy to make the team in a lockout year though, but it isnt completely ridiculous to throw his name out there for consideration imo.

I know that there are players better than him haha, and Barkov is a special player, there is no doubt in my mind that he goes straight to the NHL, but its becoming a commonality for talented players to go the NHL straight out of the draft. He is near as good as his numbers say, I have watched him play on numerous occasions. To be in the same level of draftee as let's say, Lindholm and Monahan, is quite the feat, and that is where he is at. I personally don't think his game is NHL ready, but you really never know with talented prospects. Guys like Skinner and Burmistrov can make the NHL as 18 year olds. Drouin has a lot to offer, and in near a years time, there is a lot of progress to be made.

My opinion:
Liepsic wasnt invited because the only notable about him during the Summer Series was the inability of announcers to say his name.

Just because the summer series was the only time you've seen a player doesn't mean that's the only time hc has seen a player. People on here are putting way too much stock in a couple of games played in August
