I doubt Gaudreau makes it this year, but you never know. Canada usually takes older goalies, and he's also gonna be behind Cossa from this year.
The other 4 should be there though. And other than Wiesblatt, should have impactful roles.

You may be right about Gaudreau not making the final roster but hopefully he gets a shot to make the team via a camp invite. From last years team, Levi and Gauthier have aged out. So Cossa and Garand are likely the favourites for the top two spots but Gaudreau should definitely be in the mix for the third spot along with Lennox and Brochu.

As a lifelong die hard Michigan football fan this is so cool to see. I actually remember being a kid and watching Biakabatuka play. He was amazing.

Stopped by to say: The line of Eklund - Bordeleau - Weisblatt and all of them thriving to their potential just give me goosebumps.

I want to see a line of Weisblatt-Raska-Coe just to see how pesty they can be. I know it would be a waste of Weisblatt's potential but it would be so fun to watch them battle for every single puck.

i agree but also aren’t they all playmakers?

They'll set up the point shot.

Seems like he's good in the length and skating department.

Biakabutuka loves to join the rush, and it's something he could continue doing with the pros due to his superior skating. He has clear defensive pride, consistently judging the best defensive angles. He's engaged, keeps his head turning, and is always in an athletic position. He has the wing-spam necessary to make stops against professionals and be disruptive off the rush. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide

Nice. If he gets a contract, DW is effectively filling out the Defensive prospect pool.

The defender leads with his knee but there is no call or stoppage. Seems odd at best.

 

[Kcoyote3]

He scored a goal that game too

Does anyone know if he came back? I don't see anything on Twitter.

The hit came with two minutes left in the game, so unlikely he came back.

With our luck Bordeleau and Eklund become one of the biggest "What ifs?" thanks to injuries

 

[Negatively Positive]

It was nice to have hope for a few days.

Eklund is the anti-jinx. He’s gonna make the team, no one will get injured, EK65 and Burns will return to Norris form and we win the cup. E5.

 

[Jargon]

Have I mentioned I’m really excited about some of the guys we have coming up? I don’t remember having this many genuinely exciting prospects… ever?

 

[one2gamble]

It's exciting because they are boom/bust kind of guys rather than guaranteed fourth liners but maybe a third liner if we are lucky

 

[Munnyro]

Don't you dare talk ill of Schoenborn!

yeah the “Great leader, hard worker, gritty, needs to work on skating” days were a dark, terrible time.
