Could you please Post your guess of the line up for the tournament
Its hard to predict the lineup since season progression of the players as well as the pre tournament camp and exebition games will factor into the desicion who will be on the final roster.
Here is my prediction anyway assuming Patry stays hurt:
Goalies: Schmid and Hollenstein are the clear cut one and two of the tournament. Both will probably get some opportunity in the group stage and the starter will be determined there. Number 3 will be more likely a younger Goalie. Probably Patenaude despite some terrible QMJHL games on a bad team or maybe even Henauer.
Schmid/Hollenstein
Patenaude or Henauer
Dmen: The D-Corps is our biggest position of strength. I expect all elegible players from last year to return since they played such a good tournament. The last spot on the third pairing might be decided in camp. If we assume Heinen from Davos stays hurt I really think Meier has a got chance to grab the spot since he is less mistake prone than both Delemont and Chanton.
Berni-Aebischer
Moser-Gross
Barandun-Meier
Forwards: The Center depth is by far the biggest weakpoint of this team. Nussbaumer is the 1 C but the order of the other three is hard to predict at this point. Maybe they will play a winger there like you suggested with Weibel.
Gerber-Nussbaumer-Sopa
Jobin-Schmid-Knak
Kohler-Verboon-Stoffel
Derungs-Wetter-Weibel
Vouillamoz
This would be my choice for the Forward lineup. Line composition could vary depending on chemistry. I would already bring in Derungs in a so he could earn experience for next year. I don't think he would do worse than the likes of Christen, Dähler, Schläpfer etc. This F-corps would be rather small though wich is always dangerous on the international stage. So i could see the training staff bring in some more size for one of the more diminutive players. This is also why I left Schwenninger of the roster, even as a 13th forward.
