WC: Team Canada 2024

[therealdeal]

Team USA first 15 players released, how often do they release before us?

I like our players so far, but I think we need at least one more top pairing D-man, and two more top liners to add to Bedard.

 

[Playmaker82]

CAN has around 12-13 names we already know, so hopefully they also will let out around 15 (or more) in the next days or so. But I guess they wait for the big fish (Crosby?) and some other pieces. Because where as USA already had their Top 9-ish and Top 4 ready today, my guess is that its not the case with CAN. Centaintly not if Huberdeau and Mangiapane has declined. Adding that Guhle is unsure with his injury, they have some puzzles to fix.

McCANN - (Crosby) - BEDARD
(Mangiapane/Crouse) - COZENS - (Huberdeau/Tippett)
MERCER - (Newhook) - (Guenther/Zary)
TANEV - (Frost/Greig) - (Bunting/Fabbri)

+ Some young guns in CELEBRINI, Fantilli, Foerster, Benson?

BYRAM - PARAYKO
POWER - (GUHLE)
OLEKSIAK - (Sanheim/Zellweger)
(Severson - Walman)

BINNINGTON

But yeah, the longer it takes before something is announced, the "weaker" the team probably will be.

Good job but what is with all the "Mr. X"s? LOL.

 

[Playmaker82]

Haha, Crosby was Mr X, and then it just went copy paste. Sorryyyy, (not sorry) But yeah, I will edit away those X :p

 

[ORRFForever]

I'd love to see an ALL young gun team - no one over 23. Won't happen, of course.

Haha, Crosby was Mr X, and then it just went copy paste. Sorryyyy, (not sorry)

No worries.

Things are not going well for Dallas. Some potential names coming out of that team:

F:
Wyatt Johnston
Jamie Benn
Tyler Seguin
Matt Duchene
Ty Dellandrea
Mason Marchment

D:
Thomas Harley
Chris Tanev

G:
Scott Wedgewood

Oettinger would be a boost for Team USA in goal.

Some nice reinforcements for Team Finland as well, or Jason Robertson for USA

Any news about Crosby, Huberdeau or Mangiapane?

All of them got an invite, but didn't respond yet.

This news appeared even before Mangiapane and Huberdeau received invitations

[Playmaker82]

I have not seen any confirmed declines from those two. I did see the news article mentioned though, but im not so sure that was written after Huberdeau and Mangiapane had evt declined. Cause nobody else has picked it up, and those two names is not mentioned in the article.

Don't forget Stankoven and Bourque.

 

[Playmaker82]

Especially Stankoven and Johnston would have been nice. Benn, Seguin and Duchene as well, but I dont have high hopes there.

 

[MatBarzal]

Recently, it was reported that Canada was transferred to Prague, and the United States to Ostrava. Apparently the Czechs are trying to influence the composition of Canada.

Exactly. But that decision was made last year already.

 

[Playmaker82]

That is correct. First US was in Prague and Canada in Ostrava. But a few weeks later they changed. And Canada "promised" to go with a good squad. But this was about 8 months a go.

 

[MatBarzal]

It looks like I missed this news

 

[Great99]

It looks like I missed this news

its also a funny rule , the host can change 1 team to the other group

I remember Evason from my childhood, when he was spoked on at the tv in Denmark at the worlds, Canada only have players that are not good enough for NHL, or amateur or college players . Still Canada always played for the top 4 . So everytime canada did not win , i said! Canada never had their best players

 

[ameselare]

Don't forget Stankoven and Bourque.

I think Bourque is playing for their AHL squad right now. You're right on Stankoven but if the Stars lose in Round 1 they might send him down as well - I think he was recalled post-trade deadline.

Of course this doesn't matter if the Texas Stars are eliminated from the Calder Cup playoffs as well.
