Prospect Info: WJC 2021

[Hannibal]

RDS is saying Tuch is still in the USA camp trying to make the team.

I thought the team was already selected?

[Roadhouse]

I know Robertson is a LW but does this not imply, even to a small extent, more resulting TOI for Cole as a winger?

They can play Zegras on the wing as well if needed.

Not sure Robertson makes the starting roster in Toronto though.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Guhle makes Team Canada.

So we have Guhle, Caufield & Mysak to watch for the WJC.

 

[Vachon23]

I'm really surprised Poulin didn't make the team

 

[montreal]

Guhle making it is good news, Guhle being a regular in the top 6 is great news. There's been a lot of negative opinions after the draft on him, I can't say I know either way as I've only seen a little of him but liked what i saw. Even Subban wasn't a regular in the top 6 at 18 and if you recall from those days some were calling him a bust (shocking I know) because he had 0 pts in 7 games.

Guhle is going to level a lot of people, and be a standout in this tournament. Youngblood is now my 3rd favorite prospect.

 

[Phil Parent]

Guhle is D1 for Team Canada at 18 years old? Do I see that right?

 

[SpeedyPotato]

Damn. That is all I have to say. And I've glanced over the USA Hockey thread complaining about in-house decisions that reek of favoritism.

The kid may be playing with a chip on his shoulder now, if he wasn't already.

Who are you guys talking about? Farrell? Was trying to find in the thread but I couldn't.

Nope

I wouldn't read too much into the practice lines. But I expect him to be Top-4. In the reds vs. whites scrimmages, he was the top pair on one team with Barron and Byram and Drysdale were the top pair on the other team.

So the way I looked at that is that they put the top two pairs on each scrimmage team. Kind of like how Weber is on one part of the training camp roster and Petry is on the other.

So I think Byram - Drysdale will be the top pair and Guhle - Barron will be the second pair.

Tourigny is a big fan of Guhle's.

Yeah. My post was moved over from the prospects voting thread.

Personally I think a lot of our own fans are sleeping on Farrell but I could be way off as well. Really wanted to see him in a WJC setting.

I'm a pretty strongly anti-Guhle, but he's fine at this level. I worry about his offensive potential and how his transition game will affect his ability to play in a top 4 in the NHL, but he's certainly capable of filling certain roles.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Watch and learn folks. This kid (Guhle) is the real deal.

 

[covfefe]

Watch and learn folks. This kid (Guhle) is the real deal.

yeah agreed, he is legit, upside is way higher than Schneider

Anyone news on this?

He is absolutely great in transition... Only question mark is his shot at this point...

 

[WeThreeKings]

No, his shot is fine. The question mark is his ability to pass the puck out of his own zone and whether he can create any shot assists in the offensive zone.

Guhle will be used more in a shutdown role than the Byram -Drysdale pairing, IMO but, he will see plenty of minutes in those missions.

More Cole...

[Pompeius Magnus]

There wasn't much tension about this, but unsurprisingly, CC made the team. Berard instead of Farrell is total nepotism and the wrong decision to make but what are you gonna do I guess, there's no law against the head coach picking his own players.
