WJC Thread 2019

If he makes the team it would be quite the feat. The Russians barely ever keep 18 year olds on their team.

they had one last year but he should make it with the way he's playing in the KHL.

Very good chance Kotkaniemi stays with Habs and won't play at WJC.

Hey! Bergevin likes MY play without the puck! Wifey would concur.

You had that going for you for a moment. Not anymore.

Primeau was such a steal. We drafted him in the 7th round and now he's playing in the WJC.

Flintstones? Pfffft....insulting.

It’s not a good idea anyway. Imagine if he got hurt? Not to mention the fatigue factor

He made a typo and meant to write Domi.

Timothy Liljegren is injured and it is unclear if he will play. Philip Broberg has been called up to replace him if needed and he will be the youngest player (17) on the Swedish team according to Swedish news.

That means they want Brook in the line-up in the top 4D. Shows a lot of confidence in moving him to LD and trusting him. Lets see if this sticks. If it does, I love that Brook Bouchard pairing. Brook is too good to play 3rd pairing

It appears that Romanov's injury was not serious. As per report on the KHL site, Romanov participated in team Russia practice as part of a five man unit featuring Russia's top two forwards in Kravtsov and Denisenko which bodes well for his selection chances as well as his role on the team.

Nice. Brook and old man should be an incredible duo. Also, if he can be a LD in Montreal that would be so nice.

Would be one of the rare RHDs who play on the left side. I know Boqvist did it in juniors or international I dont remember. In the NHL it's extremely rare. I believe Julien isnt the type of coach who's comfortable with this.

Petry would be the perfect Weber's partner if he could play on left side. But I don't think he can like most if not all RHD.

Leason is an interesting case. Big (6'4) scoring RW that was not drafted yet.

I was just looking him up since I hadn't heard of him before. That's a pretty crazy jump in production this year. If he andSuzuki prove dynamic, maybe he'd be a great guy to go after.

His WHL coach is praising him a lot and he might be signed somewhere after the Championship, or available at next draft, especially if he makes the Canadian Team and do well. he's gonna turn 20 at the end of next April.

MB better get on it. No risk potentially incredible reward. Seems like he was just a late bloomer.
