[Caspian]

I think we have a fair number of banged up bodies (or at least worn down enough to pass on the WCs).

I could see Horvat going though. Maybe Lack for Team Sweden.

 

[Addison Rae]

hope Horvat goes for Canada

 

[jigsaw99]

Weber, Sbisa to Swiss (would they even want Sbisa?)

Kenins to Latvia

Sedins Sweden defending champs

 

[tc 23]

Kenins prolly gonna sit and rest (missed tonight cuz banged up) or go down to Utica

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Horvat going for Canada would be awesome, both for his development and as a fan. I'd love to see that.

Have a hard time seeing many others go, though. Baertschi and Kenins are Utica bound. A variety of our veterans are nursing injuries.

Horvat and Tanev would be amazing. I'm pretty indifferent for the rest.

 

[Powder]

Vrbata for Czech Republic. Any of Sedins, Edler, or Lack for Sweden. Horvat for Canada would be cool but I highly doubt it since they already have 13 forwards listed with the majority of them being centers. Tough luck.

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

I'd say Lack but he was overworked late in the season here.

 

[GPNuck]

what about Mcjesus is he going?

 

[dmacgreg37]

I'd guess with Crosby signing up for Canada, and Canada already having 14 F, I can't imagine Horvat is going to get a spot.

The team is definitely in need of D/G help thus far, and could see Hamhuis getting an invite. He did say this is as healthy as he's been ending a season.

 

[Nucker101]

Tanev deserves it.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Would be nice to see Hamhuis and Tanev on team Canada.

 

[Crinny]

Sedins not going due to injuries according to Swedish media.
These guys never says no to play in the national team so I assume they played Game 6 with
some kind of injuries.

 

[NoShowWilly]

problem for tanev is i believe team canada already has 5RHD

 

[NoShowWilly]

ah only 4,

Burns
Barrie
Ekblad
Savard

1 LHD

Muzzin

 

[Vandalay Industries]

Nick Bonino goes for USA

Didn't you see Daniel take massive hits from Ferland? Or maybe it was one of their other guys. Anyways, Daniel was run at big time a few times last game, and Daniel was stretching his leg after that.

 

[luongo321]

Crosby as 1C. Horvat as 2C. I bet Bo would put up more points (minus gold medal games).

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Yeah, I just saw Canada's roster. IMO, none of our players would fill a need for them - the forwards and defense look awesome.

They badly need a legitimate goaltender, though. Mike Smith and Martin Jones won't get it done.

 

[Intoewsables]

Hansen won't be playing for Denmark.

 

[van22]

^Neither will the Sedins for Sweden:

Jeff Paterson @patersonjeff · 2h 2 hours ago
#Canucks Sedins say no to Sweden at the worlds. "There will be no 'from us due to injury," Daniel Sedin told Aftonbladet.

 

[Free Edler]

Hopefully none of them. Rehab injuries and rest for training camp.

 

[VC]

Would be nice to see Hamhuis and Tanev on team Canada.

Hamhuis has gone before, he isn't banged up so I wouldn't be surprised if he went. No idea on Tanev's health but would like to see him in an even like that.

 

[Craz1bo1]

Hamhuis just confirmed that he's going to the Worlds
