Very cool. It obviously doesn't help from a draft evaluation standpoint, but it is nice to have meaningful hockey in August.

 

[SCD]

I wonder if Cossa gets a second chance.

No. There is no need for Raymond to play in it.

Yeah your right, it was probably like Seider last year

He should

 

[BeersHockey]

Would like to see Sweden rethink that Wallinder decision.

 

[golffuul]

He should

He has nothing to prove in the WJC and should be playing the World Men's Championships (if they weren't having the Olympics). Let someone else get a chance to showcase his talents. Raymond's peers are now NHL'ers.

Im more curious to see if he makes the team....Cameron didnt exactly seem like a big fan by dropping him to 3rd string.

Maybe Cameron will not be the coach, this time around. Which would be nice.

Agree and disagree, would you like to see the best on best u20 ? It's in August

I want to see the best non-nhl u20 players best on best.

A second chance would start by making the team.

I'd rather he not risk injury playing games where he has nothing to prove. He is an NHLer that is a top 6 guy. No need to play against his age group.

 

[Henkka]

Same players can represent?

OR are after January-born too old for this tournament? Guys who were legit for the December-January tournament?

Can't f***ing wait

Would like to see Sweden rethink that Wallinder decision.

This was my first though as soon as there was talk about re-doing it in the summer. He's already top-3 in Rögle d-men scoring with about 14 minutes of average ice time vs 19-21 for the other top-4 guys.

Wallinder will turn 20 before August, can he represent?

What are the rules for the new tournament?

Here's one quote: "Tardif said the rescheduled event will be made up of the same rosters countries had in December, even if players turn 20 before the start of the tournament."

But I think it's unrealistic to expect every player will be available. For example Edvinsson could very well be in Detroit.

 

[Henkka]

Seems to be same age group, so everyone eligible at last December, will be eligible.

Yeah, and it will be easy to replace him with Wallinder.
