Pool: 11th Annual Statsy's WJC Pool

[Khabby]

Looks like I gauch my last forward.

F - Nathan Gaucher - CAN

 

[Canada4Gold]

Peart of me is uneasy about taking all by defensemen so early, but I can't do Jack about that now

Jack Peart

 

[WeThreeKings]

I started this pool off with a Rohrer but lately feeling like it's a whisper

Someone's gonna have to Convinenz me that I'm not gonna finish last.

Vinzenz Rohrer, F, Austria

 

[FightingSioux]

Jacks in time. Also an extreme homer pick but I’m in hopes this selection is like my Shane Pinto pick a few years back. From the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux *cough* *cough* fighting hawks. I shall select Jackson Blake F USA

Fun tidbit:

Freshmen at UND with 20+ points before Christmas since 1999-00:

Zach Parise (2002-03) - 38 pts
Tyson Jost (2016-17) - 22 pts
Brock Boeser (2015-16) - 21 pts
T.J. Oshie (2005-06) - 21 pts
Jackson Blake (2022-23) - 20 pts

That's a solid list.

I am aiming for the Topi and Ronni far far away so that nobody can swoop in like a Pellikkan to take my guys.

Topi Ronni F FIN

There are no Leafs prospects this year for me to pick(Thanks for not taking the OHL leading scorer USA). I was going to try to pick Topi Niemela or Roni Hirvonen again but they're too old. Turn out I could have taken them both in 1 player. Dammit.

 

[Christien]

As a Wings fan, maybe you guys could have Red my mind on this pick

F - Red Savage

@Tomsburninghat

 

[Tomsburninghat]

Might be dean this pick as being a wildcard but zach's how we roll...

Zach Dean - F - CAN (Hoping being a Newfie playing in Atlantic Canada might spark the boy...)

And for the second pick

I hope my wife doesn't dvorsk me with this pick...

Dalibor Dvorsky - F - SLV (Going for the youngster!)

You just stole my next two picks for forward, and I think you did it Daliborately!

Don't feel bad, those 2 and Savage were my next 3.

You guys are just savage, stealing my picks

 

[Christien]

This could make me look Kokko, we’ll have to wait and see in a Nik of time…

G - Niklas Kokko

[FightingSioux]

Ughhh I’ll go Caedan Bankier F CAN

@WeThreeKings youre up !

 

[Statsy]

Ughhh I’ll go Caedan Bankier F CAN

@WeThreeKings youre up !

C'mon now, you can take that pick to the bank!

Also, what's with the name Caedan? Why is nobody named Gus any more?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Honzek if you love Statsy's annual WJC pool.

Samuel Honzek, F.

 

[Canada4Gold]

My team is looking really Stromg, this pick makes it even better

William Stromgren

 

[Khabby]

I couldnt Behren the thought of picking another forward after I Sean this guy available (And the fact I can only pick D from here on out)

D - Sean Behrens - USA

That. Was. My. Guy.

Well, the field of dmen is suddenly looking pretty Behrens.

I guess now I'll have to be Allan (all-in) on this guy. Nolan Allan.

 

[GrandLarseny]

No pun for my pick, I know y'all are thinking Brah? That's the whole schtick for this draft so I'll bring a Rose as my apology.

Jakub Brabenec F CZE
Bennet Rossmy F GER

 

[Statsy]

I can't help but notice that Montreal hasn't said a peep about Slafkovsky. With so many people asking about him being loaned, you would think they would just come out and say no of it was a no. It may be a yes. If he does get loaned, I sure hope he doesn't Slack-off-sky with his level of play.

Juraj Slafkovsky

 

[Khabby]

Elias, My pick again,

D - Elias Pettersson - SWE

 

[Statsy]

Elias, My pick again,

D - Elias Pettersson - SWE

I was thinking about taking this Vancouver draftee. I just checked out Elite Prospects and it turns out he's actually leading the Canucks in scoring at the moment! Amazing that they even released him for a junior tournament. What a find!

 

[Canada4Gold]

I might not win a medal this year but I at least will win an Oskar

Oskar Pettersson

I knew Khabby couldn't steal my player since he needed 2 D and I need 2 F's but damn did he try his best

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hopefully Aron does make a right. I'll take Aron Kiviharju, D, Finland

And since everyone has their goalie already, I'll hopefully hit a deep Trey on this shot.

Trey Augustine, G, USA

Aron doesn't give you Shane Wright I'm sorry
