Anthony Duclair, The Duke of Broadway, will be going to World Juniors for Team Canada #NYR

Unreal news, good to know at the very least one nhl player will be loaned!

 

[NYR Viper]

Yes, I think the feeling is he will be playing. Miller has pushed himself into the line-up as well as Fast and everyone is healthy again. My guess? They send him to the WJC's and then back to Juniors for the rest of the year

Called it

 

[keslerburrows]

It'll be between Duclair and Virtanen for that 1RW spot beside McDavid.

That really bolsters Canada on the RW! Duclair, Virtanen & Baptiste is pretty solid!

thats a no competition for me, that 1st line RW spot will be gift wrapped for Duclair


*unless they decide to spread them out for a more balanced attack which is possible if they want to be super deep scoring wise..

 

[Bad News Benning]

It'll be between Duclair and Virtanen for that 1RW spot beside McDavid.

Duclair is a LW isn't he? every site I've seen lists him as LW.

Duclair McJesus Virtanen will be faster than ****.

 

[Emerica]

Awesome. Hopefully Lazar goes too..

 

[Joannie9]

Duclair is miles ahead of Virtanen...

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

So pumped to have Duclair come and play.

 

[SH15]

Lazar was killing penalties for Ottawa over the weekend...that's not a good sign for his availability to the junior team.

Jonathan Drouin however...expected to be a healthy scratch tonight for TB. Can you imagine??

 

[Joannie9]

If Jon Cooper keeps scratching Drouin for no reason other than "it's his turn to be scratched," I hope TB sends him to the WJC.

How awesome would that be for Team Canada !?

Drouin-McDavid-Duclair

 

[canucks10]

Klimchuk - McDavid - Virtanen
Domi - Reinhart - Duclair
Dal Colle - Petan - Baptiste
Crouse - Fabbri - Point
Gauthier

Morrissey - Bowey
Nurse - Theodore
Morin - Hicketts
Sanheim

Fucale
Comrie

This would be who id take if I were choosing the team and no other NHLers were released.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Duclair! Sick news!

Now please Drouin.

 

[canucks10]

Duclair is miles ahead of Virtanen...

Which is why IMO Virtanen should slot in beside McDavid.

Let Duclair slot in line 2 and pretty much role two 1st lines

Klimchuk/Fabbri/Dal Colle - McDavid - Virtanen
Domi - Reinhart - Duclair

brings more balanced attack!

Eh I'm finishing my undergrad on Saturday, I'm sure I'll have many similar mornings for the next few weeks.

Your new years eve is looking quite similar to mine. Home for Xmas, first Moose game (and probably only) of the season.

 

[Joey Moss]

Dal Colle - McDavid - Baptiste
Virtanen - Reinhart - Duclair
Ritchie - Petan - Domi
Ellie - Gauthier - Fabbri
Dickinson

Nurse - Morrissey
Morin - Bowey
Sanheim - Bigras
Heatherington

Fucale
Comrie

Wow those forwards look great..

 

[Cassano]

Not sure why Duclair is on the 2nd line when he is likely Canada's best player.

 

[canucks10]

Dal Colle - McDavid - Baptiste

Now imagine one of Horvat, Lazar or Drouin added to that maybe even 2 or all 3! One can dream

 

[Joannie9]

Not sure why Duclair is on the 2nd line when he is likely Canada's best player.

Most people putting him in the 2nd line are Canucks fan putting Virtanen ahead of him

 

[canucks10]

Not sure why Duclair is on the 2nd line when he is likely Canada's best player.

All about balanced attack! 3 capable scoring lines is better than 1 super line

 

[Joannie9]

All about balanced attack! 3 capable scoring lines is better than 1 super line

Reinhart, Domi, Dal Colle and Petan are fully able to produce offence on their own.

 

[86Habs]

Now, if we can get Horvat or Lazar loaned out to anchor a two-way match-up line, we'd be all set.

 

[Subban signed e5]

Not sure why Duclair is on the 2nd line when he is likely Canada's best player.

Mcdavid is better imo but he is going to be on the top line for sure

 

[Bad News Benning]

NYR site lists Duclair as a LW...same with all the other sites. Why is everyone putting him on RW?? am I missing something here?

I think DuClair and Virtanen would be killer together. Probably two of the fastest skaters in the entire tournament.

 

[SH15]

I don't get people putting Baptiste on this team just because he's a rare right handed RW. I'm sorry but there are far better players to hold a spot on this team than him!
