WJC: 2016 — Canada Roster Talk (Part II)

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

And you still haven't answered what a dominant player is.

That's not an answerable question. It's like asking, "What's a nice day".

 

[86Habs]

Couture? McIrath?

Pretty sure its never happened for someone in their draft + 1 and draft + 2 years.

 

[Halfy]

Thought theyd get down to 8 dmen.

 

[LeafChief]

So are the forwards set now?

 

[nelsojc]

Chychrun had some bad giveaways in camp...not surprising. He'll be on the team next year

 

[sureloss]

Could Chychrun jump ship and go to the American camp?

Not saying that he will, but kind of interested to know if he could.

 

[tfantasy]

Little surprised that Watson got the axe. Dal Colle was obvious though. I mean, he looked slow and out of place in November when they played the SS.

 

[FLYguy3911]

That's not an answerable question. It's like asking, "What's a nice day".

Well he knows what players won't dominate so he must have the formula.

 

[Halfy]

1 forward still needs to be cut and 2 d.

 

[Icebreakers]

So if Virtanen gets loaned they have to cut 2 more forwards?

 

[EveryDay]

Don't undertand why Lauzon is still with the team......

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Very surprised by chychrun cut. I thought he would be the 7th d

I thought others would be cut before him

Lots of turnovers by other defensemen

Very surprised

 

[nelsojc]

So are the forwards set now?

Nope at least one more cut but likely two because there is a good chance Virtanen will be loaned tonight

 

[OttawaRoughRiderFan*]

Well he knows what players won't dominate so he must have the formula.

I'm just saying it is too generic/subjective a question.

Me to

 

[BondraTime]

Why are people saying they are done making cuts?

Ah, Mckenzie...

 

[tfantasy]

Chartier and Merkley haven't done anything

 

[Roughly6Owls]

Why are people saying they are done making cuts?

I'd like to know this too.

As far as I can tell the only reason is because they said they'd be cutting 4 to 5 guys.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Could Chychrun jump ship and go to the American camp?

Not saying that he will, but kind of interested to know if he could.

Yeah, I think so. He hasn't appeared at a IIHF tournament for Canada yet.

 

[Halfy]

I'd like to know this too.

As far as I can tell the only reason is because they said they'd be cutting 4 to 5 guys.

It was tweeted by the media.

 

[Icebreakers]

I'd like to know this too.

As far as I can tell the only reason is because they said they'd be cutting 4 to 5 guys.

They arent sure on the final roster yet, they want to test players out in pre tourney games.

 

[snizzbone*]

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

Is this the first time they've made cuts while at the tournament?

 

[nelsojc]

I think it will ultimately come down to two of chartier merkley and quenneville getting the final cut
