There is nothing easily found on the interne about Patrick having mono. He's out with an upper body injury at the moment.
That was referring to Liljegren. As of yesterday, he's not expected back until late November, early December.

Nolan Patrick has been named to the WHL team for the Russia/Canada series if that means anything. Would they name him if they knew there was no chance he would play?

Just wondering, but are you sure they weren't talking about Liljegren? Just because it'd be pretty crazy if the top 2 prospects for 2017 draft are both out with mono.

if you had just scrolled back a few posts you would have found my original post on the status of Patrick.
Was listening to Hockey Central yesterday with 1 ear, but did I hear correctly, that Nolan Patrick is out with mono and probably won't be available for the tournament?
The question mark implies I wasn't sure if I heard it correctly or not. Was listening online while working.
it has since been answered. They were talking about the other player.
Its pretty funny how these boards turn into a game of "telephone" sometimes......if you only read the most recent posts, you cant have context so things get off base pretty quickly.
My take away from this is: Canada's two best players both have some near-fatal disease but Canada somehow drugged Patrick up to the point where he can play through it. Film at 11.

I have to admit, I am surprised by Chychrun's performance so far. I didn't think he'd make it out of the 1st round of cuts at Arizona camp.

After seeing Cormier live he has some issues to deal with before even being considered. I don't know what they did with him in New Jersey but its not working. The positives are he's quick. He's very good at moving around the crease either on his feet or knees. The problem is he lacks awareness of where he needs to play. Right now he's far too aggressive which leads to lots of goals against when playing a good team. Also he's about as smart as rock with the puck on his stick.

NJ cares more about Cormier at 23 than 18. Being a good goaltender in JR doesn't translate to being a good pro.

If New Jersey is encouraging him to be this aggressive he'll be destroyed in the NHL let alone AHL. Right now his aggressiveness works no where. Even Jonathan Quick had to dial it back because goalies can't move as fast as players can pass the puck. Get Cormier to dial back how far he challenges and we'd see a goalie worthy of contending for the WJC team. Right now though he's behind a wealth of other goalies.
IMO this is still a very optimistic roster. Konecny, Beauvillier and Chycrhun have looked fantastic for their respective teams. As it stands right now I could see a team Canada with none of these three on the roster.

I don't know if NJ is telling him to do that, they have a long term plan in developing him and him being on Team Canada is the least of their concerns.

Good for New Jersey. All I care about as a Canadian is getting the best goalies right now and Cormier isn't one of the best available goalies right now.

I could see a team Canada without Beaullivier and Chychurun. But Konecy will make this roster.
Strome only got 10 minutes on Friday night and is scratched tonight. Starting to think there is a decent chance he is made available for the WJC. Seems the spot they had marked for him has been taken by Dvorak. I would hope Crouse is sent down too, he's getting less than 10 minutes a game when he plays. As it stands right now, the only kids I would for sure write off are Konceny, and Marner, with Chychrun being highly unlikely. Beauvillier is playing well, but hasn't been getting above 4th line minutes yet.

Didn't say he wouldn't make the roster, but good luck getting Philly to release him given his level of play thus far.
Gigantor The Goalie

Why would Flyers release him? He's playing top 6 minutes in each game, 2nd PP minutes, and has been playing some fantastic hockey through all games so far. There's no reason to think that Flyers will release him for Team Canada.

New Jersey sent Speers down after he played three games for them. He wasn't invited to summer camp, but Hockey Canada should give him a look.

OHL rosters for the CIBC Canada/Russia series are to be announced tomorrow so I wonder if they'll be able to put him on the roster. If not I would hope he's the first on the list for reserve forwards.
