WJC: 2017 Canada Roster Talk - Part 1

[PecnoTrunk]

Givani Smith I'm pretty sure.

When is canada announcing the roster? (camp roster)

 

[1Gold Standard]

When is canada announcing the roster? (camp roster)

should be this week sometime. December 1 is a good bet.

Camp opens on the 11th/12th.

Does anyone hear any rumors as to any surprise invites?

I am assuming they might go with a rough mean team, that hit on Crouse (sp??) by the American defenseman might have jiggled some thoughts at HC?? I think they will go Big and mean but with skill?

any thoughts?

 

[SNMU]

I don't think Senshyn should make this team. Much better options. I'd rather take a chance with Patrick (assuming he is healthy enough to go).

I love Givani Smith. If he makes it, he'll become Canada's darling by the end of the tournament.

I love that grit he brings to the game as well. Really hoping he makes this team. We need him against the U.S

I didnt watch the Russia series...
how did Smith do ? was he present in the play or was he used as a 3rd or 4th liner...

Also how about Keegan Kolesar, was he used as 3rd or 4th liner in the Russia series...?

I will assume if they are used at a 3rd or 4th lines during the Russia series, their chances of making the team are rather small

Thats how i usually know more or less who will be on the team....

Anyone who plays 3,4 line duties regularly in the russia series or summer series are pretty much written off...

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

 

[SNMU]

Really anxious to see the list. Thanks for the info

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Going to guess Canada goes with two goalies again if there is only 30 players going to camp.

 

[wings5]

It's stupid the list of players is so small given how wide open the competition for spots is this year. W'ere not favourites and there is alot of uncertainty so more players should be evaluated. I wish they went back to the old system of 40 + players.

 

[Halfy]

Canada, USA and Sweden the favourites? Probably USA or Sweden as THE favourite?

 

[1Gold Standard]

12:00 est tsn 1-3-5.

Based on the players they picked, what type of team are they trying to assemble...

Big 2 way team?
Speedy team?
Strong skating Defense transition team?
a pesty team?
Strong possession team?

 

[93LEAFS]

Why didn't Tyler Benson get a crack??

Because he wasn't clearly deserving of a shot. You can argue he deserved to be there of Senyshyn or Wagner, but it is not that clear cut.

I still think Cliff Pu was worthy of an invite, but not shocked they would rather have Mikey McLeod on the team.

 

[MackAttack26]

Was hoping Brendan Guhle or Cliff Pu would at least get an invite. Oh well.

Interesting that Speers and Patrick are invited. Hopefully that means they are decently healthy, but it seems to contradict what we've heard about Patrick. I'm a little surprised about no Kyrou, Mascherin or Benson. Also surprised that Dube is there, though McKenzie did predict that.

 

[JayKing]

That group seems extremely weak.

I really like our defensive core this year, even without chychrun. chabot, juulsen, bean, and fabbro will make an elite top 4.

No Kyrou or Mascherin?

no Smith, Benson, Harkins,Guhle,Fortier,Masherin, Pu,Booth

total surprises?
