WJC: 2020 Canada Roster Talk

[TheGoldenJet]

Lol yeah? I am sure you would make a great coach, base nothing on actually watching the players and everything on the score sheet.


McMichael is not better than Byfield, pretty obvious you dont watch any of the games and just look at the score sheet.

Lame comeback.

Byfield is younger and projects as the better NHL prospect.

If I had to choose one player for an elimination game on big ice today, I’d go with McMichael.

Post more awful lines please.

Admit it you dont watch any of the games. Or simply cant evaluate. One of the two.

Can you give us an alternate set of lines?

I’m dying to know if it’ll be worse than your first one.

Harley looked real broken up about being cut, feel bad for that guy.

Those post-cut interviews are brutal. We need to end those ASAFP!

Yeah, I agree, they don't need to be put through that at all.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

They do interviews after the cuts? Wtf?

- Hey kid, how does it feel to have one of your dreams crushed and to not be good enough to make the team?

- Feels great Pierre...

I mean they used to do the cuts first thing in the morning and interview the guys like half asleep and literally minutes after getting crushing news....atleast now they give them some time to gather themselves lol baby steps I guess.

Either way it just seems dumb. They don’t typically do them when players get cut from the NHL (as far as I know)

It;s a huge tournament here, TSN is right on them.

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

Hopefully Dach and Dobson get released. I'd like to see:

Alexis Lafreniere – Kirby Dach – Raphael Lavoie
Quinton Byfield – Joe Veleno - Dylan Cozens
Connor McMichael – Barett Hayton – Akil Thomas
Nolan Foote –Benoit-Olivier Groulx - Ty Dellandrea
Liam Foudy

Ty Smith – Noah Dobson
Jared McIsaac – Kevin Bahl
Bowen Byram – Jacob Bernard-Docker
Jamie Drysdale

Nico Daws
Olivier Rodrigue
Joel Hofer

Drop Lavoie to the 4th and move the rest of the wingers up

 

[Gold Standard]

We should be grateful that HC/TSN haven't attempted to further monetize this whole selection camp process. These Team Canada WJC cuts brought to you (insert Corporate Sponsor)

whoa whoa whoa that lineup has Hayton on the third line....

 

[Tube Skates]

One thing about Lavoie if you get him opportunities the score sheet tips in your favour. If people here on this board think he’s the weak link on this team. Well that’s just a good problem to have.

 

[topshelf15]

Hoping for a great preformance from JBD,we really need this kid to help our lean right side in a few seasons

 

[57special]

What does Lavoie bring to the table on a consistent basis, again? I don't understand choosing him over Newhook, or Krebs, though I'll admit that I haven't seen the latter play since he came back from injury.

I've seen Lavoie make some brilliant plays, but then he'll disappear for long stretches.

He showed up in the playoffs last year, though I remember a lot of points were on empty netters

Probably the best shot on the team.

That line up is so stacked down the middle but I think you would actually just see the Dach Veleno AL line back together andHayton bumped up a line. Doesnt make sense to have those 3 all sharing ice time when you could stack a line that has already played really well together.

Hard to see another team competing with that roster though, that is stacked. Some teams have enough talent to get lucky in a one game knockout but 9/10 times that line up probably wins the tourney

 

[MackAttack26]

Dach NOT being released to Canada per Bob McKenzie.

Sad.

 

[wishywashy19]

I

Probably the best shot on the team.

He does have that
It didn’t work out for him in the shootout but that is one area he should be counted on
I do agree with previous writer that if he is the weakest link we should be in good shape overall

He can really score and is a streaky player. If he is hot ride him if not someone takes his place.

 

[kyle44]

McKenzie confirms that if Dudas is healthy in time, then it will be one of the other forwards that are cut.

 

[JackSlater]

The Dach decision is alright. He is at least playing every game, though his minutes are low. It would have been much worse for Arizona to keep Hayton but sit him almost every game. Dobson may be in the same situation.

The Dudas situation is annoying but expected.
