WJC: 2022 Team Canada Roster Talk

[GermanSpitfire]

No Stankhoven?

All I have to go off of is his 16 year old season so I don’t know how he’s progressed. It’s a weird year.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Pretty good team. I think this team is really good in goal and on defense. Forwards aren't as good as usual, but are still obviously very good.

Perfetti-Byfield-Perreault
Johnson-Wright-Jarvis
Guenther-Lapierre-Forester
Cuylle-Greig-Foudy
Bourque

Guhle-Drysdale
Power-Clarke
O'Rourke-Poirier
Lambos

Garand
Cossa
Lennox

Id put Wiesblatt Neighbors Goncalves and a couple of the 2021 guys over Cuylle pretty easily.

Goncalves is an ‘01, won’t be éligible.
As for Cuylle, I see his goal scoring ability paired with his physical play as something Team Canada would love as a bottom-6 player.

Connor Bedard should be there, I’d imagine we’ll see both Savoie’s.

Its going to be incredibly hard for Bedard to make the team as a 16 year old. Shane Wright didn't even make it this year despite being proven against better competition.

There’s rumblings that Bedard is better than Wight at 16.

I would agree with this statement. But better at 15, won’t turn 16 till July

I thought he was already 16. Don’t know the western boys but people have told me Bedard is potentially best in world level of prospect, whereas Wright is more franchise/Elite and some who’ve seen him think he might be better than most his age based on size. However his OHL season was exceptional, ones to watch forsure.

I’d compare Wright to a Tavares/Stamkos level prospect, where as Bédard has the potential to become a Crosby/McDavid/Ovechkin level talent.

This is what I’ve heard, however I’m told that Wright found another gear and it seems he maybe be more on Stamkos level and not Tavares and may end up on a franchise level.

 

[Mathieukferland]

Tourigny named head coach, as well as assignments for other tournaments which includes Beijing Olympics

 

[peconcan]

Bedard will get an invite to camp for sure, has a decent chance of making team too.

 

[SpoolCat]

With a bunch of guys in the AHL I wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of guys in the NHL who we didn't expect like Jarvis, Drysdale and Perfetti next year. With that in mind I wonder if we go young next year bringing all three of Wright, Bedard and Savoie. Tourigniny seemed to have an open mind in bringing Wright last year so maybe he'll give a chance to the 3 to actually make an impact.
Does anyone else find it annoying how the Finns always seem to get the most out of their young players while we never seem too. Even Mcdavid wasn't all that impressive in his 16 year old year

HC still has seniority mentality at these tournaments. i.e Rielly and MacKinnon in 2013

 

[De Montreal]

Dont think Drysdale will be there

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Mcdavid didnt even get a sniff when he was 16. Bedard wont be there.

As the season has progressed, it’s looking more and more likely he’ll be there. Exiting for Canadians.

 

[Eye of Ra]

With how dominant Bedard been in u18 WJC i think he should make it to u20 WJC.

 

[ORRFForever]

I’d compare Wright to a Tavares/Stamkos level prospect.

I'd put him a little higher than that. Somewhere between Stamkos and McDavid.

Will Byfield finally do something at a WJR's?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Will Byfield finally do something at a WJR's?

yes i think so

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Will Byfield finally do something at a WJR's?

At first I was thinking Byfield would for sure have a great tourny, but I guess that depends on if Bedard/Wright both get alot of C time, and how much play time he gets.

 

[wings5]

Byfield will be on the LA Kings , very slim chance he'll be on the WJC team

 

[MosTLucky]

It’s going to be interesting to see which players get released and which players make their NHL clubs. Both Perfetti and Byfeild have had pretty solid 18 year old AHL seasons, and a player like Drysdale has stood out in the NHL.
