I understand this tournament is typically for the older players, but I can't understand why Greentree and a couple of the other top draft picks didn't even make the preliminary roster for Canada

Agreed, especially when multiple players the same age or younger (Luchanko, Beaudoin, McKenna, Martone) are all on the roster up front.

I'm sure he'll get his chance next year, or maybe even one of the first call-ups if someone has to bow out for emergency reasons, but we'll see. Definitely looks like there's more of a gritty identity they're going for, as the leading OHL scorer, Misa, is also off the roster.

Happy to see Hammer get the call even if it's just to the camp. Was curious if he'd fall through the cracks not being a high draft pick or playing for a major program.

I wonder who has the inside track for goalie #1 on Team Canada and Team USA. How cool would it be to have George & Hammer as the starting goalies for each.

A quick glance at the rosters...

For team USA the spot is likely Trey Augustine's to lose and Sam Hillebrandt has the inside track to the backup spot. Both are returning from last year's team.

As for Canada, George has a better shot at the #1 as he was the guy for Canada at the under 18s last year. But there are 2 other 19 year olds invited in Scott Ratzlaff and Carson Bjarnson so hard to say what Canada will do. Give the spot to George or one of the older guys.

Edit: forgot Ratzlaff was on Canada's WJC team last year, so he's likely the guy to beat.

Hillebrandt is nothing special, Slukynsky should be the backup with the potential to compete with Augustine if he looks like he has at Western Michigan. Slukynsky is one of the most underrated prospects in the whole league right now.

In The Pipeline - December 2024 | Los Angeles Kings

Welcome to a new series here on LAKings.com, where we’ll be doing a monthly overview of LA’s top prospects. While the format will be somewhat fluid to start, the general idea is to share news and nuggets surrounding the Kings pipeline of future NHL hopefuls. Right off the bat, let’s

Wonder if George for team Canada and Slukynsky from team USA will be the starting Goaltenders tonight in Ottawa? Would be nice to see them go "head to head"!!!

 

[funky]

Despite the loss George played well. His teamates however did not. Perimeter shooting and bad penalties all night for Canada. Very undisciplined and it cost them.

 

[King'sPawn]

Greentree with a Gordie Howe hat trick. He had 3 assists total. His fight was against Kings prospect Matthew Mania.

Matthew Mania also had an assist.

Windsor won 6-4.

Well that's gonna be fun at the next Rookie camp. Lol.

How does a WJ management leave guys like Greentree Misa and Sennecke off the team. Those 3 on the same line would have been the best line at the tournament. Greentree and Misa are 1 and 2 respectively in the OHL. Sorry Hockey Canada ya pooched that one good. Oh they are better when they are 18 19 that’s BS. Feel for Greentree should have without a doubt have been there. Sorry for the my outburst. You have a good one there.

THANK YOU! For your much needed outburst!

 

[King'sPawn]

Jack Hughes ison a bit of a tear. He has 8 points in his last 6 games.

Hi guys! Look what we have to look forward to in 2 or 3 seasons:

Jared Woolley (OHL) versus two heavyweights recently, unstaged, Johnny Utah might like! looks like he's a heavyweight =+)


1st fight commentators said "He dusted him off" and "I didn't know Woolley had it in him" and lot's of smiles abound =)





2nd fight he took one to the mouth, but it didn't stop him

 

[Schrute farms]

Woolley is also a +27 on the year. Which is 3rd best on the team overall and #1 among their D

 

[King'sPawn]

Another 3 points for Liam Greentree, who posted 2 goals and an assist.

He currently leads the league with 75 points (32 G, 43 A) in 41 games.

Is see the Kings have found their latest late round(6th) defensive gem!!

Beautiful Jared Woolley goal:

Beautiful Jared Woolley goal:

Wow, great hands.
London has such a good program and he has Sam Dickinson and Oliver Bonk to learn from...both top D prospects....and of course, the London coaching. Woolley doesn't turn 19 until late Feb.

I think Yannetti's last few drafts are looking so good....still not getting the Hughes pick, but see he's stepped up the last few weeks. Seems he knows a contract is on the line.

I was at the last Sunday at TSC before the juniors were sent back and keyed mostly on Greentree, Woolley and Angus Booth that last scrimmage. They all looked great. Booth has poise and good hockey sense. Being 6'1" 200 (I think) and kind of a tweener - defense or offense prowess? He may have more of a challenge beating out these 6'5" LHD prospects: Dvorak, Woolley. He may be more of a Mikey Anderson.

Kings are looking a little better on LHD for pipeline; Dvorak, Woolley, Booth, Kirsanov, but a little light on RHD: Salin, Mania, Sparkes. Maybe Salin signs after his Liiga yr. He's putting up big numbers.
I am hoping for a RHD in round 1 (unless a can't miss C is there) Hensler, Mrtka, Trethewey, Fiddler. Aitcheson is LHD and would be fine, if he's better than any RHD when they pick....but I'd rather see a C or W that can score, than a LHD. And yeah, you don't draft 18 yo's for position. Most are 2-4 yrs away. But RHD is weak.

Will be interesting to see who signs, come March - April: Conmy? Wright, Hughes, Connors, Salin, Kirsanov...super longshot: Slukynsky.

I just like saying "oliver bonk" out loud, sounds like a cartoon

oliver is such a smooth three syllable name, flows like water

then BONK
