2024/25 WJC

[Tkachuk Norris]

It’s that time of year.

Canada should be heavy favourites this year but I don’t love the roster Dave Cameron took.

ASP looking elite for Sweden, pretty shocked he fell to 17th. I like Honzek but this guy should have been our pick.

Hurtig is our only guy isn't he?

Think Canada is going to have a tough time with this US team. Dave Cameron's PP was even worse than Savard's IIRC.

The US team isn’t that good compared to previous years but that top line with Augustine in net is definitely enough to cause problems

I like Basha but Cole Hutson would have been cool in the 2nd last year too. Though I guess you could argue that kind of player is a bit redundant with Parekh Bru Morin etc already in the system

We take ASP then we don’t take Parekh, and Parekh has far more star potential. Plus Parekh + Honzek >> ASP + Luchanko/Helenius. Calgary got a big body centre with speed and skill to go with the best offensive Dman prospect the leagues seen in a while.

All the doom and gloom over the roster is mostly just people upset we didn’t make an all-star team or pick everyone’s favorite prospects taken in the top 10. We outshot Sweden 42-22 and the Czech’s 39-23. Those are two great teams in this tournament and neither of them looked like they could handle Canada’s speed at all as the games progressed. People are up in arms that we have some matchup players (we still have the likes of Yager, Martone, Luchanko) in our bottom 6 instead of pure skill, but it’s our top 6 which will drive the bus and it’s electric.

idk, ASP/Helenius would be pretty cool. But I agree Parekh is the best of the bunch

 

[FLAMESFAN]

USA/German game was close there for a minute, but Murica took control back.
That is going to be a big game on NYE!

Don't think Hurtig played today

 

[crackdown44]

Free bird as a goal song is a power move I have to say

 

[Lunatik]

German kid named Boos.... I feel like he'd be a fin player to have so we can Boos him whenever he has the puck

Um Dickinson was still available.

Dickinson-ASP would have been perfect.

 

[Some Other Flame]

I'd like our prospect pool a lot more if it had ASP/Dickinson and Helenius in it, especially what the Flames looking like they're going to miss out on all the impact centers in this draft

 

[Lunatik]

Bonk is really getting engaged early. Maybe fired up playing for Canada in his hometown?

 

[crackdown44]

Wouldn’t mind having a shot at the Mckenna lottery next year tbh

Calgary’s forward pool looks a lot worse Honzek removed, and he’s also our only chance for a centre out of the whole crop.

Calgary needs offense, and I like our prospects a lot more for providing offense than any combo of those names.

 

[JPeeper]

Bonk (among others) making this team over Parekh is a joke, guy is total shit out there and is being gifted #1 PP time.

Silver lining is Parekh isn't anywhere near Dave Cameron and the rest of his muppet coaching crew.

 

[Mobiandi]

This is a very poor Canada team

 

[Lunatik]

When we trade for Cozens and then draft McKenna we're going to be the most popular team in the Yukon
