WJC: 2024 Team Canada Roster Talk - Part 1

[ORRFForever]

Wright had no points in a 4-1 loss against Edmonton. He was not a minus. I watched the game and he was pretty well invisible - he's getting less than 10 minutes a game.

The younger is born in the U.S. so... not sure we have any claim.

Father is Canadian. Both brothers were duals who chose USA.

Mondial junior : Perreault compte évoluer pour les É.-U.

Le Québécois Jacob Perreault a fait savoir à notre collègue Stéphane Leroux que tout indique qu’il évoluera pour l’équipe américaine cet hiver au Championnat du monde junior.

It explains here but it was because he kept getting cut by the Canada youth teams

 

[TheDoldrums]

Anyone here making the trip? I'm bored and might impulsively and recklessly drag the family to Sweden to watch some hockey

 

[ORRFForever]

Fair enough but, from what I read, he does not have a CDN passport or citizenship - his brother was born in Canada while he was born in the U.S.. Anyway, it's moot...

Can I come, dad?

 

[yessir29292]

1G/1A in Ritchies return. Probably an outside shot of him making the team but he’s got a chance

+1, 4shots, 9/20 on draws

 

[SOLR]

Here’s my crack at it.

Benson | Wright | Firkus
Rehkopf | Savoie | Geekie
Celebrini | Minten | Dumais
Cowen | Beck | Barlow
Cristall, Danielson

Mateychuk | Luneau
Pickering | Moldendyk
Furlong | Bonk
Nelson, Lamoureaux

Dyck
Rousseau
Bjarnsson

Celebrini would be first-line center; I don't care what you all think. He's the best Canadian player not in the NHL and on both sides of the puck.

Benson - Celebrini - Wright
Rehkopf - Savoie - Firkus
Cristall - Minten - Barlow
Danielson - Beck - Dumais
Yager, Geekie

Benson - Celebrini - Yager

No, it was the opposite, the reason he didn’t make the US team for December 2021 is because he didn’t have a US passport

My bad. Thanks!

Why you would put Wright to 1st line?
also Dumais 4th line? switch those two buddy

Dumais is the best winger of your team

 

[ORRFForever]

Watching the highlights of the NYR/Columbus game. Fantilli looked good. I guess any dream of him playing over Christmas is all but gone.

 

[tunnelvision]

How would you build PP and PK units from these rosters?

Well I'll do it for fun since no one else was interested...

Surprised no mention of Ty Nelson as an option on D

I did! Hockey Canada favourite and has a decent start to the year, defends well and can play PP2

 

[joeyrikley]

How would you build PP and PK units from these rosters?

1st PP: Luneau: QB, Wright: Shooter, Geekie: Net Front

----------Luneau
------------------ Savoie
Wright----Benson
------------Geekie

2nd PP: Mateychuk: QB, Yager and Celebrini: Shooters, Danielson: Net Front

----------Mateychuk
-----------Dumais
Yager------------------Celebrini
----------Danielson

1st PK:

Beck - Minten
Pickering - Lamoureux

2nd PK:

Wright - Cowan
Donovan/Luneau - Bonk

3rd PK:

Goyette - Benson
Molendyk/Dickinson - Luneau/Mateychuk

 

[joeyrikley]

Anyone starting to consider taking Danielson off their projections? Very underwhelming point production thus far. Unlike Owen Beck who had a rocky start and has been hot since, it seems Danielson is struggling. Trying to find a reason to leave him on, but don't know how i can pick him over a guy like Heidt for example

I don't know all the players games well enough to do it, don't watch a ton of CHL to my embarrassment.

Dumais is the best winger of your team

Wright was the first line C two years ago when it was cancelled and last year. He’s not going to the 4th line.

And all that HAIR!!!!

Cowan has looked good. Should get a solid look

As I’ve been saying.

 

[joeyrikley]

Wishful thinking but Fantilli is only playing 15 minutes per night, Columbus is last in the Metro. Is it unrealistic that they maybe wanna let him dominate if they’re completely out of the race by Christmas?
