2025 Team Canada World Junior Predictions

[OMG67]

Holy cow, Brampton is so screwed during this Tournament window. I don’t’ know what they are going to do. Rehkopf, Martone, Ivankovic, and Fibigr out. Plus the injuries to Leskovar and MacDonnell. They are so in tough for the next month.

Saginaw will have Misa(snub) and Chernyshov and l hope they send Parekh back. Just so we can see how we are developing. We are going to see some action by DD one way or another.
Wish Team Canada all the best and bring home some GOLD.

Brampton played well last night with their depleted roster.

If no cuts....
London will be without the services of:
Cowan
Halltunen
Barkey
Bonk
Dickinson
(Their top line, and two best defenders).

Next man up...

Dave Cameron is his coach in Ottawa. Only explanation I can think of. The fact that he made the team over someone like Beckett Sennecke is a travesty.

As I mentioned in the 67’s thread, Team Canada has a habit of selecting a top 6 and a bottom 6. If a player is deemed not as capable of playing a bottom 6 role, they have to make the team in the top 6 role. Clearly they didn’t’ feel Senneke was as capable of playing a bottom 6 role.

Pinelli is very capable of playing a bottom 6 role and he scores goals at a high rate which gives him a bit of an advantage when Team Canada is selecting its roster.

Don’t’ get me wrong, I am NOT suggesting what Team canada does is the way they should do it but that has been their trend for quite some time now. They don’t select all the best players using the points standings as a blueprint.
