WJC: Canada 2018 Roster Talk

[Ainec]

probably Sam Steel

 

[Dominance]

Me and my friends do a WJC championship pool with Canadian players every year. Usually I have a pretty good idea on who to draft, but this year im lost. Especially with the forwards.

Who do you guys think are the forwards who will get most offensive opportunity and PP time? Thanks in advance!

Jump on any opportunity to take Thomas is my advice.

Kyrou and Steel are safe bets.

Thx

 

[Ainec]

no Czech big 3

game would be 3-1 Czech Republic if they were playing tbh

 

[John Agar]

not on the 1st PP unit

Today...

 

[Dominance]

21-9 shots for Canada. Don’t think Czechs have gotten meaningful opportunities lol. People generating the commentary that this group lacks skill or offensive ability should eat a sock.

 

[Ainec]

Today...

who's spot is he taking

 

[Dominance]

not on the 1st PP unit

He will be, is my prediction.

There are 4 pools currently 30+ picks deep or completed in the forum below. The order of those picks are decent guidelines. Canada specifically Kyrou and Steel but they will only last so long. Raddysh, and Thomas were usually next. Dube, McLeod and Steenbergen after that or mixed in with 3-4. After that it's a lot of guessing.

 

[Ainec]

He will be, is my prediction.

definitely possible

but he was asking for safe bets/given the most opportunity

 

[Ainec]

geez that's a 2-0

 

[Dominance]

Canada getting greedy and obercreative already oh well, makes for an exciting game.

I did post the Twitter "link" for a reason...

This is nowhere near a Czech Republic tournament roster...

And I assume the "boys" have been enjoying being in a another country pre-tournament...

The Czechs are notorious for only showing up when it matters and biting good teams in the ass...

Be careful...

 

[Dominance]

McLeod = the penultimate grinder. Granite hands so far, though, but generating tons of opportunities none the less.

 

[Ainec]

I've been predicting Czech Republic Gold Medal all week

and after 2 periods I'm now predicting Czech Republic to not lose a single game

 

[John Agar]

who's spot is he taking

I don't think he's taking anyone's spot but his own...

I think the coaches will audition 2nd unit guys tonight...

Thomas, Kyrou and Raddysh are in my opinion the 1st team PP....

I was thinking Steel Kyrou Steenbergen

 

[John Agar]

I was thinking Steel Kyrou Steenbergen

I am a big fan of the WHL...

Longtime Wheat Kings season tix holder and corporate sponsor (in years past) ....

Knowing this...Steel and Steenburgen would be 2nd's in my opinion...

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Cale Makar is just a beautiful hockey player.

 

[Dominance]

Bang. Katchouk, another point for Thomas.

Then another post 30 seconds later.
