About to head on a flight. Can someone select me the best goalie left?
Goaltenders at that point isnt evident, you have Ian Blomquist from Sweden, likely their backup, Im not sure who will be the starter from Lavtia, Switzerland, Germany, Austria.

Ian Blomquist SWE
Alesio Beglieri SWISS
Matthew Croce SWISS
Karlis Meszargs LAT
Linards Lipsics LAT
Rihards Babulis GER
Simon Wolf GER
Nikita Quapp GER
Benedikt Oschgan AUS
Thomas Pfarrmaier AUS
Michael Sicher AUS

Personally I would recommand you Ian Blomquist but thats me.

We can ask other participants who they would pick as well.

Probably Hugo Havelid, Sweden.
Are you sure? I dont see him on their roster..


It would be Marcus Brannman or Ian Blomquist according to the site.

Yeah didn't check official site just the HFboards WJC Sweden thread. Yours is likely right. Lol

Probably take the Swedish goalie anyway.

I'll take undrafted Joel Henry, Switzerland.

@bopeep has last pick of draft.

Drumroll, please.
Hah! With the last pick of the Habs 1st Official WJC pool - my scouting team and I are proud to select a mobile defenseman from Finland. We are not quite sure at this point whether he will continue to play a prominent role in the top 4, or if indeed he becomes Mr. Irrelevant... Ville Ruotsalainen

Thank you everyone, this has been a great primer getting ready for my favorite tournament in the world and the best time of year. Merry Christmas and thanks to Goldenhands for doing a fine job hosting.

Sorry guys, a bit last minute, but you are allowed to pick a replacement player in case one of your guys is ruled out of the tournament, no order, first to pick get his replacement player. PLZ do it before 1st puck drop tomorrow 11 A.M. Thanks.

Note that you cant take Slafkovsky since it would be unfair if ever he joined at the last minute, only players who took part in the pre tournament games.

Adam Sykora didn't have something with the justice just before the tournament? 2 players of the same country have some problems : Adam Sykora and Ondrej Molnar from Slovakia. Frow what I read Sykora is not investigated and free to play!

Edit :

Sykora played 2 exhibition games I think so he should be fine.

At @Goldenhands very nice initiative from your part this pool. You will make the tournament very interesting for all of you and nice structure; I like checking the roster of each one. If i have to bet for the winner I said :

1st - @David Suzuki because of his forwards groups!
2nd - @WeThreeKings because of who he is, knowing a lot in prospect world!
3rd - @Goldenhands because you deserve at least that place with your implication ;)

Nothing against the others just the way I see it at the first look!

Good luck to everyone and I will not interfer anymore lol

Thank you, always nice to have the opinion of an outsider, I think the goalies could be the difference at the end, we all wish our guys to get the starter job, it was a crap shot this year IMO.
