Stephane Leroux and Norman Flynn from RDS seems to think that Lauzon is a lock since he don't play today.
They predictions of the one getting cuts are Merkley, Hawryluk, Juulsen and Hickey.
 
There was beef on the main board between Canucks and Leafs fans talking about Gauthier being an ECHL level prospect. It was 2 dumb nucks poster and then a few leafs players said crap about virtanen. Either way it's stupid. Back to WJCs our PP looks awful.

yes but that doesn't mean all of them do, if a Leafs fan doesn't like Virtanen there's no reason to assume it's because he's a Leafs fan, I hate it when any Leafs fan posts anything negative about just about any prospect then some fan of that's prospect's NHL team tell them oh you're a dumb Leafs fan, no wonder you're like that.

This is team Canada, leave that out of it.

This goes for other teams fans too because it happens to everyone, it just seems like it happens to Leafs fans the most. But maybe I see that the most because I'm a Leafs fan
 
I see Merkley and Quenneville being cut and McKeown + Lauzon on Defence

Quenneville might get cut, but it'd be odd to me. He's the perfect depth guy because he can fill in with any role, and is pretty solid defensively. Guys who can kill penalties, can play a reliable shift on a 3rd/4th line, and can play center or wing are better to keep imo.
 
Let's just all come together in a time like this. This is Canada, not Toronto or Vancouver. Let's just get a long for this! With that said there's nothing wrong with cheering extra hard for a prospect of your favorite team. I'm guilty of that with Virt

Rationale for cutting Juulsen is ... Dumb. Very dumb.

Good take.

He also gets better in physical, intense games. Seems to thrive when it gets tough.

Doesn't shy away from tight, physical play. Canada is a little shy on this in depth with this years team.

nothing wrong with that, everyone does that, but I as far as the rest of the team goes nobody has a bias with any other teams prospects based on their fandom, the only biases that exist are fans cheering for their own teams prospects. Leafs with Marner and Dermott, Ottawa with Chabot, Montreal with Juulsen, Vancouver with Virtanen, etc
