[Eye of Ra]

I love Dano.

 

[jcbio11]

I guess Slaf doesn't make it because of his injury.

For purely selfish entertainment reasons, I'd like to see as many NHL prospects in this one. Give me some Kelemen and Nemec (should be a lock),

Slaf should be okay to play mid april which is month before WC

Slaf will be healthy be that time. I’m looking also at Sykora again, I really liked him last WC and it would be fun to see his progression on the international stage

 

[jcbio11]

I love Dano.

Never forget that Dano is an Olympics medalist.

 

[Lartsaman]

Rest NHL/AHL Play Off, SLAFKOVSKY injury or after injury, no way that Montreal will let him play.

yes, i know KHL goalies are not a posibility but they have nice numbers.

 

[jcbio11]

Don't know. I personally hope they don't.

Plus to be honest other than the goalies they most likely wouldn't have made the line up anyway. And we're kind of stacked at the goalie position, we got guys who can play in other leagues.

stacked? I doubt that. Those goalies have little to none international experience. I am very worried about our goaltending if we can't use KHL goalies.

I hope the Canadiens let Slaf play. Another tournament at this level should help his development. If they don't let him play, he will be without competitive hockey for 9 months.

Would love to see Ruzicka and Chromiak at the tournament.

Agree. KHL forwards and defenseman are easily replaceable. But goalies, that's a different story. Unfortunately, nobody is on Huskas/Rybars level. We have to find some "no namer" like Laco in 2012. Somebody from SVK/CZ extraliga.

Branislav Konrad playing in the czech league has good stats this season. Not on Huskas/Rybars level though.

Yes. And Samuel Hlavaj as his backup. Then we just need one more.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

SLAFKOVSKY injury or after injury, no way that Montreal will let him play.

Slaf will be healthy by then and with him missing half the season i think management will let him go if hes fully recovered from it the kid needs to play

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I think they will decide to not send Slaf to the WC for 2 reasons:

1) After his weight balooned to nearly 240 pounds entering this season, not to mention the clear balance issues he displayed during various points, they will view this as an important off-season in the gym for him coming off the injury. The WC is almost a 1 month commitment and there is risk for another injury if he plays in it, especially since he would be entering the WC as a rusty player who will be coming in with nearly 4 months of inactivity and would be playing against a bunch of players who will be in a groove.

2) Kent Hughes last month said things like “we need to help him understand how he can be most successful in North America” and talked about step-by-step process to alter his muscle memory after playing on European sized ice rinks his whole life. I think they will determine that having him play for 3 weeks on European sized ice rinks will potentially be viewed as detrimental to that whole adaption to North American sized rinks process.

I m absolutly sure slaf will no go. Montreal will not let him go.

 

[Eye of Ra]

No chance for Maros Jedlicka? Only 20 and almost PPG in slovakian league...

 

[Czechboy]

I actually thought Slaf would be a lock... lots of 19 year olds in their D plus 1 have played here...

Rantana, Kakko, Laine and JP come to mind. Power. I'm hoping Bedard does it before getting drafted too.

Great opportunity to develop and then hit the gym in summer.

There is a better chance that he will be in the first line than that he won't go to the World Championship. Although, many Slovaks would rather see Martin Chromiak in the 1st line.

It's not about the age. If he doesn't go it's because of the circumstances I detailed above.

 

[jcbio11]

Branislav Konrad, Jaroslav Janus and Samuel Hlavaj.

How's that for our goaltending? Thoughts?

I am not a big fan of Konrad but we don’t have many better options. I’ve liked Matej Tomek this year and would take him. Personally I would take Konrad, Hlavaj and Tomek. And then see who heats up between Konrad and Tomek.

Question stays, if they will ignore KHL goalies. Rybar has potential. Huska ? Not very impressive in national team.

If yes, and the guys form KHL will stay at home, i think, we should move forward. Konrad isnt in such top form as it was.
There are not many options:

Tomek as Nr. 1
Hlavaj
Latkoczy

It all about the process, they started few years ago.

This is exactly the trio I'm expecting at the World Championship. The alternative for Hlavaj could be Rabcan, but I see more potential in Hlavaj.
