Olympics: Team Canada 2022, Part III

[wetcoast]

I think that they know that. Crosby and Stamkos alluded to it and Marchand will be 37. I could see Crosby being taken as a token legend by that point but not Stamkos or Marchand.

This is how I see it as well but it won't affect their legacies, well maybe Marchand but he is tracking for the HHOF anyways.

Didn't like at all what I saw from Cossa. This guy was really in the top 3 eligible ?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Would Owen Power be allowed to go to the olympics?

LeBrun: Doug Armstrong has no regrets on time as Team Canada GM as NHL pulls out of Beijing Olympics

A few things from the team that wasn't. Armstrong says that they told Crosby a year ago that he was the captain, which isn't surprising. LeBrun also believes that Price did want to play provided he was at an acceptable level. Armstrong says that basically only three forward lines and two defence pairings were locked in.

I hope Evander Kane goes

and jake virtanen

Those two really embody the Olympic spirit.

Where's the Canada WJC thread? Don't like having Olympic threads on the WJC subdivision.

 

[peconcan]

We need a World Cup. Sid deserves to play best on best with Canada once more

 

[lanky]

Would Owen Power be allowed to go to the olympics?

Yeah, if his school is ok with it.
Johnson should go too.
Wright and Bedard might as well join them.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Yeah, if his school is ok with it.

If he goes, he has the potential to be part of the triple gold club before even having played a single nhl game.

Actually the Stanley Cup is one of the three legs of the triple gold club so you cannot win it before playing a NHL game

You mean the first goaltender selected in the most recent NHL entry draft, 15th overall?

Those two really embody the Olympic spirit.

Kane could make a stop at Macao for some fun and try his luck at the tables.

Standards are getting low. lol

I know they are 16 and 17 but I think I’d have Wright and Bedard higher rated than some on the list, like McBain Quinn and Krebs

 

[Lartsaman]

Mason McTavish has an nhl contract. How is he eligible?

 

[Gold Standard]

Mason McTavish has an nhl contract. How is he eligible?

He's not in the NHL. The first year of his NHL contract hasn't kicked in. He was returned to junior, therefore he's still under a CHL player agreement.

He's still a member of the NHLPA regardless of where he's playing

Owen Power is the first player to commit to the team
Sabres prospect Owen Power to represent Canada at Beijing Olympics

Looking at the long list so far it might sound like the team is, at least, seemingly better than what they put out in '18

I was surprised to read that in Friedman's 32 thoughts column. If I recall correctly, Makar turned down an offer to play in 2018 in order to stay with his NCAA team. Since Power declined t go directly to the NHL and talked about how he wanted to experience university life, it's... interesting that he's agreed to go to the Olympics after already having a disruption for the aborted WJC.

It's almost the time when teams were going to be made. I'm thinking that Kyrou was more likely than not to make the Canadian team.

 

[SOLR]

Don’t forget bedard , Wright , lafreniere

Yager, Benson, Fantilli… the 2023 crop is epic for Canada.

Good for Owen Power He has the opportunity to win an Olympic Gold while also having already won the World Hockey Championship Gold last spring
