WC: Team Canada 2025

[Nucks2001]

If Barzal is healthy, I’m sure we’ll see him. He’s a player that has a lot to prove if he wants a shot at the Olympics.

 

[Playmaker82]

Barzal is out with a kneeinjury. Only played 30 games this season, last one Feb 2.

He will not be there.

Crosby not ruling out being there.

Crosby Ponders Worlds for Team Canada; Too Much Hockey?

CRANBERRY — Sidney Crosby will be 38 years old when the Penguins convene for training camp in September. He has appeared in 78 of their first 80 games this season, and is averaging 20 minutes, 23 seconds of ice time, the most of any Penguins forward. And, oh yeah, when most of the league was […]

Crosby has obviously earned the right to do whatever he wants but it would be a treat to see him at this tournament again.

 

[ORRFForever]

I thought Sid might go.

 

[1Gold Standard]

Sid may go to do some mentoring for Bedard and Celebrini...and then Nate decides after the Avs lose the opening rd. (a real possibility) to join Sid in doing a little mentoring of his own,
Now that's a party. Prague Powerhouse incoming.

That would be the ideal. I'd rather Crosby just work on maintenance, even if this tournament is not so taxing.... but I would also like Bedard and Celebrini over with Crosby. Great for him if he goes, no slight against him if he turns it down.

I’m not getting my hopes up again for him this year. That didn’t sound too committed, and you can’t blame him for that.

Hope so.

The optimistic version:

Geekie - Crosby - Bedard
Holloway - Monahan - Konecny
K. Johnson - Celebrini - Toffoli
McCann - Fantilli - Wright
McBain

Sanheim - Montour
Weegar - Dobson
Byram - Power
Zellweger

Binnington, Talbot

McCann - Fantilli - Wright
McBain

Drysdale - Montour
Weegar - Dobson
Byram - Power
Zellweger

Binnington, Talbot

That is a terrific team but I am not sure Holloway will be there - I doubt St Louis loses in the first round. If they do, there are more terrific players available.

And who, for example? Kyrou and Thomas are disqualified.

 

[Playmaker82]

Holloway is injured. Bolduc, Schenn and Neighbours is possible.

Columbus have some in addition to Johnson and Fantilli.

Jenner, Monahan, Sillinger, Olivier f.ex. Then you have Guenther, Horvat, Lafreniere, DeBrusk ++

 

[lakai17]

I'd put Fantilli and Neighbors on the team definitely

You missed Sanheim.

 

[1Gold Standard]

You doubt? I'd give SLB a +- 2% of upsetting the Jets and about a +-10% chance of upsetting the Knights.

If you are so confident that they are not losing in the opening rd. call your bookie.

 

[MatBarzal]

You missed Sanheim.

You're right. I've made adjustments.

 

[Great99]

Canada will have a very good team because of Olympics

 

[ORRFForever]

And who, for example? Kyrou and Thomas are disqualified.

Oh yeah.... I forgot.

I already have.

I'm looking forward to seeing what this team looks like more than I have in years. Hoping for a strong one.

 

[therealdeal]

Is this just a forever thing here? Like, these guys are black listed for life?

I don't think there has been an update other than that Makar was cleared a year ago. I figure they want to wait for the trial to end and then quietly move on. Now unless something comes out about Thomas doing something unpalatable in the room or the group chat or something, I'd expect to see him cleared very soon. Thomas and obviously Makar are the only Olympic hopefuls from that team. Kyrou is a good player for the world championship level.

He hasn't been on the losing side in any international tournament he's participated in.

I wouldn't get too excited.
