WC: Team Canada Roster Thread 2021

I like Perfetti and Power coming along as they may be key WJC pieces next year, particularly if NHL teams are reasonable. This is also looking like the weakest Canadian team since the 1960s when there were no NHLers. I wouldn't expect Power or Perfetti to be huge contributors at this level yet but hopefully they do get some valuable experience.

I love this tournament. Lots of youth here. Remember Finland winning gold with NO NHL players?

Has to be the weakest Canada in a very long time. Still a good team. Lots of young players with good potential. Take a look at other nations rosters, its not exactly dream teams they have either.

Due to Covid, 28 players is allowed, so 3 more players can be added. Batherson and Corban Knight are rumored to take 2 of those spots.​

yes and Sweden won gold 2006 with only 5 NHLers.

Where did you find this in the IIHF site?

 

[Gold Standard]

I'm actually looking forward to it. a few young, promising players to follow. I suspect they should play a 1/4 final game, and after that...who knows? A team with a decent coach and is motivated could find a little magic. but no big shakes if they don't.

Nice find.

Interesting team with several recent WJC players and a few should have been WJC players in guys like Brown, Beaudin, Ferraro, and Vilardi. Gallant should be good with this group. It will be really interesting to see which guys get leaned on. Interesting that Hockey Canada brought Dube's brother along as team staff.

But you HAVE NHL players thou, almost everyone of your players are NHL:ers, young but, NHL:rs.
and plenty of slightly older ones as well, like's of Kuemper (31), Henrique (31), Pirri (30)

The point is that you don't need high profile NHL players to have a good team.

Any word on pre-tournament games? Last year Canada was supposed to stop off in the UK.

 

[peconcan]

Hope the last 3 players they add are either legit NHLers or 3 more young guys

 

[Jumptheshark]

A lot of people said no

They'll probably wait like they always do for round 1 PO exits. Usually they pick up a decent final piece and maybe even a small difference maker, but it is a COVID year...

Be nice if McDavid is gone in 4!

Normally I would agree, but I’m sure Covid messes that up with travel and quarantining and all that. Might be all we get.

 

[Pandaman11]

I have no idea if fans will be allowed, but as a Swiss, I'm glad I didn't pay $100+ to see this off-brand package at the 2020 worlds (assuming they would've happened, of course)

PS is Justin Danforth the forward version of Chris Lee?

I didn't quite realize how bad Canada's group is. A bit disappointing but the games will probably be more competitive than they would have been if this was the team from 2015 or something.

Goalkeepers: Darcy Kuemper (Arizona, NHL), Adin Hill (Arizona, NHL), Michael DiPietro (Utica, AHL).

Defenders: Braden Schneider (Hartford, AHL), Sean Walker (Los Angeles, NHL), Mario Ferraro (San Jose, NHL), Nicolas Beaudin (Chicago, NHL), Owen Power (Michigan, NCAA), Colin Miller (Buffalo, NHL) ), Troy Stecher (Detroit, NHL), Kevin Bahl (Binghamton, AHL).

Forwards: Justin Danforth (Podolsk, KHL), Brandon Hagel (Chicago, NHL), Connor Brown (Ottawa, NHL), Maxime Comtois (Anaheim, NHL), Michael Bunting (Arizona, NHL), Andrew Mangiapane (Calgary, NHL), Cole Perfetti (Manitoba, AHL), Gabe Vilardi (Los Angeles, NHL), Adam Henrique (Anaheim, NHL), Nick Paul (Ottawa, NHL), Liam Foudy (Columbus, NHL), Dillon Dubé (Calgary, NHL), Jaret Anderson-Dolan (Los Angeles, NHL), Brandon Pirri (Rockford, AHL).

As a Czech I'm ecstatic that we have 6 guys from the NHL.. seems high to me.

This team has about 18 or so NHL players including 2 goalies. 2 of the non NHL players are Owen Powers who will go first overall and Cole Perfetti who will be a very good NHLer.

No other country will have anywhere near this close to NHL talent. I actually think their salary would be much higher than the second highest paid team in this tourney too!

Medal favorite for sure!
