D could be real thin of those high end guys get through to the next round. Up front will be fine - lots of high end talent and some nice skill in the bottom 6 as well - Would like to see McKenna here and not sure why nobody has Squires on this list. He was the first Q guy I had down. Stock is only rising on him
Celebrini? Fantilli was released to play U18s so I don’t see why he wouldn’t be

Danielson, Ziemmer and Mann are ineligible. Too old.
 
Now available from the Q :

RW Cam Squires
RW Maxim Massé (06)
C Félix Lacerte (06)
LW Cole Burbidge

D Jordan Tourigny
D Marcus Kearsey (06)
D Nicolas Bilodeau
D Tomas Lavoie (06)

G Gabriel D'Aigle (06)
 
Is it just a straight birthdate eligibility ? Are late 04's not available this year even in the draft season ?
Is Celebrini not sticking with the Steel for playoff run ?

Peddle will start the 2nd round with Drummondville on Friday. Even if it’s a short series it would end on the 19th and the tournament starts on the 20th. It’s unlikely he’ll be there.

Mann is too old.

Jayden Perron as well if we're including Celebrini.

A little thin down the middle. I suspect they leave a spot open for Heidt or Yager should they get knocked out of the second round early.

Is there any chance of Windsor's Joey Costanzo getting a look ahead of the 2006 born goalie you mention?
 
With everything playing out the way that it did, here's an updated look. I would expect the roster looks something similar to this...

Forwards
Colby Barlow - Cal Ritchie - Matthew Wood
Andrew Cristall - Luke Misa - Nick Lardis
Tanner Howe - Berkly Catton (06) - Oliver Tulk
Malcolm Spence (06) - Cole Burbidge - Ethan Miedema

Plus one of...
Justin Poirier (06)
Felix Lacerte (06)
Matthew Soto
Beckett Sennecke (06)
Porter Martone (06)
Ty Halaburda
Ethan Hay
Alex Pharand
Gavin Hodnett (06)
Ryder Ritchie (06)
Cayden Lindstrom (06)

Defense
Cam Allen - Lukas Dragicevic
Caden Price - Jordan Tourigny
Carter Yakemchuk - Andrew Gibson
Tristan Bertucci

HM's (but also very likely they swap in)
Kaden Hammell
Mazden Leslie
Marcus Kearsey (06)
Thomas Lavoie (06)
Quinton Burns
Saige Weinstein

Goaltender
Carson Bjarnason
Gabriel D’Aigle

Plus one of:
Dawson Cowan
Joey Rocha
Mason Vaccari

Notes:

-Macklin Celebrini & Jayden Perron are the real wild cards here. Does Chicago release them for the tournament as they did with Fantilli last year?

- At forward, I could see them taking less of those bubble 05's and more of the 06's, forming an all '06 fourth line.

- Defense is the strength of this team. If Moncton loses tonight, Etienne Morin will be available too and he'd be in that group for sure.

- I would imagine that they refrain from naming a 13th forward to start to leave a spot open in case someone gets swept in the second round of the CHL playoffs.

- The other goaltender spot is also a huge wildcard. It will be Bjarnason and D'Aigle. But D'Aigle may likely be the third.
 
Lardis will be fun to watch at this level. Really had a solid season and playoff for the bulldogs.

Would like to see big Cole Brown get on this team. He really turned it up the second half of the season.

A kid that I think could help your team (I know it's a tough lineup to crack) is Andrew Basha out of Medicine Hat. Seen a few games this year when they played Regina and he really jumped off the page at me. He's a really skilled player that can shoot the puck.
 
Agreed - It will be huge for his draft stock to see how he performs with the best of his peers.
I'd like to see Alex Assadourian from Niagara get a chance. This kid had 33pts in 34 gms in the 2nd half of the season after being traded to an aweful Niagara team that barely scores goals. Loved seeing this kid compete.

I like that there are 4 ‘06’s on the roster.

Porter Martone, Gabriel D’Aigle, Macklin Celebrini and Berkley Catton.
