If anyone could post the other lines that would be great! I don’t have an Athletic account.

Are we really going to have no representation at the WJC?

I noticed that to be the case when I read the article yesterday. Lindstrom would have been our best bet.

Melvin Strahl is the closest we got. Waddell went heavy on Canadians in the draft and that’s a tough lineup to crack.

Marelli should hopefully at least get a look for team Canada. Tied for points lead in ohl for defensemen.

Lindstrom would of course be a lock if healthy.

I usually only watch to follow CBJ prospects so definitely disappointing.

• Dickinson and Bonk and Parekh seem like locks, especially when Dickinson and Bonk already are a pairing in London and have chemistry
• I think when you get past the top four the team is looking for "best fit" which is likely not just offensive stats. Even Carter Yakemchuk doesn't make this projected cut.
• The Hockey News also projects Yakemchuk as maybe the #7. Marelli might not even get an invite to camp.
• On a side note, THN has Evan Gardner as perhaps an invite who doesn't make the cut and Wheeler mentions him in the also-rans.

I saw people say Flyers have a mediocre pipeline yet they have 4 players on team Canada

@ViD is going to leave us for the Hurricanes in a few years. Look at all the Russian prospects they have.

Did you see those jerseys though ?

Dang, that’s depressing.

Seems like Pinelli might be our only chance, and it’s a long shot.

Ohio native AJ Spellacy is invited to US camp. Drafted by Chicago, he sounds like the kind of kid DW would have been targeting in this past draft.

 

[majormajor]

Carter Yakemchuk not in consideration is wild to me. He was great in NHL pre-season. This is his last year of eligibility too.

I assume you saw this posted in the prospects thread. Pinelli made the Canadian roster. Wow...seems like he was a total dark horse. So we have two...Pinelli and Strahl.
