Its impossible to predict this, all have been good enough to make Canada's World Junior Hockey team, every player on this team is amongst the best junior hockey players Canada has right now, period.

20 of them were drafted in the first round, and 6 of them are returning players from the 2020 gold medal winning team last year, there's a high chance the vast majority, if not all of them will become regular NHLers.

All three goalies are longshots to hit 50 NHL games played.

I'm a huge fan of these couple draft classes but this is still highly unlikely unfortunately. As for which ones will/won't make it? Who knows, but based on numbers alone this won't happen

 

[User1996]

Not sure if I’d out money against any one player, but I’d look in net and on D if I had to.

Schneider, Korzack, Spence, goalies.

Have a look at past teams. Something like half of them don't make it as NHL regulars and that includes usually a few first rounders. The 2010 team for example had Greg Nemisz, Colton Teubert, and Jordan Caron, all 1st rounders.

you will be surprised how many 1st rounders arent regular nhl players

 

[majormajor]

This is mosty just wild guessing.

G

Garand
Gauthier

D

Spence
Schneider
Korczak
Barron

F

Zary

Most years there will be more Team Canada forwards that don't make it as NHL regulars, but this is a good year.

 

[Tutu to]

Aside from the goalies I’d say:

Spence
Barron
Sizuki
Mercer

 

[Eternal Leaf]

I don't think any of the goalies are going to have long careers in the NHL.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Realistically, the goalies are all long shots. All the skaters seem likely to play in the NHL, but it's highly likely a few won't be regulars. If you are asking which of the skaters I think are the worst prospects on the team, I would say Korczak, Guhle, and Spence are the immediate three that come to mind. Maybe Schneider, Barron, Suzuki, Pelletier, and Holloway for a secondary group.

Might be in the minority but I rate Pelletier over Mercer

I remember seeing lucic live in red deer world juniors and thinking no chance that guy makes NHL.... luckily I'm no scout.

While true, this team has the most 1st rounders of any team, ever. Based on the 74% probability if playing 100 games or more, we can expect 16 players to become NHL regulars.

Pelletier has been one of Canada's best players. lol

He'll be a Flame regular by 2022.

Dunno about the other players but I honestly think McMichael is just Cody Hodgson lite. I don't get the fuss about him at all. At least guys like Mercer and Holloway can carve out careers in the bottom 6.

Lucic never played in the World Juniors, what are talking about.

 

[The Expert]

Not to mention the Red Deer World Juniors are next year, I feel like this is a joke going over my head.

Maybe he means the 2007 Super Series? Lucic did play in that, and they did have a game in Red Deer.

Pelletier will absolutely be an NHL player, it just remains to be seen if its more of a second line player or a 4th line energy guy.

Korzack is likely a future AHL callup/#8D kind of guy. He isn't really great at anything, just a very safe player to fill in for injuries

 

[Antropovsky]

Good catch, 2007 super series where he captained, played in red deer on September 7th.

I think with Hodgson most understood the hype when seeing him play against other kids..

You think McMichael has the lite version of a genetic mutation that causes his muscles to destroy themselves that won't get diagnosed late into his career and yet he will still play 300 games?

If Holloway can be a healthy Hodgson, that would be amazing

 

[DamonDRW]

Only Levi has a chance to become NHL regular. The rest of the team will end up in the minors. Absolute lack of creativity which is heavily punished in NHL compared to team Canada.

Maybe I'm slow, but I don't understand the irony, i.e. what you're referring to?
