Who will have the most players from an NHL team at WJC?

[kacz]

My guess is Nashville.

Glazachev, Klein, Suter, Stehlik, Sulzer are all possibilities. There's probably a team with more though...

[Dupuis>Ilya]

Atlanta has a shot at three with Coburn, Enstrom, and Sterling (if he gets healthy soon enough.) That's about par for the course, though. Nashville seems to have fourteen draft picks every year so it wouldn't surprise me if they had a lot of players in the tourney.

 

[icarus]

The Flames should have Phaneuf (Canada), Moore (US), and Ramholt (Switzerland) for sure. Peter should also make Switzerland, so that's four. A couple Swedes and Russians could make their squads, but I'm guessing Calgary will have four or five there.

 

[Bad News Benning]

Vancouver Canucks:

Ryan Kesler- USA
Niklas Danielsson- Sweden
Ilia Krikunov - Russia
Lukas Mensator - Czech Republic

longshots:

Denis Grot - Russia
MA Bernier- Canada
PF Guenette- Canada

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Pittsburgh Penguins:
Patrick Bartschi- Switzerland
Stephen Dixon- Canada
Maxim Talbot- Canada
Ondrej Nemec- Czech Republic

Longshots:
Daniel Fernholm- Sweden
Jonathan Filewich- Canada
Ryan Stone- Canada
Paul Bissonnette- Canada

no clue:
Evgeni Isakov- Russia
Lukas Bolf- Czech Rebublic

Not sure what the cut-off is as far as birthdate, Erik Christensen(Canada) turns 20 on December 17th.

 

[Cayouche5]

Habs
Halak ( Cze )
Korneev ( Rus )

And possibly

Locke (Can)
Urquhart( Can )
Lambert ( Can )

 

[montreal]

Habs
Halak ( Cze )
Korneev ( Rus )

And possibly

Locke (Can)
Urquhart( Can )
Lambert ( Can )

Halak plays for Team Slovakia.

Jaroslav Halak- Team Slovakia
Oskari Korpikari- Team Finland
Konstantin Korneev- Team Russia
Tomas Linhart- Team Czech


Those 4 should all make their teams, with Locke Lambert and Urquhart with a chance to make Team Canada.

Yea its a real longshot alright, since he is born 84 and is one year too old

 

[Evilo]

Pittsburgh Penguins:
Patrick Bartschi- Switzerland
Stephen Dixon- Canada
Maxim Talbot- Canada
Ondrej Nemec- Czech Republic

Longshots:
Daniel Fernholm- Sweden
Jonathan Filewich- Canada

How about Whitney, Welch? Aren't they eligible?

 

[John Flyers Fan]

Philadelphia Flyers should have 3 representatives

Jeff Carter & Mike Richards - Canada
Stefan Ruzicka - Slovakia

 

[DutchLeafsfan]

Leafs:
Ian White, Canada
Alexander Steen, Sweden
Martin Sagat, Slovakia
Konstantin Volkov, Russia

I'd say the first two are locks, the last two good possibilities.

Most of the Leafs prospects who played in last years tourney are too old now...

 

[DarkHorse]

Islanders could send a bunch:

Jeremy Colliton - Canada
Bruno Gervais - Canada
Marcus Paulsson - Sweden
Robert Nilsson - Sweden
Sean Bergenheim - Finland
Evgeny Tunik - Russia
Dmitri Chernykh - Russia

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers could have seven players in the WJC

US-they will announce their complete roster tomorrow
Hugh Jessiman
Corey Potter(already named)

Canada
Nigel Dawes

Slovakia
Ivan Baranka
Ivan Dornic

Sweden
Marcus Jonasen

Switzerland
Phillipe Furrer

 

[leafaholix*]

Hehe... the Maple Leafs had like 11 players at last years tournament.

 

[DutchLeafsfan]

Sagat is a lock now, was named to Team Slovakia today...

 

[Jacob]

How about Whitney, Welch? Aren't they eligible?

Only 84 borns and younger. Welch made the team two years ago but was injured and did not participate.
