Prospect Info: WJC 2022 part 2: Picking Back Up In August

[Wats]

Weird they asked Mesar not to go. He barely has any tournament experience while Slafkovsky was pretty much drafted because of them.

 

[Zilo44]

HuGo can't hold all these Ls this summers.

Its the same micromanagement that Bergevin was so hated for.

I guess you can always get injure at anytime. But I don’t like the idea of playing the WJC in August. They should simply have cancelled it IMO.

Guys have not played for months, the intensity will ramp up. A bad injury that lasts longer than expected can derail a whole season.

Plus, I could see why the team would like to have them in camp this september in order to try to assess them.

Let them hit the WJC in December instead.

 

[Wats]

He wasn't that bad at Habs camp especially if he was holding back on hitting. Hope he makes it and plays with his new teammate Hutson.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I don't understand... WJC is development, its playing hockey against the best of the best on the biggest stage. Its playing time added, its skills honed, its being battle tested. What could be gained from scrimmage and drills for two more weeks ?

Aside from Tuch who's invited ? Mysak and Kapanen?

Beck, Roy & Kidney invited to Canada's summer camp.
Tuch & Lane Hutson now invited to US camp.
Mysak wasn't at development camp because he was at Czechia's camp.
Kapanen will be there for Finland.

Same here... Why isn't a guy like Mesar encouraged to partake in the WJC, or Slaf for that matter?

I completely understand the Habs' POV on this.

Both Slaf and Mesar played all year. After their seasons were done, they started all the prep for the combine, the draft, all the media and interviews and then right into development camp.

At some point, the guys need to get a moment to breathe. Because they will be at Rookie Camp and then the main camp.

If they play in this tournament in August, they will be going on for two years non-stop.

Injuries can happen at any time, even during training. Mesar shouldnt be in a pro camp anyway, he should be in the CHL or back in europe, maaaaybe AHL.

Mesar played like 40 agmes this year... its not enough.

Beck, Roy & Kidney invited to Canada's summer camp.
Tuch & Lane Hutson now invited to US camp.
Mysak wasn't at development camp because he was at Czechia's camp.
Kapanen will be there for Finland.

Hopefully all these guys make it, especially Roy. Its gonna be a great experience for him and prime to show if hes the real deal or not.

wait are Slaf and Mesar officially out of this summer's world juniors.

 

[tintinetmilou]

what about Cayden Ghule?

 

[Belial]

what about Cayden Ghule?

He's injured, I don't think he's going.

 

[kudla]

Slaf is out 99%, he played 94 games this season. Meanwhile Mesar only 43.. I think he should be there, don't see any reason for him to skip it tbh

Habs advised him to not go.

 

[kudla]

Habs advised him to not go.

Well I guess they advised the same to Mysak and he decided to go to WJC despite being 2 years older than Mesar and having had a very long season

I don't know if they advised Mysak also to not go but this will be Mysak's last chance to participate so I guess he really wants to be there...

Mesar could go again in December.

 

[River Meadow]

No Slaf? that sucks.

Guess we get to watch McWright light it up for Canada.

 

[26Mats]

Any word on Guhle?

It's mainly because rookie and main camp are right after the WJC. So they don't want to risk an injury.

If they weren't so close to each other, I imagine they'd let him go. But I think they'd rather have Mesar be ready for camps.

There is the December WJC he can go to.

Any word on Guhle?

Habs confirmed he was recovering from a lower body injury. That is why he didn't take part on any on-ice activities at development camp.

I mean will he play at the world juniors in August?

 

[Adam Michaels]

I mean will he play at the world juniors in August?

Habs asked him not to. And the reason is because they'd rather he gets some rest and prepare for camp.

 

[FourQuarters]

Mysak is Captain. If he is healthy, he will go to WJC. But it looks like he didn't join WJC training camp until last weekend.

 

[Hannibal]

I won’t cheer for Canada since what that scandal revealed. Ugly shit.

It makes sense. I was just wondering if it was official.

Why aren't Wright and Bedard on the invite to summer camp for the 2023 WJC?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Why aren't Wrihht and Bedard on the invite to summer camp for the 2023 WJC?

I think Mesar shared that info.

 

[Mrb1p]

what about Cayden Ghule?

The goalie or the Dman?

Same here, plus cheering for Shane McWright is a hard pass.

Let's go USA!
