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

[WeThreeKings]

could he be a Lehkonen lite ?

That would be the best case scenario but Lehkonen was simply better everywhere.

 

[bopeep]

Nurmi's skating looks effortless and he's making good, quick decisions when the puck is on his stick. I'm looking forward to seeing more...

[Antiillafire]

Rohrer is not going to the WJC either (Kasper is out as well for Austria).

Unvaccinated players are also unable to play, as Alex Ciernik from Slovakia is being denied eligibility to play.

that's not gonna help him get drafted

 

[SOLR]

Sure, but in terms of which country is better, it's meaningless.

It's just not the best on best, we'll see the depth. Great scouting moment.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Kapanen and Nurmi named to Finland for the WJC

Any word of Josh Roy or Riley Kidney attending this summer WJC?

I really have no idea. Kidney was at Boomers the other night so he wasn't at whatever camps were going on.

OK Boomer


Oh come on, someone had to do it.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Aren’t you a little old to be at Boomers? (Assuming past 8pm)

 

[Antiillafire]

Mysak is in for the WJC

I didn't go, I saw the picture haha.

'NURMI' sounds like something you yell before twisting someone's nipple or sticking your finger in their ear.

 

[Wats]

I'm really liking the Nurmi pick in the 7th round. He surprised me at camp.

It means grass.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So now we know Habs will have

- Kapanen
- Nurmi
- Mysak

 

[Antiillafire]

Still baffling to me that Mesar has decided not to go

 

[Kennerback]

Still baffling to me that Mesar has decided not to go

Habs told him not to go.

Not baffling at all.

After his season ended, it was all about preparing for the draft. After the draft, it was straight to development camp. So now is his chance to rest and prepare for camps.

Habs told him not to go.

Just to specify, they asked him not to go. The decision was still left up to Mesar.

I mean plenty of prospects who decided to go had long seasons. Jiricek is going just a few months later after a bad injury. Demek had a long season through the memorial cup and was also dealing with an injury and is going for Slovakia.
I don’t blame him for choosing to focus on the upcoming season though

Yes. They recommended he not go. He felt it was better to follow the Habs’ advice.

Exactly. Many of the ills of last season may be attributed to the short off-season the Habs had last year.

In Mesars case the Habs probably wanted him to have a proper off season even if he likely won't be NHL bound.

Wouldn't surprise me if he's at the 2023 WJC.
