HF Habs: World Championship

[De Montreal]

I'm thinking Cole Caufield gets an invitation for Team USA, Nick Suzuki also most likely. Who else? Jake Allen? Joel Armia? But do they decline going? Romanov is likely too.

We'll see if Russia can play... Are there any news regarding that?

rather see CC go to the rocket

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

I could see maybe see Evans/Pitlick being of interest to Canada as they've gone younger with their roster in this tournament in recent years.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Canada: Price, Suzuki
Maybe: Edmundson, Anderson

USA: Caufield
Finland: Armia, Ylonen?
Russia?: Romanov

 

[nhlfan9191]

USA: Caufield
Finland: Armia, Ylonen?
Russia?: Romanov

If Price is healthy, it would actually be nice to see him get in some games there and see if he can bring home another gold on another stage.

I'd rather see them all get rest and train with the development coaches.. but I'm sure its an honor for some.

Sean Farrell?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Pretty sure Russia and Belarus are both banned from IIHF tournaments. I mean, they both banned from the world juniors next year, no ? Or is it they just can't compete as Russia/Belarus ?

 

[Vachon23]

Canada: Price, Suzuki
Maybe: Edmundson, Anderson

USA: Caufield
Finland: Armia, Ylonen?
Russia?: Romanov

Price won’t go there
Russia either

Maybe Anderson for Canada ?

 

[montreal]

I would expect Dichow to be there

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Suzuki and Caufield should both go.

Armia for Finland.

We'll see about Harris or Allen.

That's about it, I think.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Can Armia even make it to team Finland lol

I hope Suzuki goes. I think he can absolutely dominate on big ice against lesser competition.

They won't be competing at all.

Maybe if Price gets a World Championship gold too he will finally have a shot at making the Hall of Fame

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Could Wideman make Team USA's defense?

 

[Treb]

Could Wideman make Team USA's defense?

Plenty of guys of non PO teams can join in, so I would be surprised.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Could Wideman make Team USA's defense?

No. Way too many other players before him, including Sanderson (Ottawa), Cam Fowler (Ana), Zack Werenski (Columbus), Seth Jones (Chi), Jake McCabe (Chi), Scott Mayfield (NYI), Quinn Hughes (Vancouver), Neal Pionk (Win), Nate Schmidt (Win), and Jeff Petry. Maybe Chychrun depending on his status.

That's 10 D not including Chychrun.

Chychrun is with Canada though

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Chychrun is with Canada though

Couldn't remember which side he chose.

Even without him, it's still 10 D, although I doubt Petry goes, as his wife has a newborn.

U.S. might add an NCAA player like Faber too. He played at the Olympics.

 

[Vachon23]

Couldn't remember which side he chose.

He played with Canada at the U18 and he was on Canada list for the OG

USA usually has trouble getting their NHL guys to go to WC so I doubt those players are all joining them. They do have a deeper pool of NHL defensemen than they've ever had though.

There is no chance that the habs allow Suzuki. CC, or Romanov to play.
management cannot be so stupid. Really nobody can be that stupid!!!
