What makes that so stupid? Except for Romanov because he doesn't have a team to play for in there lol
HF Habs: World Championship
- Thread starter De Montreal
- Start date
Will Russia play? I doubt they can block players if they want to go. Suzuki and Caufield are young enough it could be good for them as long as they are healthy.
Would be nice to see Price attend if they wanted him. Given how few games he will have this year, a few more at the Worlds and a possible medal would be great.

No Russia but why would management be stupid to let Suzuki or Caufield go i dont get it
I doubt Armia gets invited, he hasn't played for the national team for close to 10 years and isn't young enough to be seen as a long term investment. Finland and Sweden usually get the core from the European leagues and some top end quality from NHL.
With few exceptions, Ristolainen, Laine, Heiskanen, they will probably have the same team as at the Olympics.

Exactly. They should go and play some meaningful hockey after this horrible season.

I think the north American teams often have to dig really deep into their depth charts at this tournament, so you could see wideman there.
It may not be something he wants to attend either though. The upside is that he gives himself another platform to try and get his next NHL deal. The downside is that he can get hurt, making it that much more difficult to get a solid offer to stay in the league.

And for anyone who doesn't get it. Suz, after too short an off-season,
played as the only real top 6 center on habs this season. He payed every
game, mostly under very difficult curcumstances. And with way too little
veteran support. Now some people want to punish him, by preventing him
from getting a rest, recovery time,, or a chance to prepare for next season.
I do hope, that whomever advises this young player, isn't this stupid!

Suzuki himself wants to go, I'm sure he doesn't feel punished. The world championship is 2 weeks, it's not like the playoffs, he'll still get plenty of rest this summer.

He’s also like 22 lmfao I’m sure he’ll be fine
Imagine backseating NHL players lol
Suzuki wants to go. I think he knows better than you do how much rest he needs.
Or maybe they are smarter than you and know this would be great fun and a chance to win a medal. He isn't 37 he is 22, playing 7-9 games in the worlds is not the end of the world.

encountering one suddenly is a natural laxative
Didn't I hear or read that Price always wanted to participate? so what's stopping him? If he can play in the NHL and he sure doesn't need a rest..................

I can tell you something is definitely stupid and it isn't Suzuki or Caufield playing for their respective countries and gaining valuable experience......

Hope some of the young guys go. Let them play some games in a different environment. This year has been a shit show, they could use a change of scenery.

So,you saying you foresee a relapse?Habs made it clear that Price would play when Price said he was ready,he's playing,so he's ready.
I don't foresee anything.
He said himself he probably won't go but it depends on where he is.
Suzuki Ready to Play At World’s, Price Likely Won’t
"Carey Price, who has just returned to the Montreal Canadiens after nine long months, wasn’t as enthusiastic about the opportunity to play at the Worlds as Suzuki was. Although he’s always wanted to take part in the tournament, Price would likely be better served spending the summer relaxing and strengthening of his knee for the full grind of an NHL season."
