Ossi Vaananen Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Good job, you named players who went 34, 36, 37, 41, 43. I like Marc-Olivier Roy though, the guy who went two picks after ours. Lehkonen and carrier also went after. And incase you didn't catch it, I meant Derek Roy, a difficult trade to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 People really think Hudon is a lock to make the team? Far from it. Yes he plays a physical role, but Shinkaruk is superior to him offensively and has just as good of a two way game. Don't forget that the World Juniors is all about politics too. Gotta represent each part of the country. Shinakruk being from Calgary and being a WHLer should give him a leg up. Mantha, Girard, Gauthier, Fucale, and Drouin are all Quebecers. Can't see Sutter putting any more Frenchies than that. He invited 11 WHLers for a reason. Those are the players he likes and wants on his team.

Boudrias Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 When Sutter was winning Gold every year the WHL dominated his picks. I honestly think the East really had their noses out of joint so they took the team over. Never won Gold once! Sutter comes back in to win the day. Tin foil aside Sutter is bound to pick players he sees all the time if skills are comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player who was named to last years team is pretty much a lock. Hudon was named to last years team but couldn't attend due to injury, yes he is a lock. Do you really think Sutter cares where a player was born, him and the rest of hockey Canada's goal is to ice the best team they can and win gold. A players home town has nothing to do with that goal. I would be happy to place a friendly bet with you regarding Hudon making the team if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lock Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Any player who was named to last years team is pretty much a lock. Hudon was named to last years team but couldn't attend due to injury, yes he is a lock. Do you really think Sutter cares where a player was born, him and the rest of hockey Canada's goal is to ice the best team they can and win gold. A players home town has nothing to do with that goal. I would be happy to place a friendly bet with you regarding Hudon making the team if you like. Hudon's not a lock if they're looking to ice the best team. He'll have to compete to get that spot just like everyone else. To think Hudon's a lock because he was supposed to be on last year's team is just as biased as thinking someone will be a lock because of their hometown. If Team Canada's about doing favours for certain players, then they're not iceing the best team. That being said, Shinkaruk has to fight for that position as well, so to say either of them has a better chance is ridiculous. It's up to them to prove their worth.

I'm Your Huckleberry Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 To be honest, I don't think Shink will make it based on GMMG's comments regarding Shink's injuries. Didn't hear the interview personally, but the summary in canucks talk made it sound as if GMMG was preemptively explaining why he's not going to make the WJ team to calm the masses when they hear he's been cut.

73 Percent Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 ya I mean I reeeealy wanted him to make the team but I think a little part of me knew he probably wouldn't. seems like those injuries are taking a toll. he should finally get some time to heal up when he gets back home. he doesn't need to play to impress anymore.

NuckMan Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Really? All kinds of happiness when the kid gets drafted. Then he goes through a tough stretch and everyone thinks it's over. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strong Sedins Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 He's going to be better than half the nhl and believe me that he will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuckMan Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 I'm delighted we have him. When I was doing draft research, I took an interest in him 'just cause' since I figured there was no way he'd fall to us. Jumped for joy when Calgary didn't take him.

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Tyson Giuriato @TysonGiuriato 44s #Canucks prospect Bo Horvat playing with McDavid and Reinhart on top line today. Shinkaruk with Petan and Hudson on the second line. Sutter seems to really like Shink with Petan. He's been putting them together since the Subway Series.

baumerman77 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Can Hunter play in the AHL next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorevat Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Yeah unfortunatly Hunter didn't show sutter much in terms of why he should be on the team. Doesn't help that Mantha had a strong game either, hope that leier and girard get cut instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 It may help his chances that Rychel didn't look very good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
