Plum Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The 2015 World Junior Hockey Champion Tournament starts on Boxing Day, December 26th with the US kicking it off against Finland. Canada has a chance to bring quite a bit of returning players from last year's tournament. McDavid will be one year better and older, adding in hopefully some older players in the NHL in Lazar, Horvat, Duclair and possibly Drouin. The head coach as been announced, Benoit Groulx with Scott Walker and Dave Lowry as the assistants.

Anti-Bettman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The NHL? I suppose but it's definitely not guaranteed. Look at Drouin last year for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piggy Bank Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I fear lots of these men will be in the NHL, and many in the AHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Lord Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Horvat played in the top 9 last time, so I don't see him on the 4th line a year later. He also could end up on the Canucks. Petan is a left handed center, isn't he? I assume he'll play center or maybe left wing. I don't know too much about some of the players, but the rest of the line up looks pretty accurate.

Rypien37 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I fear lots of these men will be in the NHL, and many in the AHL. You can't play in the AHL unless you have 4 full years of junior under your belt (assuming you are a NA Skater). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Horvat played in the top 9 last time, so I don't see him on the 4th line a year later. He also could end up on the Canucks. Petan is a left handed center, isn't he? I assume he'll play center or maybe left wing. I don't know too much about some of the players, but the rest of the line up looks pretty accurate. True but I like the center depth if he's on the 4th line, wasn't comfortable with Verhaeghe as the 4th line center. Dal Colle is also a left winger so I decided to just leave Petan there. You can't play in the AHL unless you have 4 full years of junior under your belt (assuming you are a NA Skater). That and you can't play in the AHL unless you're 20 years old. I suppose but it's definitely not guaranteed. Look at Drouin last year for example. I think he'll be in the NHL if he's in either Florida or Buffalo, I hope he isn't but these teams just throw them into their lineups and putting up 100 points in junior should probably be a good enough reason that another year of junior is a waste of a year.

Plum Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 No big scorer this year like Mantha, going to be interesting who fills that role. Petan had 100+ points in the WHL though. Milano - Eichel - Tuch Erne - Larkin - Schmaltz Connor - Compher - Fasching Lodge - De Leo - McCarron McCoshen - Santini Hanifin - Vanneli Butcher - Florentino/DeAngelo/Clifton Demko Nedeljkovic Cowley This will be very hard to play against.

Rypien37 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 That and you can't play in the AHL unless you're 20 years old. Technically you can. If you are a European skater not having played junior or if you are still 19 BUT have played 4 full years of junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timberz21 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 17 and 18 years as the first 2 center. I doubt it. Specially with another 18 years old on the first line (Dal Colle) Lazar was the best player last year, he would be the 2nd line center or on McDavid's wing imo. Petan-McDavid-Lazar Domi-Horvat-Dal Colle Fabbri-Bennett-Baptise Bleackley-Gauthier-Ritchie Morrisey-Fleury Bigras-Nurse Theodore-McKeown Sanheim Fucale Comrie However it is way too early to tell. Always surprises like Josh Anderson and injured player like Virtanen which we can't predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langdon Algur Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I know he'd be a long shot to make the team but is Jordan Subban still elligable? What about Cassels for the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Might be a little early to make predictions. Nice to know about the coaches (which I'd heard as well) but I'll wait on projected lineups until I find out who'd sticking in the NHL (and won't be released for the WJHC by their team) as well as who's injured, etc. I know he'd be a long shot to make the team but is Jordan Subban still elligable? What about Cassels for the US? Yes to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Algur Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Good to know Cassels is elligable. After the season he had last year you'd think he would have an inside edge on making the American team. Horvat if he doesn't make the Canucks should be counted on as a leader for Canada.

I put Lazar as the 3rd line center for depth and seeing that Bennett did better than Lazar in the CHL I expect him to do very well at the world juniors. Petan and Lazar are going to be the forward leaders without a doubt this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
