RRypien37 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 So the tournament being a month away, quite surprised no one else has started a thread or talked about this classic tournament. In some recent news, both Barzal and D.Strome have been assigned back to Junior, which will be a big boost Team Canada. Discuss away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieBush Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Strome is not a big boost for team Canada. He was terrible last year, even worse than JV. A lazy player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.53 Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Good call. I'm excited to see some rosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AriGold Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Apparently William Lockwood has an outside chance of making the USA team in a 4th line role. Would be amazing if he could make it. My predictions this year. 1. USA 2. Finland 3. Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know Juolevi and Boeser are locks for their respective Countries. Zhukenov for Russia? Lockwood for USA? Maybe Olsen gets a camp invite for Canada? That's pretty much it.

stonecoldstevebernier Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Lukas Jasek will hopefully be on the Czech roster, he was cut only a couple days before the tournament last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Maybe Olson can make a solid audition for team Canada that might make them make some tough decisions. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he does. He's been solid for PG. Most likely they'll go with Brisebois though. He's a clear cut #1 defenceman for them this year. Boeser and Juolevi are locks. Gaudette, Lockwood might have to claw their way into the USA roster as they're pretty stacked but still have a good chance of making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The projected roster is unreal. Finland has the best defense in the tournament. Canada has the best goaltending in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lazy player That just shows how little you know. He was Canada's best player last time around even if you think he struggled. Aside from McDavid and maybe Marner, there's no WJC eligible player that could help Canada more than Strome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAR from Canada's best player. Barzal, Marner, Beauvillier, Konecny, and Stephens were all far better than him. And that is just at forward, Stupid offensive zone turnovers, lazy backchecking, and horrible defensively. No Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Thank you He led the team in points playing against the toughest competition. But the bigger issue with your post is that you think he won't be big boost. A 3rd overall pick in his draft+2 year who dominates at the junior level? Yeah, Canada totally wouldn't want that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShakyWalton Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Tampa has 6 juniors in camp...nice drafting. We have 1..Brisebois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Brisebois has a shot! I assume they'll keep 8 D, he just has to beat out 2. I'd give him the edge over Myers, Mete, Lauzon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
