HowYaDrouin Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Mark Masters @markhmasters 2h2 hours ago No morning skate for Canada tomorrow; here's the projected lineup for the pre-tournament opener against Finland: Kuokkanen-Nättinen-Palmu Vesalainen/Koivula-Räsänen-Tolvanen Luoto-Borgström-Vesalainen Ruotsalainen-Mattila-Björkqvist Juolevi-Saarijärvi Välimäki-Heiskanen Niemeläinen-ERäsänen Vehvilainen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be a fun game Somebody else asked a similar lineup question on HFBoards and I remember somebody responding that Roy's size, speed and grit are of more value then his skill. Therefor he will be on the shutdown line. Where as Joesph is skilled as hell but with not as much grit or physicality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they should just keep players together if they show actually chemistry, like I thought I saw with those two. Would like to see Jost with Strome later, but oh well.

Time Lord Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I like the 1st and 3rd lines. Not sure about the rest of the lineup. I'm hoping McLeod takes Dubé's spot and Lauzon takes Clague's spot at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 We have a pretty solid looking team this year. Looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggieBush Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It'll be interesting to see who gets named the captain. Personally, I think Mitchell Stephens is the guy. Great leadership qualities, been a captain at every level, real good character kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Let's go Barzal, solid showcasing for a trade please ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it's not that he doesn't deserve to be there, because there are no superstar on that right side, but I thought they would have reunited Strome and Raddysh, they are already playing together. What I don't understand is Mitchells on the right side. I thought he was one of our best faceoff man last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK even growing up together (Strome and Stephens played together when they were younger) Mitchell Stephens was always the captain. There is something about him that speaks captain.

Tyndall2 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Dube can put the puck in the net. Don't discount him just because he is from the WHL, where they play defense too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
