Rob_Zepp Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 It seems like for the first time in many years, the Canucks may have quite a few players at the WJC which is in Buffalo for 2018. Feel free to use this thread to debate/suggest players but it would seem at a minimum the following will get serious consideration: Canada - DiPietro, Lind and perhaps Gadjovich United States - Lockwood Sweden - Pettersson, Dahlen Finland - Juolevi Feel free to add others but cannot recall a time when 6 plus players were in WJC from this franchise.

Dahlen will be too old... It's looking good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReggieBush Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I think Will Lockwood will open a lot of peoples eyes at this WJHC. He is a really, really good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stonecoldstevebernier Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Gadjovich was invited to the WJC summer camp but Lind wasn't. Things can change depending on how the first few months of the season go, though. Would be nice to DiPietro in goal behind Hart. Pettersson and Juolevi will be stars for their teams, and Lockwood should have a decent chance of making it (especially if he shows offensive progress in his first couple months of the season).

Down by the River Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 By my count, of the TC summer invites, Gadjovich was the only 2017 draft-eligible player that was not taken in the first round. I'd say that is a good sign for the Canucks that Team Canada also saw a lot of positives in him. I also see several invitees that will probably make an NHL opening day roster, so there is certainly room for both Gadjovich and Lind if they impress in the Fall.

Vilardi, Patrick, Howden, Glass, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Dubé, Benson, Mcleod. Those are some of the centers but obviously some will have to play out of position. Lind will have a tough time making it if they all go to the WJC. Patrick and PLD might make NHL though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see Lind making it It's definitely an uphill battle, but if Lind comes out on fire to start next season and there are a few players that make their NHL teams or have injuries, hopefully he makes himself noticeable to be chosen.

Bandwagon38 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It is pretty exciting looking at our growing number of prospects and realizing how many could be showcased this Christmas in my favourite tourney of the year! After a decade of 1 of 2 prospects cracking WJC lineups it may be safe to say that this year we have 3-4 prominent members of their respective teams. Just curious who you think makes their teams and where they play on them? Dahlen and Petterssen top 6 Juolevi top pair DePeitro 2 or 3 Lind Top 6 Gadjovich Bottom 6 Are Gaudette, Goldobin or Boeser eligible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jankovic is not even a canuck prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
