DeNiro Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Throw in Lockwood and we have 5 possible world junior invites. Could be more exciting than the time we had Hodgson vs Schroeder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grape Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I think Lockwood has a good shot if his shoulder holds up. Lind and Gadjovich need to up their games this year if they want a shot though IMO. Not sure what Canadian goalies look like this year so uncertain about DiPietro. Pettersson will make it for sure. At the end of the day I think we see 3 Canucks: Lockwood, Pettersson, and one of the Canadians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Vandelay Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Canada Lind - 50/50 for a bottom 6 role. Dipeitro - 75/25 chance of being back up to Hart. Gadjovich - unlikely. Candella - not a chance. Brassard - Not a chance. Sweden Pettersson - competing with Anderson for 1C. Finland Joulevi - best player on the team. USA Lockwood - Small chance. Needs a good first half of 2017-18 season. Rathbone - I honestly have no idea. And those are the only Canucks young enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand OJ and Pettersson should be 'locks' to not only make their respective squads, but play key roles in the tournament for their teams.

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?

On the other hand OJ and Pettersson should be 'locks' to not only make their respective squads, but play key roles in the tournament for their teams. The title of the OP is misleading but the above posts are pretty much on target. Three Canucks prospects are invited to Canada WJC Summer Camp out of 42 invitees in total. I believe that the final roster will have 22 players, so at least 20 guys at the Summer Camp will not make the team. None of the Canuck invitees are locks, but I think DiPietro is quite likely, Lind has a decent chance, and Gadjovich is a longshot. Realistically, we might hope for two spots. Pettersson and Juolevi are obviously in for Sweden and Finland respectively. Lockwood has an outside chance to make the US team. He was invited to the U.S. summer camp but cannot play because he is still recovering from shoulder surgery (although he is close and should be fine by September). Rathbone was not invited to the U.S. summer camp and therefore has very little chance of making the U.S. team. My best guess is four Canuck prospects in the WJC: Pettersson, Juolevi, DiPietro, and one of Lind, Gadjovich or Lockwood. That would still be a very good showing -- about the best I can remember, at least in the recent past, and all the players would be on contending teams.

Unless your an elite elite player if you don't play for the US development team they tend to turn a shoulder to you for the players on that team.

Raymond Luxury Yacht Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 For sure we will have one prospect playing, probably 3, possibly 4. Juolevi for sure. Pettersson most likely. Lind or DiPietro maybe. But hey, it's still a ways away, things could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
