I know it's cliche, but they're taking a team, not individuals. I don't care who's left off (including Canucks prospects) if it makes them a better overall team.

Odd. Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Wow. Micheal Dal Colle cut. What's wrong with him? Chychrun was also surprisingly cut. damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toews Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Dal Colle hasn't had a good year in junior. Serious concerns whether he ever becomes a productive NHLer. I feel for the Islanders, I don't blame them for taking him where they did. Can you imagine that they have wiffed on 3 top 5 picks in Nino, Reinhart and now Dal Colle?

RRypien37 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Dal Colle cut. WTF....It was a shock he was last year already. Expected him to be a LOCK for sure this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I think a lot of you are under valuing mccann s nhl experience.. He is playing very well in an important role at the nhl level. If he is lent I would be surprised if he isnt the 1st line center. Yes his points arent flowing but hes getting chances and is often on the right side of the puck. If Mccann does go hope we see him and virt together at some point or involved in a 1-2 line punch. Look forward to the wjc could mccann qualify as team captain if he gets the nod. I think he has good leadership qualities. maybe thats too much given his lack of xp at last years wjc. maybe not. think he d be in consideration though. His maturity and drive is admirable for a 19 yr old rookie. Be a good example for the other young wjc kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toews Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I really wouldn't be surprised if this team doesn't medal. Usually just looking at the lineup you can see the clear edge that Canada has over the other contenders. This year that edge is much smaller. We have fewer returnees meaning the team is much younger. I hope I am dead wrong though and people quote my post to make me look like an idiot if we win gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree hes a top 6 guy on this team, but I just like those combos I put and think that a line of Perlini-Point-Beuvillier would be awesome and get the same minutes as the second line I put. My proposed line up there is three scoring lines and a checking energy line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have an experienced/older D squad vying for spots right now and a nice blend of forwards. Sure there isnt a Crosby Toews or Mcdavid. But the lineups filled with awesome players. I expect Marner to absolutely shine especially playing with his friend Strome. Point, Konecny and Barzal I expect to be awesome. Crouse and Virtanen will give our forwards some serious edge. Beauviller I expect to surprise some people too. It will be an awesome tourney and I cant wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
