As much as I would love to see Lind and Gadjovich on the roster, I think that they will be left off of the final roster.  DiPietro will be there and get a couple of exhibition and prelim games, but Hart will likely be their guys when it starts to count.  Team Swededn will be the one that Canuck's fans will need to keep and eye on.

Is Jonathan Dahlen still eligible for wjc or just Elias?? Elias has just 4 pts in 18 international gp. I won't be expecting him to set the world on fire at the WJC leading the SHL in points or not.

No - too old. Barely though.

The Avalanche are expected to loan Tyson Jost to Hockey Canada for the World Juniors.

I really like Jost.

 

But I wish the Avalanche had left him @ UND this year. Too early IMO...

 

Which still makes this a good move, but?

UPDATE| The @CanadiensMTL have released defenceman Victor Mete for the @HC_WJC. @vmete98 will attend Canada's National Junior Team @SportChek Selection Camp beginning Tuesday. #WorldJuniors

 

Hardest to pick the D now that Mete is also invited?

 

Clague Fabbro

Mete Foote                 > great 2knd pairing, probably the most solid?

Mahura Makar

 

Not sure this rated top to bottom properly.  But this looks like how I would balance the pairs?

I wouldn't get too hopeful about Jost

  • I got some pushback on the possibility of Tyson Jost being sent to Canada to play in the World Juniors. Maybe I heard from some Canadian sources who engaged me in some wishful thinking, but it seems like the chances of him leaving the Avs for the tournament are smaller than I thought. Still could happen, but let’s face it – this team needs him.

You're forgetting Bean. He already made the team last year as an 18 year old. 

 

Fabbro, Clague, Makar, Bean and Mete are all LOCKS. 

 

I'd say Foote is heavily favoured for the #6 spot. 

 

#7 spot is a toss up

I suppose that why I come here; get everyone's perspective?

 

My thoughts were Mete & Clague passed Bean as left handed PMD's.  Clague is killing him in the WHL.  Mete made the NHL... I heard the coach likes to keep guys in balanced pairs, on their natural side.

 

And Mahura? 

 

I don't really know...

Lind/Gadj on the same line, with what should be a lock in McLeod, can only bode well. I think the Kaspick - Ang - Batherson line will be among the first group cut. 

Both are in tough with some pretty good prospects.  Should be fun to see whether both can ramp up their intensity and desire to make this team.  They are great prospects already, but what entices me is to see whether they have an extra gear to give. 

 

Also curious to see who becomes that versatile 13th forward.  Year after year, that 13th guy usually plays such a key role down the road in the tourney.  I feel Nick Suzuki will be that rover for the team.

 

But for Canada to do damage further down the tourney, their Defense really needs to play as one unit.  Got lots of talent, but can they play as one?

Would love to see Dube and Lind represent the Rockets on the Canadian team.  Not too sure about Foote.  He has the ability to be a top 6 back ender but needs to stop taking stupid and lazy penalties.  

Dube already made the team last year and had a great tournament. He is a 100% lock.
