2010 Team Canada World Juniors

Anyone else as pumped as I am? We can keep each other updated on who has got sent down of importance and predictions for the team.

Cody Hodgson
Jordan Eberle
Nazem Kadri
Brayden Schenn

this time Canadian fans cant cry about being disadvantage as an excuse because swedens top2 dmen wont be at the tournament.

Not much to cry about with 5 straight golds.

Has Duchene and Kane made their NHL teams?

I read Delzotto is sticking w/the Rangers - and he wasn't even invited to Canada's summer camp.

Yeah because Canada has never gone without two of its top players before in a tournament, and will probably have every available player for this one!

dude, Canada has like 5 times the depth of sweden junior wise. When a top player for Canada cant go, they just add someone almost just as good.

Sweden on the other hand does not have that luxary, missing karlsson and hedman would be a much bigger blow.

Its always a disadvantage for a country to lose players to the NHL, just as much for Canada as any other nation. Its not like Canada can just replace a guy like Tyler Myers, the team does get worse then he's not there.

It is still not the same because Hedman and Karlsson are already expected to make big impact in the NHL this season, and not having these two players on our team will lower our chances considerably.

Canada lost its top defenseman and its entire top line pretty much. Myers, Kane, Tavares, Duchene.

You don't think Team Canada would want those players?

It seems you didnt get my point. Canada can actually replace important players thanks to their incredible junior depth, but sweden cant. Not Hedman and Karlsson.

No, you didn't get my point, no team can replace talent that is lost in the NHL. No team can lose John Tavares and just replace him with another player. Canada has lost 4 players that simply cannot be replaced.

Only a fool would think that losing two players is worse than losing 4 players, no matter what nation.

He just means that Canada can't replace these top players with others of the same skill level. Obviously we have other who can step in and do the job, but you can't replace a John Taveres. We have lots of depth in this country, so we will always be able to find talented hockey players to play in this tournament, but I see your point as well. You have a bigger drop off in your depth then we do, so when you lose a big name player, its hurts more.

Should be another good tournament this year. You still have Markstrom in nets this year and a slew of returning forwards, plus some pretty good d-men including OEL.

I like the look of Canada's team this year, even with the losses of those big name players.

Huh, yet again, Canada can field 3 junior teams that can win gold while Sweden struggle to put out 1 team that has a shot at the gold.

How is it the same?

You seem to be arguing that Sweden is pathetic. Step back and look at your comments!

Tavares was drafted #1 - Duchene was #3. How do we replace that? We can't - someone will step in, but they won't be the numbers 1 or 3 draft picks - that's for sure!

You seem to be arguing that Sweden only has a limited number of players - full stop. Are you saying you'll have to draft in non-hockey players to fill your ranks? Perhaps the zamboni driver? :laugh:

What you seem to be saying is that Sweden will have to draft in less skilled players to fill the slots missing by having players in the NHL - just as we will have to do. Difference is - we have more slots to fill - as usual.

Depth? We've got it. But it's the heart of the players who fill in the gaps that keeps winning us gold. You should stop running down your less skilled players - they may just believe they could get the job done, then.

Oh comon, Canada can add 2010 #1 taylor hall instead, you already have superstars in the making. Canada has like 15-20 1st rounder in every draft, sweden broke a recored with 7 this year.

Sweden is pretty pathetic we havent won the gold in 29 years, and it would be nice you canadians could accept another country winning for once.

Not having future #1 Dmens in NHL in hedman and karlsson will blow for us, will we still have a chance? YEs of course, but I'd like to see a full team against Canada.

Stamkos could still play and I do not think that we could replace him with anyone

Is Del Zotto still eligible? And Does anyone know if Da Haan is still playing with New York? I'm 99% sure he's still eligible.

De Haan got set down. He had a great camp and even as a skinny kid he made it a really tough decision for the Isles.

He should make this team.

It looks like Del Zotto won't turn 20 until June 2010, so he's eligible as well.

We can accept it just fine. We've just not had to - you want us to roll over and play dead? Not bloody likely.

Actually, the year after a loss or two is when to watch out for us, as we'll elevate our game and come at you harder than ever.

Six in a row - seems impossible. Every team has a shot against those odds - stop being such a defeatist.

Hodgson
Kadri
Schenn
Eberle
Hall

Cuma, Lalonde, Myers, Ellis

Should be a solid squad

Here's my projected lineup...things may change especially with players such as Del Zotto, Kane, Duchene, O'Reilly, Pietrangelo, Myers etc. being potentially returned even though they have looked damn good.

Hall-Hodgson-Eberle
Adam-Kadri-Kozun
Caron-Schenn-Nemisz
Della Rovere-Cormier-Kassian
Colborne/Seguin


Ellis-Teubert
Dehaan-Cuma
Cowen-Hamonic
Lalonde

Allen
Jones

Matt Duchene will not be sent down. This was expected I'd say, but the dreamers out there can stop dreaming because the Avs say he'll stick.

None of the NHLer's are going to be sent down. Del Zotto, Myers, Kane, Stamkos, Tavares, O'Reilly, Duchene.

Damn thats a powerful lineup once again. Can't wait to finally have a leaf on center stage again. :D

Im calling Hackett and Seguin to make the team.

It will be a longshot. If Seguin keeps up this pace I could see him making the team. Hackett is a longshot IMHO, as there are plenty of parity between the top goalies. Jones, Allen, Roy, Pickard, Hackett, Carozzi and Pasquale could all have a shot at this team. I think Allen and Jones have the lead.

this time Canadian fans cant cry about being disadvantage as an excuse because swedens top2 dmen wont be at the tournament.

What a humourous comment.

And now Karlsson got cut because he'll need at least another year to be ready for the NHL. One less excuse.

In my opinion, far too many forwards from the 'O'. Judging from the past the dub usually has the highest content. I can't see kozun not making this team. As well I dont see Seguin having such a role on this team, he is a 1992. I like your d, although Teubert has to be on the top line instead of Cowen. Sauve has also impressed me. Glennie and Hackett are good players but not sure if they will crack the team, I would wager Glennie before Hackett.

Any chance Patrick Wiercioch makes the team, I know he attended camp.

Oh and when do they announce rosters?

Yes, he has a shot at the 3rd defensive pairing or 7th d-man. There is a lot of competition for the last few spots. The rosters are announced after camp (tryouts) which are usually early December.

Everyone might wanna save a roster spot for Brandon Macmillan.

Here is my new updated team:
