I think they filled their Alex quota.

Don't forget the Alexei's!

 

[Curufinwe]

Bryz not being in the top 5 Russian goalies is sad and also funny.

Interesting if Petro / Jbo play the same line.

Fuck J-Bo on Team Canada.

 

[Samyy]

I don't see why J-Bo would make it over Phaneuf >=(

Tabris' parents live on the island I believe. You could have the top bunk in his room.

[Marvie_3]

My top six D would be

Keith-Doughty
Hamhuis-Weber
Bouwmeester-Pietrangelo
Subban
Seabrook

Everyone plays their proper side and all the pairings have some form of chemistry with each other.

Subban can draw in as a PP specialist and Seabrook can draw in as a shutdown specialist.

Splitting up Keith and Seabrook? lolno

 

[bonesmccoy]

Oh, wow, Gunnarsson. I don't see how Fraser, Kadri and Franson are all retained with just 6.5m left to spread around.

 

[SpectreFire]

Keith and Doughty were paired in 2010 and they played pretty damn well together.

[Dastardly Jerks]

It's obvious that John Gibson will be USAs starting goalie. Everyone can see it.

Fasth getting an invite to Sweden is *awesome*.

And how is Getzlaf not a lock? Did nobody see him last season?

No Alfredsson, hmmm...

Also first year without Lidstrom

Alfie will decide to play, but he will decide to play for Finland at the last minute.

 

[Red_Man]

Happy to see Gally get an invite, I don't expect him to make it but it'll be a good experience for 2018 and it wouldn't surprise me if he made it as the 13th forward. Yzerman said they won't necessarily run an equal number of lefties and righties at D, I'd be surprised if Subban doesn't make the top 6. At this point Crawford is the starter, but if Price bounces back this season I'd expect him to take it, he's excelled in this situation before.

Holy shit, I was at that game too. I could have thrown popcorn at you or tried to get security to kick you out or something.

Did you go with all your alts?

 

[Marvie_3]

How the hell is Cam Ward not there?

Fleury

 

[Vman]

How does Pomminville not get invited?

 

[Quick]

Oh, wow, Gunnarsson. I don't see how Fraser, Kadri and Franson are all retained with just 6.5m left to spread around.

Kadri takes the league minimum, showing us his CAPTAINCY material.

 

[Marvie_3]

How does Pomminville not get invited?

Because he's not even close to being good enough to make that team?

 

[Quick]

How does Pomminville not get invited?

Not enough citizens in the City of Pomminville.

 

[SpectreFire]

NOW THIS KID, NAZEM KADRI, HE'S NO KOVALCHUK. HE'S A GOOD ONTARIO BOY AND HE'LL, HE'LL TAKE A CONTRACT AMOUNT THAT WILL HELP THE TEAM WIN. GOOD OLE' CANADIAN KID, NAZEM KADRI.

 

[Vman]

Because he's not even close to being good enough to make that team?

He is better then half the americans invited.

You have to throw in some truculence, heart, and grit in there somewhere.

He is better then half the americans invited.

I see you have taken it on yourself to become the Wild-Gaf's Tabris. God speed soldier.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Apparently not better than Justin "1st Line All Star Warrior Better than Datsyuk" Abdelkader.

 

[Socreges]

The truth is in between these two posts. Maybe Pominville burned a bridge or two at some point.

Is he not a better player then gally, abdelkader, bennet, saad, bjugstad, oshie, plameri, lewis, and smith???

 

[Marvie_3]

So there are 4 full forward lines that are better than him then.

 

[Vman]

Sorry i meant forwards

 

[KingHenrik30]

Awesome seeing Lindberg on Swedens invite list. Can't wait for this kid to get on the Rangers.

 

[Marvie_3]

Sorry i meant forwards

I got that. Since there's 24 forwards and he's better than half of them, that means there's 12 that are better than him.

 

[calder]

PK at Rogers, really not liking this start from Josh Johnson either.

 

[Vman]

I got that. Since there's 24 forwards and he's better than half of them, that means there's 12 that are better than him.

Maybe, im just saying im surprised he wasnt invited. I feel his game is good on big ice and can play pk and pp. i realize the talent level of team usa but i feel he would be a good fit. Its whatever tho.

Looks like they've probably got 12-14 forwards that have a realistic shot (Pominville didn't make the cut) and they used the rest of the slots for young, versatile, speedy wildcards. Makes sense.

 

[Red_Man]

Pretty excited to see Patches play with a legit #1 C for once.

I didn't realize that's half the team. Everything Pominville does well, other players on the team do much better.

Beat me to this post.

Also Dat USA Goalie depth.

The point is, he's not even half as good as Plummervile.

No no no, that's the Leafs 1D goalie Mark Owuya

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Haha im on my phone sorry!

Don't worry, even soon Apple will be aware of how great(ish) Kyle Palmieri will become and won't have any choice but to add his name to their dictionary.

The point is, he's not even half as good as Plummervile.

I will not stand idly by while CBCs annual Kraft Pominville competition is tarnished with errors.

Oh, wow, Gunnarsson. I don't see how Fraser, Kadri and Franson are all retained with just 6.5m left to spread around.

Kadri will probably get a short-term bridge deal under $3m and Franson won't make much more than Gunnarsson.

Plus, Liles could be traded to free up some room. He isn't much worse than Gonchar or Streit.
