Chychrun for CAN


Yess maybe as a 7th D. They’ll probably take Rielly, Theodore and Chabot but I think after that Chychrun gets it over Morrissey

My picks for the 8 d-men would be:
Chabot, Petro, Theodore, Rielly, Ekblad, Parayko, Weber and of course Makar

At first I was like "wait is Kevin bahl Norwegian??"

But yeah alphabetical

Conor Garland is my guy to watch for that

Depends on how analytical their selection process is

They had Quick over CSchneider in 2016 so... 😬

Trocheck, Reinhart and Jake Mccabe. If he continues his play before his leg injury.

Was actually going to say Caufield for USA, what about players that everyone says should make it but really shouldn't. Mine is Sergei Bobrovsky for Russia, terrible numbers and yet everyone says he'll make it.

Who would be your 3 goalies for Russia? I'm assuming your starter would Vasilevskiy.

Could you see Sorokin possibly getting past Shesterkin with a great 21-22 season?

I haven't seen him much but think its surely possible. If he plays well, gets enough starts and NYI is a good defense/shutdown/mucker-grinder club.

RUS should have a very reliable-3 GMen to rely on.

Garland was fantastic at the world championships for team USA so I mean he could be a candidate
