Plymouth (OHL) 2010 Dft/Rep. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Notable but not surprising exclusions include Buffalo's Zach Kassian and Minnesota's Tyler Cuma. Kassian has been having a bad year and his lack of discipline may have been a red flag while Cuma has yet to recover properly from last year's injury. The 2010 prospects are Hall, Seguin, Gormley and Mcfarland. Hall seems like a lock with Seguin probably going to grab at least a lower role. Hodgson while still hurt may be able to participate if his back heals up right, and he'll fit in perfectly on a top line with Hall and Eberle. It'll be good to see Cowen play a significant role too for Canada after last year's unfortunate injury. Bourque from Nashville was a surprising invite, also Dylan Olsen will one to watch on a significant stage. Pietrangelo may participate too since St. Louis deemed him unready to play in the NHL apparently. Deslauriers while a good player, may be hard-pressed to make the team. Possible 3rd- 4th liners include Cody Eakin, Scott Glennie, Louis LeBlanc, Cormier, and Della Rovere. Nazem Kadri is an outsider, possible a Evander Kane like role from last year if needed same with Caron. Will be great to see De Haan on a top 4. Projected Top 6 forwards: Hall-Hodgson-Eberle Nesmisz- Schenn- Seguin/Glennie. Projected starting goalie is St. Louis's Jake Allen, with Minnesota's Matt Hackett afterwards. Will be back soon with USA, Russia and Sweeden stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewraras Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Looking forward to this thread, thanks for getting it going Moneypuck. Nice to see Leblanc invited - do the Habs have any other prospects already in the system that might turn up at this tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Kristo U.S. Mike Cichy U.S. Maxim Trunev Russia Joonas Nattinen Finland Notable omissions were Avystyn from team Russia. Probably the only lock is Kristo.

SteenIsThaFuture Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 God I hate this tournament. The tournament in itself is fine and the coverage/treatment of it is satisfactory everywhere EXCEPT Canada where for some reason they overhype it to no end. What spot will Leblanc have 3rd/4th liner? I'd say hes battling for a 4th line spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-1 Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 God I hate this tournament. I actually love the tournament. Maybe overhyped but it gives me the opportunity to watch some of the draft eligible prospects and the already-drafted top prospects in action. Last year was some pretty good hockey, Canada-USA & Canada-Russia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon McGuire is a monster. Yes I can't stand him either but I'll take him over CBC & Bob Cole. Even though I can't understand I like to watch on RDS as well to hear et le but.

From what has been posted about Benoit Brunet I'm glad I don't know what he is saying! too true. brunet is rds' mcguire but i can tune him out easy enough - at least, we don't have to look at him between the benches and he doesn't cover the world juniors.
