Canada might have another powerhouse world junior squad but perfection will not be easy
Spott already has seen the center from the host Russian team from the recently completed CHL Super Series and knows Canada includes a major challenge to come up with the country first junior gold since 2009,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Listed here are the 4 areas that could require toughest decisions:
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, after a 52-point season in the NHL being an 18-year-old last year, is actually slated to become Canada No. 1 centre and finest player.
Still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two questions still be answered. First, how is RNH surgically repaired shoulder after working the first two months of the season within the AHL? Second,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when there is a resolution to the lockout in the next week to 10 days,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or anytime before Canada opens the tournament on Boxing Day against Germany, will Edmonton demand Nugent-Hopkins return?
Goaltending is continuing to grow right into a problem area for Team Canada recently,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], area of the reason there's been no Canadian gold the last three tournaments.
None of the four goalies invited to camp Malcolm Subban,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jordan Binnington,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Laurent Broissoit and Jake Peterson has any world junior experience. Both Binnington and Broissoit have played in the Memorial Cup. Only Subban (Boston) is a first round pick.
Three will make the team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with one designated because the No. 3 netminder. The Super Series didn really put among the four ahead of the others. This is too near to call.
As opposed to the crease, Canada has a insightful first round picks about the blue line, including Maple Leafs first-rounder Morgan Rielly. Rielly is really a terrific skater,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which provides him a good shot at making the squad because of the big ice.
Twelve rearguards come in camp,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including returnees Dougie Hamilton and Scott Hamilton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plus Matt Dumba and Ryan Murphy, two blue-liners who have been selection camp cuts this past year. There are lots of big names, but don eliminate Frankie Corrado of Vaughan, Ont., who's using a strong season in Sudbury and caught some eyes throughout the Super Series.
This is a tournament traditionally covered with 19-year-olds. 1 overall pick in next summer NHL draft. But Drouin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Monahan (currently suspended through the OHL) and Shinkaruk are having strong seasons.
What percentage of these draft-eligible players can Canada carry? Will it be smarter to choose older players overseas,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], players who can fill the less glamorous roles?
The lockout Team Canada had one draft eligible player,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 17-year-old blue-liner Wade Redden. The team had 17-year-old Sidney Crosby. History suggests only one,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], maybe two, of those talented draft-eligible kids can make the squad.
