GASabresIUFAN Posted January 5, 2019 Report Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) As I watch the World Jrs and they discussed some players absent from the Tourney because they were in the NHL, I wondered what a best on best Tourney would look like right now. Who would be the US and Canadian centers? Would Dahlin and Ristolainen make the Swedish and Finnish teams? To balance the Tourney would you have a World team or a Czech team? So how would these teams look if we built 22 man rosters (13/7/2)? In honor of the US playing Finland for Gold, let’s start with nominations for those two teams. I added 2 obvious choices for each team. USA 1. Eichel 2. Matthews Finland 1. Laine 2. Ratanen Edited January 5, 2019 by GASabresIUFAN Quote
stuuuuuuuuu Posted January 7, 2019 Report Posted January 7, 2019 Johnny Hockey and Blake Wheeler playing with Matthews would be ridiculous Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted January 7, 2019 Author Report Posted January 7, 2019 The Finnish Team won’t be as deep, but it would have significant star power Line 1 Teravainen Aho Rantanen Line 2 Granlund Barkov Laine Line 3 Lehkonen Koivu Kapanen Line 4 Komarov Kotkaniemi Donskoi D1 Ristolainen Heiskanen D2 Vatanen Lindell D3 Maatta Jokiharju Rask Rinne Quote
French Collection Posted January 7, 2019 Report Posted January 7, 2019 Canada could put out: Hall McDavid Stamkos Marchand Crosby MacKinnon (Nova Scotia line) Tavares Scheifele Marner Benn Bergeron Stone Couture Point Giroux Rielly Doughty Chabot Burns Giordano Weber Subban Pietrangelo Holtby Price Jones My roster has too many guys, I had a hard time leaving some others off. 1 Quote

French Collection Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 Well, here is my attempt at team Sweden. They have some decent depth, especially on D. Arvidsson. Backstrom. Forsberg Landeskog. Pettersson. Lindholm Johansson. Rakell. Hornqvist Steen. Zibanajad. Nylander Silfverberg. Karlsson. Kempe Hedman. Stralman Ekman-Larsson. Karlsson Ekholm Klingberg Lindholm Larsson Lundqvist Markstrom Ullmark Quote
