Stanley's out.  Berdin in.  Sounds like Vesalainen and Samberg in too...(?)

 

 

Glass Suzuki Stanley..  

Yup . interesting cuts. 

Canadas D interesting - timmins, claque, foote... all pitched as jets picks on this forum...

Straaaaange cuts. As soon as I saw Stanley cut I chuckled because I knew the tone of MBB/Jets would be "I TOLD U SOOOOO!!!11!ONE"

Surprised that they didn't keep Stanley around for practice, to save money on pylons...

Good to see Foote make it.  Sure would have loved to have seen him in a Jets uni some day.

Looks like the other teams in the tourney are loading up on skill and speed, while Stanley may have some skill he can't keep up with the quickness of the game even at this level, still plenty of time for him to work on his foot speed, no surprise he didn't make the team. GCG

The fact he was invited... Was a win.

You won't be laughing when Stanley matures into a solid 6th or 7th defenceman in five or six years

He'll be top 4 on the Jets by 2019-2020.

Um, no he won't.

Even if Trouba is gone - Buff, Kulikov, Morrissey and Poolman will all be here

why would I be laughing at all?  Not sure if you are being sarcastic or?

Sarcastic...

any ideas if this Canadian team is going to be any good?  They used to dominate but those were the days of Toews, Crosby and McDavid.  Any future super-stars on this team?  Should I bother watching?

how many Jets would qualify to play in this tournament?  Laine is still young enough right?  Connor?

I've just cleaned up this thread for the 2nd time.  Please try to post on the World Juniors topic.  Any issues you may have with another poster, take it to PMs.

Roslo and Foley played on team USA last year.  Both are too old now correct?  Haven't heard if Samberg has officially made the US team yet.

Nah. But if he could be a bottom pairing D that be good. Hes just 2 slow to play top 4.

That's a 27 man roster.  May be more cuts still coming.
