    Picking Bouchard is a massive mistake. We have enough fire power up front, and with Makar on the back end. Need guys who are strong in the D-Zone. He’s a defensive liability in a tournament with this amount of skill.

    If Bouchard makes the team, EVERY other team will be targeting him as a guy they can exploit in the D Zone, so unless you wanna put him with a Ekblad/Doughty type he’s not making the team
    You have to play at least *some* defense, and Evan seems allergic to that

      I thought the Tanev pick was a really good one but Weegar would definitely be a good one too. Defensively reliable but can produce a lot better than Tanev. But with Makar already being a lock we don’t need more offensive dmen

    The best argument for or against Skinner will be if the oilers sink or swim in November with McDavid being out.

    • @wainber1

      Skinner will have to provide, starting with the Oilers’ final October game, reasonably competent goaltending for me to be convinced that Hockey Canada’s front office, for the upcoming NHL 4 Nations tournament, should pick him to be one of the goalies for that national team. Given that for the upcoming tournament, the relevant Canadian, Finnish, Swedish and American teams will be playing, I consider, among those players under contract to any Canadian NHL team, who may be picked, some combo of, from the:
      - Canucks: Brock Boeser, Jake DeBrusk, Vinny Desharnais, Conor Garland, Nils Hoglander, Quinn Hughes, Kevin Lankinen and JT Miller
      - Flames: Rasmus Andersson, Mikael Backlund, Blake Coleman, Nazem Kadri, Anthony Mantha, MacKenzie Weegar and Connor Zary
      - Oilers: Viktor Arvidsson, Evan Bouchard, Matt Ekholm, Connor, McDavid, Calvin Pickard and Stuart Skinner
      - Jets: Mason Appleton, Eric Comrie, Kyle Connor, Connor Hellebuyck, Adam Lowry, Josh Morrissey and Mark Scheifele
      - Leafs: Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Tim Liljegren (the latter of whom scored the only goal for his homeland’s adult men’s team during the 2023 relevant IIHF top-division tourney during a loss of that team’s quarterfinal), Matt Knies, Mitch Marner, AM34, Max Pacioretty, Will Nylander, Tony Stolarz, Chris Tanev and John Tavares
      - Sens: Mike Amadio, Drake Batherson, Tom Chabot, Nick Cousins, Adam Gaudette, Claude Giroux, Noah Gregor, Ridly Greig, Brady Tkachuk and Linus Ullmark
      - Habs: Josh Anderson, Joel Armia, Cole Caufield, Kirby Dach, Jake Evans, Brendan Gallagher, Emil Heineman, Lane Hutson, Oliver Kapanen, Mike Matheson, Sam Montembeault, Alex Newhook, Mike Pezzetta, David Savard, Nick Suzuki and Arber Xhehaj

    I think the top 4 are locks no matter where you play them and I think fit nicely in the top 4. I like Bouchard but not being that great defensively and a pp specialist which will only be PP2 isn't worth it. Gotta keep in mind the pp2 is likely only getting around 30 seconds at the end of the powerplay plus you already have multiple other guys who can run it with Morrissey, Dobson and theodore. Like Weegar versatility that can contribute offensively and play solid defensively.

    A French goalie playing for the habs is a fair amount of pressure. I'd take montembeault over Skinner every time. But, right now I'd probably take Skinner over Hill. But a lot can change between now and the tournament.

    • @purpleicecube400
      @purpleicecube400 3 години тому

      That’s true, but it still doesn’t compare to the pressure of wearing Maple Leaf in a short best on best tournament where the margins are going to be so thin and the entire hockey world will be watching.
      People forget Price shutout the Americans in the semis in 2014 (and the final against Sweden) and Canada needed every single one of those saves as they only scored 1 against the US.
      The other three guys all won cups or were in game 7 of the SCF. Not his fault he hasn’t had the chance to prove himself in a high stakes environment, but definitely something to take into account.

    • @ngarcia103

    If Skinner is our goalie we are fucked.
