Happy birthday Ashcan, you are still loved and missed. R.I.P.
We talk a lot today about players being warriors, but Ashbee truly set the standard.

Bill, even without the invite to the summer camp...Do you see any other prospects with a shot at the final roster? Laberge or Allison? |

Thanks Bill for putting up some fun reading during these slow days of summer.
Also, thank you to all the regular posters who post so I have something to read during my downtime at work. |

I'm not Bill, but I can't imagine any of this years picks making the Flyers 16-17 roster. In fact, the only prospect IMO, with a better than 50/50 chance of making the club in October is Provorov. However, I do think that Morin has a very good shot at coming up to stay at some point during the season. |

I think the WJC roster was meant not the Flyers roster.

oops, my bad.
Canada: Konecny is a lock as Bill said, probably won't see anyone else make the final squad unless a goalie or 2 gets injured opening the door for Hart
Sweden: Lindblom and Sandstrom should be there.
Russia: Rubtsov is a stone cold lock

Tomek may get a shot with Solvakia, but I'm not sure what division they're in. |

I think Myers and certainly Hart have good shots at Canada's roster with strong first halves. Goaltending is such a sore point lately with Canada, if he looks like a legitimate star like the hype is alluding to, he will be there.
I think Lindblom is too old for Sweeden but I could be wrong.
Voroboyov could be there for Russia as well. |

They don't have any A/A+ under-20 prospects outside of Konecny and Provorov, but there may be a few guys who could sneak onto teams with big first halfs. |

I believe this is Lindbloms last year of eligibility but I could be wrong, LOL.
Forgot about Myers (seems to be a theme around here), yup, with a strong 1st half, he'd definitely have a shot. Hart though has 2 or 3 guys firmly ahead of him, mainly due to age/experience, but if he really dominates in the first half or someone gets hurt, he certainly has a shot.

Now that Hicketts is too old, maybe Canada will bring some of their lesser defensemen |

Joe Hicketts is a fine defenseman. His coach overplayed him (and others), which was one of the reasons they lost. Playing any player for more than 80% of OT, unless that player is Wayne Gretzky or Bobby Orr, is just plain bad coaching.
It's not so much hating on Hicketts as it is hating on his coach' favoritism. |
