*****PREDICT AND WIN*****

Win 50 credits by correctly guessing the 10 players that will make up the top 2 lines for Canada in the upcoming World Championships.
Just name your top 2 Canadian players at each position and post it on this forum. Entry deadline is December 28. I'll announce the top 2 lines early in the new year. If there are 2 winners, we'll split the prize, if there is more than 2 winners, we'll make a draw for the 50 credits. Only 1 entry per manager.

Good luck to all,
Neill

Shaquille Bogie , someone should try to offer some cash for this guy. He is at 250-250-250 ish with 99% to goaltending

He's on my scouting list now, but he is 1 year older, and 100 OVR less than Rowan Craig is already.

That is a huge difference to try and make up.
If he had proper training from when he was pulled, he'd probably be a shoe-in.

I wouldn't be objected to picking him, how often are div3 players on the NT?

Well this guy does not train his players in any kind of proportion, so someone would have to buy him.

Oh crap... he's trained 1:1:1... very odd.

ya i would like him, but that 99q could be hammered by one of you top teams.

Here's a little bit about the five goalies on Canada:

Tierney - one of the top player's in the world, Canada's undisputed #1 for now and the next few seasons. 552-275-326
Ludlam - huge experience (165) puts him a step above the guys that have similar numbers. 451-226-226
Crosby - 2nd highest rated Canadian keeper, good career path and a bit younger than his competition. 485-242-242
Craig - a fast riser, great Q's and CL, only 19 years old and closing in on 1000 OR. 414-207-207
Perrault - 3 Q's all above 90, 6/6@ 18 years old, this guy shoul finish his career with a higher OR than Tierney. 363-180-180

I expect to see Craig and Perrault taking over from the above 3 in the future.

I don't see a need to have more than 5 goalies on the team. We have the top 3 that the country has to offer (IMO), and the best 2 long term prospects gaining extra experience and training.


Two goalies that I like but aren't on the team are:

Francis Sharpe 461-236-235 G(q)93
Dominic Roberts 450-225-224 G(q)99

I've been trying to figure out how to get Craig more exp.

Unless he starts playing in National Games, or I get rid of my NC curse, his exp won't rise quick enough to be competitive in the international realm.

He's been the back-up for quite a few NT friendly games, even seen some rubber in a couple, but I don't know how much friendly games affect his exp.

P.S. Craig is in training camp this week, and will be getting another one at season end.
So he should be 1000 OVR by season's end... easily (barring injury... knocks on wood).
