I think with a strong showing he could lock up the #2 pick. Assuming a team isn't defensive hungry in the 2 spot.

Definitely could go #2…just depends who’s picking in that slot. Some GM’s will have a hard time passing on Verhoeff but if the Blues are sitting at #2, you can bet they will be drafting Stenberg. Personally I like Belchetz at this point…I have him at #2 right now.

Hard to dislike 6'5 6'6 wingers who can score. Especially one's that realize they are 6'5 and throw it around.

This draft is very much not a top pick or bust kind of draft. There's definitely many intriguing "consolation" prizes to losing the McKenna sweepstakes.

Bummer:

Surprising but it is also a very loaded team. Roger McQueen didn't make it either.

Got to believe Carbs is one of the top injury replacements.

Dang, also noticing Vanacker isn't on there either who is tearing up the CHL but he's a Blackhawk so F him

The good news is getting pissed off can do wonders for a prospect's development.

Yeah, I don't care about that. I just wanted to see him against higher competition than what he's currently facing to see how he does. Always more fun to watch the games when a future Blue is playing.

I don't have NHL Network, so I'll take the extra motivated prospect.

I'll take my personal entertainment over some perceived extra motivation to be a good hockey player

If I was Carbonneau I would have simply made the team!

If you were Carbonneau you would've been on 32 "Do Not Draft-Character Issues" lists.

oh so Backes fights his teammate and its leadership but I do it and it’s character issues

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas! And now a Happy WJC day to those who celebrate.

Really excited to watch Jiricek this tournament. He has taken a huge leap forward after injury plagued years slowed his delvelopment and looks like a legit top pairing guy in the future. I was writing him off and I was wrong.

Blues 6th rounder Love Haremstam has a shot to start as Sweden's goalie.

Disappointed Carbo didn't make it for Canada but it is what it is. Hopefully Jircek and the Jecho can start Canada off on a sour note tonight.

Dec. 26

Sweden vs. Slovakia; Noon., NHLN, TSN
Denmark vs. Finland; 2:30 p.m. NHLN, TSN
Germany vs. United States; 5 p.m., NHLN, TSN
Canada vs. Czechia; 7:30 p.m., NHLN, TSN

Jecho is injured right?

I expect to see a great performance by Adam Jiricek in this tournament.

Ah damn, seeing that now. Hand injury forced him out. Jiricek or bust at this point!

Ah yes, yet another hockey even that cord cutters have no ability to watch, as the network isn't available to subscribe to outside of a TV provider. Brilliant.

These fucking tards just cannot stop falling on their faces. Nuke the whole front office from orbit and start over.

Merry xmas and happy boxing day to everyone.

When you cancel TV services you're going to be missing out on being able to watch some things. But there are a couple of "cord cutter" services that have NHL network as well.

Harenstam has been strong in this one. Took a 5 on 3 to finally get one.

Swedes up 2-1 after 2
