World Junior Pool - open for entry

[Dean Youngblood]

I wish Granlund could've played. He's a fun player to watch. Definitely a HUGE LOSS for team Finland.

As for your selections, I can't blame you for taking some risks. Risks are what wins pools like this.

Granlund is the difference between a 3rd or 4th place finish and a 5-8 place finish in my opinion.

So many guys will take the same players its hard to decide who is a breakout canidate.
I bet no one took D'Amigo or Neiderreiter last year.

TSN lists OEL on the SWE roster...
Whats going on?

[Dean Youngblood]

Don't trust TSN's rosters (as of right now). They aren't current at all.

check the iihf website

Yea, I've got a couple guys that aren't even playing I think.

Man I'm sorry but I laughed when I saw this.

Galiev and Yaukpov should be on RUSSIA though but they didnt take them.
Larsson isnt playing either

No worries, I'm laughing too. I sent mine in early and didn't do too much research.. more just a few gut picks - obviously didn't go so well

[dodospice]

I sent mine in before all the rosters were in but went with the "safe" picks lol.

[dmvincent]

Thank god I only had 2 inactive and they were D too... dammit TSN! Wikipedia was a better source then you!

Um... Bobby Mac Tweeted about 4-5 days ago that OEL was confirmed to not be playing.

Call me a happy camper :P

Also, am I the only one who took a chance on Norway's leading scorer from the under 18 squad last year, Sondre Olden? Went with my gut this year (last year missed out on d'Amigo...).

I'm probably one of the few who also didn't pick Marincin.

Didn't pick Marincin, but then again my whole roster is messed/inactive.

And now we wait... as soon as reeveta posts his 1st update, I will be able to help update it (if he doesn't mind, that is) a few times. I would do it this morning, but I don't have all the rosters, nor his nifty template sheet that makes everything easier.

[doulos]
