Hey! Wiercioch got the invite! I thought he wasn't supposed to... ?

In any event, he's going to have some tough competition. I imagine Cuma, Hickey, Pietrangelo, Subban, and Teubert are all but locks, so that leaves 9 guys vying for 2 spots...

AWESOME, look who's there on D!

Patrick Wiercioch

L/G

6'4"

185

09/12/90

Maple Ridge, BC

Denver (WCHA)

OTT '08 (2, 42)

Nice to see Wiercioch on there. I'll admit, I thought he was American lol.

Look for Sexsmith to start with Pickard backing him up. Sexsmith is putting up some ridiculous numbers in the Dub this season.

Only 4 returnees but loads of other young talent.

Looking forward to seeing a sick first line of Hodgson - Tavares - Hall.

Should be a great tournament!

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Weircioch!!!

Who owns the rights to Tyler Myers or is he in this year's draft? 6' 7.5" and potentially playing 'd' for team Canada. Me likey everything about that!!!

When Leeder was on Team 1200 yesterday they specifically asked him about Sens prospects. He mentioned Karlsson and Petersson, and said there was a chance that Wiercioch would be invited, but he was very careful not to say it was a good chance, or that they'd been lobbying the team officials. But they must have been, right?

I didn't think Pietrangelo was doing all that well. I thought his star lost some shine. Plus when the get to camp it's "Show me now" that counts more than reputation. No Spezzas there, right?

On a related note: I was just watching the NHL network, and they announced that Jim O'Brien will be on Team USA. With Karlsson, that's 3 of our prospects playing at the juniors...

Someone was saying something about a Petersson on Sweden too? Supposedly he's one of our prospects too.. So if Wiercioch can make it, then we'd have 4!

And Andre Petersson.
