Besides the Canadian roster, what other Habs prospects might be in the tournament? I know Tinordi could be there, will Kritso be back? What about Berger? Is he eligible? Also, that Czech centre we drafted this year (name escapes me).
Tinordi is invited. He has to have a great start with London to be considered though. That's all I can think of... Westin wasn't invited as far as I know.

It's his second year and hopefully the added motivation will help.

For Sweden, Westin seems a long shot at this point since we wasn't invited to Sweden's mini tournament vs Finland and Team USA that's currently underway, but if he can make some noise with Modo this year perhaps he could work his way onto the lineup.
I'm told Pribyl stands a very good chance of being there for the Czech's, I think Gallagher makes it and hopefully at least one or two of Tinordi, Bournival, Beaulieu make it.

I think there is a strong possibility to have three habs prospect for Team Canada
Gallagher and Bournival should be there. As for Beaulieu, I think he will be invited to the december camp. He will be either on the final cut or he will make the cut.
If all three make the team I think it will be the first time since 2000 that the habs send three players to team canada jr..
2000= Ryder, Chouinard and Ribeiro... Chouinard and Ribeire were a dissapointement. Ryder was a surprise.

Would be great if all 3 made it. I think Tinordi makes Team USA, so would be nice to have 5 prospects at the wjc's. If all 3 make Canada, hopefully they fare better then the guys did in 2000.
Tinordi made the first cut.. There are 4 LHDs. Forbort and Merrill are locks. He's battling it out with Levi. I think it comes down to whether USA wants a shutdown guy or a 2-way D.
PS. Tinordi is last on the d-men list because it's alphabetical

According to USA hockey site Tinordi in 3 games has 2 assists and 10 pim.
He is also listed at 6-7 and 215.
I know its a small sample but it's nice to hear good things.
I know I'll definitely sound noob saying this (was already high on Tinordi surprised a lot aren't) but "Captain of the U.S. Men’s National Under-18 Team that captured the gold medal at the 2010 International Ice Hockey Federation World Men’s U18 Championship in Minsk and Bobruisk, Belarus".
Never even knew. Sounds like he's a leader like Gorges Did you know he too was captain of the Kelowna Rockets
Hey I just realized in the Sweden game he must have taken 2-4 penalties depending on length. 8 mins...
