Gudnason 607 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Rookie general manager Rudi Ying today confirmed the participation of six players for his World Cup roster. With teams allowed six forwards, four defensemen, and two goalies, half of the Team World roster is now complete. The players, as confirmed by Ying, who will be suiting up for Team World this offseason are Czech Jakab Holik, Ukrainian Bobby Digital, Romanian Pietro Maximoff, Mongolian Franchise Cornerstone, Hong Konger Fook Yu, and Singaporean Takashi Fujimoto. Having named four forwards, one defenseman, and one goalie so far, the other eligible candidates will be in heated competition vying for the remaining two forward positions, three defensemen positions, and backup goalie position. With forwards such as veteran Felipe Rodriguez, rookie sensation Fredinamijs Krigars, third-year Conrad Jenkins, and VHLM superstar Slava Aleksei still on the table, it will be interesting to see what goes through Ying's mind in the upcoming days as he narrows down his options and picks his last two forwards. While there are three defensemen positions still up for grabs, the battle on the blue line is no less intense than the battle up front with at least four veterans and two youngsters in contention - Guntis Petenis, Pavel Komarov, Maksym Barnyashev, Alexander Thrower, Aleksei Federov, and Roman Sokolov. Goaltenders lining up to back up defending Shaw winner Jakab Holik are Ilya Kopralkov, Edwin Threencarnacion, Jacob, and Artom Zhumbayev. Rumours are swirling that despite Shanghai native Astrid Moon's excellent season for the Helsinki Titans this season, his name will not be under consideration for Team World as long as Ying has the final say.
