Dave Cameron’s departure to the World Juniors presents a fascinating crossroads for the Ottawa 67’s. Is this a chance for a mid-season reset, or will his absence exacerbate existing issues? The team’s dismal penalty kill is clearly a major concern. Is it a personnel problem, a coaching issue, or a combination of both? How will the remaining coaching staff address this glaring weakness? Looking ahead to the World Juniors, the Canadian roster has sparked considerable debate. Is prioritizing veteran presence over high-end talent the right approach? Will this strategy ultimately lead to gold, or will it backfire against younger, faster teams? What are your bold predictions for Canada’s performance? Finally, with Luca Pinelli and Filip Ekberg heading to their respective national teams, what opportunities arise for other 67’s players to step up and shine? Could this be a breakout moment for some of the younger talent? Let’s hear your thoughts.
