Stamkos/St Louis
Bergeron/Marchand
Keith/Seabrook
Bouwmeester/Pietrangelo
All players partnered with their linemates and who excel at the NHL level. It was a great strategy that worked last time. In fact, I expect the Americans to emulate it as Burke mentioned it last time that the Americans had a hard time competing with the chemistry the Canadians have.

Yeah that is why I think there is a good shot Kunitz makes this team. If he is top 10 in scoring again at the time of the selection he will be there.
Kunitz - Crosby - Bergeron (Crosby and Bergeron great chemistry at WJC)
Tavares-
Stamkos- St.Louis (Second Scorer who is good in the corners)
Nash -
Getzlaf - Perry (Size and Speed on this line)
Staal - Toews - Giroux (Bergeron and Giroux can swap, makes this the shutdown line)
Richards, Couture
Keith- Seabrook
Doughty - Weber
Bouwmeester- Pietrangelo
Subban, Hamhuis
