I hope Brodie gets an invite.
Backlund should get an invite
Bärtschi might already be the best Swiss born forward playing in the NHL. EDIT: there have only been 2 this season
Would love to see Horak go play.
If other players on that list get invited, and go, great. If not, no worries.
With the NHL season going later this season, it doesn't appear that there will be much point for national teams to wait for players who lose in the first round, as the tournament will be nearly over by then.
