Dark horse? I'll say David Clarkson, spurred on by the exposure of playing in a higher visibility market and the need for some sandpaper on the team. That said, it's a stretch.

Starting in goal - my guess is Luongo at this stage.
I don't think the odds are as stacked as you think, but it would definitely be a long shot. At this point the starter will be Lou, mostly due to the fact the Habs found lightning in a bottle. But IMHO Price is the better tender. That's going to be our "weakness"; perhaps someone will come out of left field. Canada's management has made some bold moves before.
