I would probably take all of them (except for Gibson of course). Price still has consistency issues, and hasn't shown to be a capable goalie in clutch situations. Then there is Luongo who might be a better goalie than some of them, but I doubt Team Canada's braintrust has a ton of confidence in him. Meanwhile all five of those American goalies have proven in multiple seasons that they are capable of being very good goalies, and don't necessarily have the same issues that Luongo and Price do. Miller is really the only question mark right now, but how well he performed in 2010 puts him a little bit above the others imo.
Howard is a great goalie, and the contract Holland signed him to proves as much. Anderson was the best goalie in the world when healthy last season, and would have won the Vezina if he had played more games. He might not have the greatest track record, but right now he is better than any of the Canadian goalies.
