I listed the forwards I went with earlier but might as well put the whole team here:

Kunitz-Crosby-Stamkos
Sharp-Toews-Bergeron
E. Staal-Getzlaf-Perry
Duchene-Tavares-Giroux
Couture

Keith-Weber
Bouw-Pietr
Vlasic-Doughty
Subban

Price
Luongo
Fleury

Could easily have Benn replace Kunitz. I only recently switched to Kunitz and have him because of familiarity with Crosby but was really a toss up and don;t love leaving Benn at home. Went with Couture over Thornton because of age, skating and versatility. St. Louis tough to leave off but we have seen in the past what happens with going with age over the younger legs. Duchene beats out Hall because of versatility/200 ft. game.

I went with 3 L and 3 R defense despite not thinking those are the best guys to go but it does seem like what Team Canada wants. So unless Weber or Doughty can switch over in which case Seabrook replaces Vlasic to play with Keith I think Vlasic easily beats out Hamhuis. Subban beats out Letang to be the extra D. Boyle too old and declining to beat out the younger guys. With Doughty, Keith , Weber returning and Bouw there enough experience that they don't need Boyle.

Fleury beats out Smith due to more Team Canada experience and much better numbers so far this year. It is the 3rd guy anyways so not too important.
