Not that bad, really. Probably about 50% accuracy, and most of these guys have been in the Olympic discussion before.

Defence (Note - I don't know which side guys play on, and for the purposes of this exercise don't care):

Keith -- Hamhuis
Subban -- Seabrooke
Burns -- Vlasic
Green -- TJ Brodie (Captain, obviously)

Except for Brodie, all of these guys have been considered. But I'd be pretty upset if Canada took this defence.

Which really reflects the fact that CorsiRel is a pretty good stat for evaluating forwards, but TERRIBLE at evaluating defencemen.

Hmm I'm usually not a big stats guy, and while that isn't even close to Canada's top team, it's really not bad. That team would probably be a decently competitive Olympic team still. Yes, even with TJ Brodie. Him being amongst those names is pretty damn good.
