Monahan is great, but I don't think he would make it, unless as a reserve/injury replacement. The Canadian depth is just amazing.

The D is what I find most interesting. There are not nearly as many "locks" as in prior years. Ignoring lefty/righty for the moment, are the following locks?:

Pietrangelo
Burns
Doughty
Letang

Plenty of offense, but perhaps a little long in the tooth. Would the rest skew a little younger/more physical, or has the game changed enough you go with full on speed?

Hamilton
Reilly
Chabot
Theodore
Morrissey
Ekblad
Ellis
Subban
Brodie
Dumba
Makar?

I mean I think they would at least garner consideration. Gio should have a chance. Probably missed a bunch more as well.
