For the other teams.

U.S.: Gaudreau and Tkachuk rank 5th and 8th in PPG among American forwards. They are locks in my opinion. That defense is stacked so I don't think Hanifin gets a look.

Sweden: Lindholm is a lock. Backlund is probably there as 13/14 forward IMO. Andersson might be the 4th RH d-man but it's unlikely. Depends if they want a LH/RH split.

Czech: Rittich is there as a goalie for sure IMO.

Germany: Reider is there for sure.

So you'd have Gio, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Rittich, Reider, and probably Backlund at the Olympics from the Flames if the Olympics started tomorrow.
