I'm surprised these lists haven't leaked out yet.

People around the teams must know who's on the lists because the whole point of them is to provide WADA with a list of players who could be in the Olympics, making them subject to random drug testing. As a result, the teams' medical staffs would need to know to make sure they don't give a player something that's forbidden by the Olympics that might be okay in the NHL.

I wonder if this means Mangiapane is the only Flame on Canada's list, or if he's just the most-surprising? I would have thought Monahan and Tanev could be there too.
