Thomas Harley
Seth Jarvis
Nathan MacKinnon
Sidney Crosby
Mitch Marner
Connor McDavid
Shea Theodore
In:
Connor Bedard
Beckett Sennecke
Wyatt Johnston
Alexis Lafreniere
Dylan Guenther
Brandt Clarke
Owen Power
Mason McTavish
Matthew Schaefer
Noah Dobson
Quinton Byfield
Sam Montembeault
Out:
Devon Toews
Sam Bennett
Sam Reinhart
Bo Horvat
Brandon Hagel
Tom Wilson
Josh Morrissey
Colton Parayko
Mark Stone
Brad Marchand
Drew Doughty
Jordan Binnington
Note: I think/hope Zane Parekh will be ready for the 2030 Olympics but even that would be a stretch since team Canada really struggles to bring young players but especially young defencemen. He would have to develop really quickly into a top pairing defenceman to have a shot at a roster spot on team Canada in two years to play in the World Cup.

Crosby at 42 I wonder if he's still playing and if he is what level he's playing at. If anyone can keep it up it's him though.
Odds of Parekh making the team are under 1%. There's a reason Bouchard is at home and he's the highest scoring dman in the league at the break.
Maybe McKenna surprises if he steps into the league similar to how Celebrini has. Johnston, Schaefer, Bedard hopefully all take their play to another level
