Happy to see Pospisil get this opportunity! He is one of my Flames, and I think this will be a huge year for him.

I'm also glad to see Landeskog, I have nothing but respect for his perseverance and what he went through, just so he can play hockey again. Hopefully he can stay healthy now.

Landeskog being one of the first 6 is kind of surprising...but I guess if he's not healthy it allows you to name a replacement so no real risk.

Considering Backlund joined the recent Swedish world championship team for the first time in many years despite looking slightly injured for the last part of the regular season, that's a good sign he's motivated try and make the Olympic team next season. There's a reasonable chance he can make it as their fourth line center or 13th forward.

Landeskog being a lock hurts his chances though

Well, they can't qualify for the World Cup so they've got to get Giuseppe in somewhere.

If IIHF loosened the eligibility to something more akin to FIFA Italy could have a pretty decent squad.

Remember when Flames legend, Jason Muzzatti played for Italy in the 2006 games?

He set the standard of success that all subsequent goalies taken in the first round by the Flames have matched.
