Poll Request: Will a Flame be on team Canada's next Olympic roster

[CalgaryFan1988]

I don't think so. The only real chances right now are Reschny and Parekh. Everyone else will be aged out by 2030.

I don't see it, maybe a 36 year old Weegar, if he's still here, and he finds his inner Gio and wins a Norris.

I could see Wolf, and Wyttenbach making the American team, Gridin and Kuznetsov playing for Russia, and Honzek and Pospi representing Slovakia.

I think 2034 is more likely to see some Flames in the Olympics.

Wytter and Wolf for USA?

Bedard was in his 3rd NHL season and at the top of the NHL scoring list when injured.

And he didn't make the team.

Only Celibrini made the team as a young player.

Unless Canada drastically changes its selection process, it seems really unlikely Calgary's future draft picks will be considered by 2030 even if successful.

Edit: And Schaefer didn't make it. Query whether the selection committee learned a lesson for next time. These players may have made a difference.

[McG]

Yes. DuPont, McKenna and Parekh all make it.

She's from Calgary and still teaches and lives there.

I think team Canada likely realizes that was a mistake. Too many old role players on the team. The team needed more young guys with skill and energy who would finish a play.
