Is this confirmed somewhere? A link or source would be nice.

Kane is going to be the captain for the Americans too. The last time he played in the World Championships was after his rookie year in 2008 (the only other time in his career that he missed the playoffs).

Team Canada for the first 18 is looking pretty decent outside of 1 goalie. Nurse made the team.

McDavid
Barzal

O'Rielly

all of these guys would have consideration as players for an Olympic tryout at least.

Easy, put Barzal and Schenn or Horvat on the wing:

Barzal - McDavid - Schwartz
???? - Monahan
???? - Schenn
RNH - O'Reilly - Horvat

sprinkle in the other wingers to taste
