Canada is going to have centre depth of Crosby/McDavid/MacKinnon and they put the Chinese team in our division. That could be a messy game.

Crosby, MacKinnon, McDavid, Bergeron

Toews might not make it

Barzal, Scheifele, Tavares, and everybody else, will have to try and grab a spot on the wing

(throwing McDavid on Crosby's wing is also a possibility)

Two forwards made the World Cup team who weren’t natural centres - Perry and Marchand.

In 2014, it was just Perry (and maybe Benn).

We’re too deep for more than a couple natural wingers.

You mean the phony title of TSN's Director of Scouting doesn't hold the cache the network tries so hard to sell?

Team Canada's middle is going to be:

McDavid
MacKinnon
Crosby
Monahan

With Mangiapane on Monahan's wing.


(I have a dream...)

TC loves to keep linemates together where possible, so it'll be Huberdeau-Bennett on the 4th line.

Seriously though, I don't think you mess with Crosby and the Bruins line. Unusually I think there may be more RHS forwards.

Marchand-Crosby-Bergeron
McDavid-MacKinnon-Stone

This isn't necessarily what I'd do, but chasing existing combos makes sense in a short tourney.

Point-Stamkos
Benn-Seguin
Couturier-Giroux
Perron-ROR
Tavares-Marner


Likely a few of the above pairs and maybe Barzal, Scheifele.

LHS D is a bit thin, but there are some decent pairings with familiarity:


Theodore-Pietrangelo
Toews-Makar
Muzzin-Doughty
Pelech-Pulock

I thought that JFresh's fan vote rosters were closer:
USA
Canada

EDIT: oops, didn't see it was a bump!

Hopefully Price is on top of his game. Binington has been struggling and Hart is a joke

Button makes you appreciate Treliving…not an easy task

Will be so weird to see Tkachuk and Gaudreau play for the enemy.

McDavid team Canada? Gross.

Awkward tourney for sure.

I honestly might cheer for the upset if Tkachuk and Gaudreau have big roles

I’m with you on that. I also just can’t bring myself to cheer for McDavid in any way.
