Just wanting to know what people think Canada's roster might look like at the Worlds this year. It is getting close to the end of the regular season so we are getting a better picture of which players will be available for the team. Give a list of 2-3 goalies, 6-8 defense and 12-15 forwards please. What about rookies, does anyone think that any of them will have a chance to play such as Staal, Horton, Fleury, Bergeron, Hunter? If so include them in your list and an explanation of why or why you don't think that they will get invited. My list as of how the standings are right now is as follows:
Goalies
Roberto Luongo
Marc Denis
Chris Osgood (If Not In Playoffs)
Jocelyn Thibault(If Healthy)
Defense
Derek Morris
Steve Staios
Eric Brewer
Jason Smith
Nathan Dempsey (If Not In Playoffs)
Rick Jackman
Jay Bouwmeester
Chris Pronger (If Not In Playoffs)
Al MacInnis (If Healthy) (If Not In Playoffs)
Barret Jackman (If Healthy) (If Not In Playoffs)
Forward
Ryan Smyth (LW)
Luc Robitaille (LW) (If Not In Playoffs)
Rick Nash (LW)
Kyle Calder (LW)
Shane Doan (RW)
Alexandre Daigle (RW)
Nathan Horton (RW)
JP Dumont (RW)
Danny Heatley (RW)
Marc Savard (C)
Daniel Briere (C)
Mark Messier (C)
Patrice Bergeron (C)
Anson Carter (C) (If Not In Playoffs)
Eric Lindros (C) (If Healthy)
I think that some rookies will be invited to play, Horton is the only one that made my list because he is just coming off an injury so he will be a little fresher, he is one of the more physical rookies which is usually an attribute that Canada looks at. I do think that Trent Hunter, or Eric Staal could all be on the team too, but Staal plays center which is a very tough position to crack and Hunter is in the playoffs as of right now.
