[MMC]

Nolan Patrick has a great start to his rookie season and makes the team

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Canada has to step up producing left shot defensemen.

They went from
Niedermayer
Pronger
Keith

In 2010

Keith
Bouwmeester
Vlasic
Hamhuis
In 2014

and by 2018

They'll be down to only Keith who's really super elite and. The others are pretty average by previous standards. They don't got much prospects coming up either, I suppose Rielly has potential. Lots of righty's though. Think the Golden Generation of defensemen is done for now. Where's the next Niedermayer and Pronger?!

I was just about to post something to that effect from another site.

but yes, the era of NHL Olympics looks to be officially over.

We'll have to scan 4th line AHLers, CIS or NCAA and possibly even senior leagues to come up with projected rosters.

for my 1st line LW I'll take Buddy Hammelthorp from the Flin Flon Beavers. I hear he has a backhander that is Crosby-esque.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

According to Fasel, the additional cost could be about $10 million. So it shouldn't be that difficult for the IIHF and the various hockey federations to absorb.

What is this in reference to? I don't see any news articles.

Why would they want to though? Is the IOC going to let them see some of the revenue?

I'd think the individual federations would certainly see more revenue if they had NHL players in the tournaments. I don't mean from the IOC...but from sponsorship and other revenue opportunities.

On a separate note, has anyone seen anything (I guess, media-wise) re how much the IOC benefits from NHL players being there. I'm sure for that particular event, it's better - but I'm wondering how impacts the bottom line.

 

[DontPanik]

Team Canada at the 2018 Olympics?

What do you think Team Canada will look like at the 2018 Olympics. If NHL players are even allowed to go.

My Predictions:

Line 1: Tavares, Crosby, Stamkos
Line 2: Benn, Seguin, Giroux
Line 3: Perry, Toews, Getzlaf
Line 4: McDavid, Bergeron, Johansen

Extra Forwards: Hall, Carter.

Defence 1: Pietrangelo, Doughty
Defence 2: Letang, Subban
Defence 3: Burns, Weber

Extra Defence: Reilly, Ekblad.

Goalies: Holtby, Price, Crawford. HM: Elliott

Captain: Crosby
Alternate: Doughty
Alternate: Getzlaf

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

Looks pretty good. Toews obviously gets an A though.

 

[tarheelhockey]

The top-6 looks about right, but I'd expect to see McDavid in a top-6 role by that time. I would be a little surprised if Getzlaf was still at a Team Canada level, and Hall could pass Perry by then.

 

[Leafs87]

Canada takes 6 right handed d? Not a chance. Vlasic, Keith and someone else will be in. Subban didn't make the team last time because he was a righty

 

[Rals]

Perry & Getz Carter shouldn't be on team Canada in 2 years.

(To a lesser extent) Giroux & RyJo won't make cut either.

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

Giroux & RyJo won't make cut either.

Giroux definitely will.

I think Perry is on the team at least. We'll see where Getzlaf is at.

 

[b1e9a8r5s]

Where the hell is Keith?

 

[Rals]

Giroux definitely will.

I think Perry is on the team at least. We'll see where Getzlaf is at.

Perry's had one Phenomenal season and is in decline. His name recognition will have run its course by then.


Monahan will make team Canada.

 

[ESH]

I can guarantee you Canada won't be taking 7 right-shooting defensemen.

 

[Rals]

Call me crazy, but this is one of the reasons I think Karl Alzner might get some love as the final D.

L shot, and about as good defensively as you can get.

 

[Burke the Legend]

Team Canada 2018 Olympic team will be the team Canada 2018 Spengler Cup team.
