very interesting lines but the only thing I would mention is Gretzky has already said players will not play out of position. So that changes a whole bunch of your lines (ie Gagne is a LW, Thornton is a C plus lots of other positions).

Not a chance Sakic & Iginla were really good last time. The top line will be Gagne, Sakic and Iginla of course if they don't produce that will change.

Who cares who's on the top line? All of our lines can be the first line, unless if we have a checking line.

My 2006 TEAM CANADA

1. Gagne Sakic Iginla (solid tre-o, from previous olympics)
2. Richards Lecavalier St.Louis (the "Bay" connection)
3. Smyth Thornton Heatley (could be the line of the tourny)
4. Draper Peca Doan (ultimate checking line)

Extra: Spezza (power play specialist)

Pronger Niedermayer
Foote Blake
Redden Regher

Extra: Jovanovski

Brodeur
Luongo
Turco

I would like to add Nash in there, but he has been out all year!!!! However, if Nash was selected, he would slide in for Smyth, and Smyth would be bumped down to take Draper/Peca spot. What do you think? By no means should Crosby be on this team, wait another 4 years (he's 18yrs old).....along with Staal. Remember when Thornton got burned last olympics cause it was a numbers game. Them the breaks I guess.

GO CANADA GO!!!!
