I will be surprised if any of LeCavalier, Richards, or St. Louis agree to go as well. I also doubt Boyle going too. I think Phaneuf will agree to go, and I will be very surprised if he does not.
Finland beat Canada today 4-2 (2-1,0-0,2-1). It was a last game for both teams before WC.

what an ugly roster.
Did Jordan Staal not join the team yet?

You can say that again! There's no way we're gonna win this tournament with such a roster.what an ugly roster.
I like some of them though, Eric Staal, Nash, Toews and Brewer.Lines:

Same problem with pretty much every other team. Lots of injuries, lots of no shows. So Canada still has a decent chance.
Seems like Andy Murray's been having problems getting players to sign up: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=7125
So I guess Canada's defense is set then?
Hamhuis - Weber
Jackman - Brewer
Schultz - Commodore
Murphy
Looks pretty solid.

I only know Rick Nash wont be invited. Other then that anything could happen. It depends who is available.
Yeah predicting Rick Nash to be on the next Olympic and World Cup is really reality when he is an offense-only player who has still yet to crack 60 points for a season in the NHL. ROTFL!
As for this World Championships team Nash is no lock. He is in the early pool of players who has been invited and accepted, that is all. If Smyth and Gagne agree to go they are the first and second line left wingers. Nash is not effective on a bottom pairing and there are many other candidates for the 3rd and 4th line left wingers, so he could easily end up being left off.

I think the forward lines will look like this.
