Hi All,

With the announcement today of the GMs being announced for Team Canada (Armstrong, Holland, Sweeney, Luongo) it has me thinking about potential rosters for the 2022 Olympics.

Thoughts on who makes each team and some roster projections?

Mods feel free to move if this exists already.

Canada’s defense/goaltending ain’t what it used to be. But the forward group is unparalleled.

What won Canada gold medals in 2010 and 2014 was having the big-3 of Keith, Weber, and Doughty. I agree that you bring back Doughty and Weber to provide leadership, like Pronger and Niedermayer in Vancouver 2010.

Goalies will be Price, Hart, and whomever is playing the best next season.

Forwards will be deep for Canada. I wouldn't mind seeing a puck thief and cerebral player in Stone playing with McDavid.

Personally I want nothing to do with Marner and Tavares. Both soft as baby shit.

Crosby, McDavid, ROR and Couturier down the middle would be sweet.

ROR and Couturier over Tavares/Stamkos and
Barzal over Hall and Marner for me

It will be interesting to see if they consider bringing Nuge to play with McDavid. They have great chemistry together, second only to McDrai, and Nuge's point totals over the last few seasons are pretty good. He plays well defensively and in all situations. Canada has so many amazing players to bring though, I don't see it happening.

I also think it will be interesting to see if they play MacKinnon with Crosby or McDavid. Do you go with friendship (and presumed chemistry since they know each other so well) or load up the speed. I would like to see a line of Barzal, McDavid and MacKinnon.

What does Nurse need to do to get noticed for the team? The projected Dmen dont look much better than Nurse and if he polishes up his brain farts and maybe some McEndosment and he could make it.

Nuge has slim to none chance and could get noticed for his PK and defensive game.

Hall should be an option as well esp if there is McEndorsment.
