The OP did like the USA 3rd team haha. Based on talent and existing chemistry I'd have a Werenski and Jones pair, a Slavin and Pesce pair, and then have the final few guys of Trouba, McAvoy, Hannifan, McD, Ghost, Carlson, and a couple other battle it out. USA has by far the best defensive players in the world. Then a top 6 of Eichle, Mathews, Kane, Wheeler, Johny hockey and Kessel would put up 6 goals a game. Side note how does everyone always forget Schnieder is an American goalie the guy is a beast when he has a D playing for him although Helly and Gibson would both be great.
