Bergeron, yes. Seguin, possibly. Lucic, no chance. I don't get why people are trying to incorporate Lucic. He's a damn good player and is excellent in the NHL, but isn't the type of player we need on team Canada, let alone playing on international ice.
Lucic isn't making the team. I don't think Seguin will either.

Seguin is 5th so far this year in terms of Canadien scoring..?

1. We are Canadians not Canadien.
2. There's no chance in hell Tyler Seguin makes the team. A hot start isn't nearly enough for Steve Yzerman and company to forget Seguin's weak defensive game, inconsistency, and most recent 1G-8pts in 22GP playoff run with the Boston Bruins last spring..
Jason Spezza wasn't even invited to camp, and he's pretty much a better more proven Seguin. Go look at his resume, he's the captain of the Ottawa Senators, consistent PPG player (over PPG regular season pace over 600GP+) and a big time player in the playoffs going near-PPG over 50gp+.

Seguin has never been weak defensively.
Well I'm Amerikan; Lucic has 8 goals and 15 points and was mentioned to be a possibility to participate in the Olympics before the season even started so the idea of this line came to mind.

Tied for 4th actually.
I don't see why Seguin has no chance in hell. He's a fast player with a laser shot, which is mostly what Canada is losing in Stamkos. I think he's definitely earned himself a spot as a 13th/14th forward, and he should get a long look at playing in that top-six. I'd rather have him than Kunitz.

Maybe "no chance in hell" was a little harsh.. But that's 14 players vying for 6-7 open spots. You tell me who gets left off.
