I know he's a former Pred, but interesting that Dan Hamhuis made a deep Team Canada, word is that it was Dan Boyle they chose Hamhuis over.

Dan Hamhuis is a very good defender though. Overall, team Canada looks really stacked this year. Finland probably has the best goalies arsenal of the whole tournament. Russia looks good too but I think they will disappoint the home crowd during these Olympics. US team looks fairly good as well. Sweden looks good, though I don't know if Lundqvist will be up to the task. These Olympics are going to be wild.

They wanted 4 RHD & 4 LHD from what I've gathered today.

Russian Pred, I think it's going to be
G: Finland
S: Sweden
B: Russia

I have a lot of questions about the players chosen for Team Canada, but I think Hamhuis was a good one. Still, what does it have to do with this thread?

The exact mirror of the Juniors? My guess is Finland, Canada, Sweden. (unless I'm off on the groupings)
