I will be shocked if Yzerman doesn't make the team. And you can bet that he will decide to play if he does get selected, unless he is injured. He seems to the the type who would decide to play, rather than insult Gretaky by turning down a spot.
I will also be shocked if a checking line centre isn't taken. Do I necessarily agree with this? No. But Gretzky and Co. seem to always like to have a checking line on their Team Canada, and I think this year will be no different. Thus, expect one of Draper, Peca, or Primeau to find their way onto this team.
Saying all of this, the team if picked now, would probably include:
Lemieux
Sakic
Iginla
Thornton
Richards
Lecavalier
St.Louis
Spezza
Heatley
Bertuzzi
Yzerman
Gagne
Draper
Honourable Mentions: Staal, Smyth, and Doan (these three guys will be hard for Gretzky to leave off; Staal because of his offensive achievements, and Smyth/Doan because of their grit and experience).
Pronger
Blake
Niedermayer
Foote
Redden
Jovanovski
Regehr
Honourable Mentions: McCabe, and Brewer (these two guys will be hard for Gretzky to leave off; McCabe because he should probably be on the team, and Brewer because he has experience).
Brodeur
Luongo
Turco
Honourable Mentions: Theodore, Belfour, and Legace
PLEASE NOTE: This is only who I think will end up on the team, not who I think should end up on the team.
