Just for fun. If we could combine our most recent Gold teams, here’s what I’d roll out (based on nothing more than how much I enjoyed their play during their WJC). Mixed the lines cuz it amused me.

Gaudreau- Keller-D’Amigo
Galchenyuk- Schroeder- Terry
Greenway- Stepan- Hartman
Pietila- Barber- Grimaldi
Bracco

Trouba-Carlson
Fowler- McAvoy
S Jones - C Jones
Lindgren

Gibson
Parsons
Campbell

Pretty well done list. It is tricky whether to go for highest draft picks like you kind of did it or established players. Juho Lammikko has played almost all games for Florida this season and Hintz is quite legit too and close to a regular. Same goes for Mäenalanen.

J.Honka & Niku > Juolevi

Way too many to choose from really. I can imagine the headache for Canadians when they are choosing their Olympic teams.

Lol. List is strictly based on guys I liked....not necessarily who would make best team. Rocco has no spot on a WJC all star team, for example, but you had to love him.
