Rick Nash
Stephen Weiss
Matt Foy
Corey Locke
and
Eric Staal

Canada often prefers to bring a more experienced team, and so 17 year olds in their draft years simply don't get much consideration.

Corey Locke wasn't invited to the December selection camp because he can't skate, and his "nose for the net" isn't exactly what it was last season.
