Given the extremely good Canadian roster, would Henrik Zetterberg make the Olympic team, had he been Canadian?

Yep. Would have definitely made it over Jamie Benn, Jeff Carter, and Patrick Marleau; and would have probably made it over most of the team.

 

[NutCracker]

I would say yes, 3rd/4th line

 

[Pizza the Hutt]

and would have probably made it over most of the team.

Aside from the defence, goalies, and top line.

 

[Statsy]

Is this question going to be brought up about every star player on every other country? Zetterberg is one of the league's best and would be a top player in any country's lineup.

Over a lot of canadian olympians actually. His european game is also important on the big rink and even leaving this aside he's one of the top players in the world, maybe the best swedish forward right now.

 

[LEAFSIN4]

100%.

When it comes to big games, every coach in the world would have Zetterberg in their lineup.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

Mos def, espically if Babcock is coach as he knows how valuable and what Z brings.

 

[JackSlater]

Absolutely. Zetterberg is a great player, and Canada's biggest "weakness" is two way wingers. Add in the Babcock is the coach, while Holland is one of the managers, and he would be an absolute lock.

 

[Ilves Tampere]

Definitely yes!

 

[No1Joker]

Hell, he would even make Team Finland

 

[Jonimaus]

Hell, he would even make Team Finland

Whoa, slow down there.

 

[Sonic Disturbance]

As a Canadian, yes, easily. Can play center or wing, good faceoff man, great defensively, good leadership, coach familiarity and is capable of playing in a top-6 or bottom-6 role. He is also capable of spelling the word "intense".

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

They'd probably make him captain too.

 

[source]

He might make Team World.

 

[nbwingsfan]

yep.

 

[MildlyAwesome]

As a two way winger who is accustomed to play wing, on the 3rd/4th line for sure.

 

[SnapVirus]

He might make Team World.

Team Canada is Team World.


Minus Rick Nash.

 

[Fred Taylor]

Yes I believe he would.

 

[MonaHan Solo]

No doubt.

 

[Big Phil]

Well they cut Martin St. Louis..................but on MY team Canada I certainly think Zetterberg is on the team. You find room for a guy like that. Possibly the best playoff performer in the last 10 years.

 

[jgoud*]

Well you never know based on who's picking TC. I would want Giroux there before Zetterberg, but then I would want both of them there before Nash and Marleau.

 

[WingsMike]

Of course he'd make Team Canada. He might be good enough for their 1st line...

 

[Kronwalled55]

Great puck possession, defense, and always shows up for big games. No doubt about it.

 

[tinyzombies]

One of the smartest players ever - yes.
