Would Zetterberg make team Canada?

[New User Name]

Let's put it this way, I wish he was Canadian.

 

[Yamaguchi*]

I would like to see him in goal for Canada

 

[smitty10]

100% yes. Chris Kunitz made Team Canada.

 

[tony d]

Probably. In the bottom 6 though.

 

[Stoat]

Hell, he would even make Team Finland

No he wouldn't. We don't want any swedes bashing in our gold medal parties.

He would certainly make it over Benn, Carter, Nash and Bergeron. But I wouldn't have had those 4 on my team anyway...

 

[CanadienShark]

Over Kunitz, Nash, Carter and Benn, I'd think. A few others are iffy.

 

[CanadienShark]

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.

Patrick Marleau is pretty debatable. You did neglect to mention Kunitz though.

Easily. Unless of course Canada doesn't like 2-way stars that can play center or wing, PP and PK, and tend to take their game to another level the bigger the stage gets.

 

[bumperkisser]

i'd love zetterberg on the canadian team haha. if he was canadian

and ya i think he would.

 

[Yamaguchi*]

I guess Mr Gretzky has called Zetterberg "the greatest Swedish player"....

 

[Trap Jesus]

He's bar none the best two-way winger in the league (when he plays wing, that is). There is always room for a guy like that on any roster.

 

[Taak19]

No doubt.

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.

I would personally take Marleau over Z without thinking twice, but it's obviously very close. similar players but Patty is bigger and still has game breaking speed.

Obviously they'd make room for him.I'd be cutting Nash,Duchene, Kunitz before the other 2 for the roster they've assembled, Benn and Carter were very good picks.
Zetterberg-Crosby-Carter would be such a ridiculously good line.

 

[MastuhNinks]

Absolutely.

At the very least he would replace Bergeron as the team's premier 2-way forward not named Toews.

 

[SoupNazi]

Absolutely.

 

[DanZ]

Arguably the best shutdown center and big game player there is. They would be stupid not to take him.

I guess Mr Gretzky has called Zetterberg "the greatest Swedish player"....

He also said he's his favorite player in the league and that he's the best player in the league in his age group.

Marleau is faster.. but that is pretty much the only thing he has on Z..

Zetterberg is..
Better offensively
Better defensively
More versatile
Proven winner and clutch come crunchtime.
That combined with experience on big ice really makes it a no brainer really..

 

[Captain Catatomic]

No way he makes team Canada. Look who Canada left off. They have a mold.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I say yes.

He is an upgraded version of Bergeron, in my opinion.

 

[Wintersun]

I take Z on Team Canada any day of the week.
