No doubt a tremendous long-shot to make the team, but still nice to see him invited/recognized.
Said it before I could. Glad to see him on that list.

That'll happen when you go four years without playing a full season.
NOVEMBER? FUCK!!! Looks good.
And the roster looks okay, chemistry idea makes sense I guess.
Also Phaneuf! Maybe people on hfboards will stop severely undervaluing him now.... (nah)
He made amends with Subban.

Patrick Sharp better make Team Canada this year. He is a very good two way player and with a good team of play makers around him he can score easily.
I'm happy to see Ladd got invited. May not make the team, but that is pretty awesome. Crazy good group of players, overall.
I'd like to see the goalies be Crawford, Luongo and Smith.

Can Ward is always a default pick for Team Canada.

COME ON HAMONIC!!!
Eh? Who else is going to stage the comeback and tie the game if we're ever trailing by 2 or 3 goals with a couple minutes left?
Also:
Fleury is horrible and Ward is mediocre. I could not care less who the 3rd goalie is. Although I'm surprised they invited Holtby over Dubnyk and Reimer.
It's a solid invite list. Also, Patrice Bergeron deservedly made the 2010 team despite not being invited to the camp...
USA summer camp roster.
http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=678655&navid=DL|NHL|home
alot of players that havent even played in the league got invited.
Trouba, Jones, Gibson.
A lot of young players in there without much pro experience.

They're probably just grooming them for the future by letting them hang out with the pros during camp.
It'd be hilarious if they actually put them on the team; would seriously piss off the pros who didn't make the team.
It's really strong. I'm KIND OF surprised Gibson got called up. Would love to see him make the team though I highly doubt it.

Yzerman better pick St. Louis for Team Canada. Marty was supposedly pretty pissed about being passed over last time.

I can see him on a line with Stamkos.
US seems a bit weaker in terms of forwards and defense but their goaltending is top-tier.

Yay!
Not a bad price considering how hes played. Hoping they don't force him into a top pairing role again, he should be on the 2nd pairing :/
Franson would get more than that, no? Can the Leafs afford both him and Kadri?

A little surprised to see Tarasenko, but excited to see how he does.
Kovalchuk is going to recruit all of those NHL players!
Unless we move salary no
Franson is gone, Rielly fills the role in a year or two.
I predict we would sign Kadri and Fraser
Dopey pls Kadri, Franson, Fraser left, one has to go and Franson would net greatest return and we would never move Kadri unless overpaid.

My justification for these choices are mostly based on built-in chemistry certain players have, redundancies in certain roles, and their history playing for Team Canada.
For example. I put Letang out as a wildcard due to his iffy defensive play. He'd be a great PP specialist, but with Doughty, Keith and Pietrangelo capable of filling that role, it makes more sense to bring in a more defensively minded player like Hamhuis, who plays on the left and has previous chemistry with Weber.

My top six D would be
Keith-Doughty
Hamhuis-Weber
Bouwmeester-Pietrangelo
Subban
Seabrook
Everyone plays their proper side and all the pairings have some form of chemistry with each other.
Subban can draw in as a PP specialist and Seabrook can draw in as a shutdown specialist.

I was right on who would be on the Olympic teams, except I didn't expect Duchene to get an invite. He probably won't make the team though, unless he plays wing.
Freyjadour
Member
I'm not versed enough in the KHL to say, but he's had a KHL coach and the Blues mention that his conditioning isn't matching his skillset. The KHL guy wasn't as nice about it either. Didn't use the word lazy, but wasn't far off of that.
Duchene clinched his invite during the WHCs. 2nd in goals, 3rd in TOI among forwards. Best forward excluding the top line.
So he's Russian.
Racist.

So will Team Sweden consist of pretty much the Wings roster plus the Sedins and Lundqvist?
But Franchise Defensemen and next Lidstrom, Danny Deykeyser is on that list, AH YEAH!!!!
I think they filled their Alex quota.

I think they filled their Alex quota.
Also Alex Edler, Hjalmarsson and "wait, they're Swedish too?" Oduya&Kruger I'd guess.
So yeah, Detroit, Canucks, Hawks and Lundqvist
God I hope AGally makes it.
