Apparently NHL is willing to allow players Italian descent to represent Italy in the 2026 Olympics, let's make rosters for other countries

I am not confused. The NHL does not control nationality of its players who can and can not play. The IIHF does.

A dual citizen that hasn't represented another team needs 480 days in the new country, one that has needs 1460 days. Switching twice isn't possible.

Barrasso in net?

If they make Italy competitive from a bunch of dudes that can’t speak a word of Italian, that’s pathetic.

Have you ever seen or heard an Italian-American say at least one word correctly in Italian? I still don't. Gabagol.

What would team Norway look like?

Anders Lee-Nick Bjugstad-Mats Zuccarello
Michael Brandsegg-Nygård-Jackson Blake

Brady Skjei-Will Borgen
Emil Lilleberg-Tyler Kleven
Stian Solberg
Yikes not good at all.

So Switzerland should be able to get Joey Daccord who is actually Swiss and agreed to play for Switzerland before but couldn't because he made all his classes in NA
