Olympic 2018 Possible Rosters (25 man) if nhl players going

[Xokkeu]

Butcher is basically a Power play only guy he's got like 10 assists already just on the power play.

Buffalo is a mess but I still think Eichel is a dynamic center.

 

[HowDareYou]

would Pavelski and Brown really not make this US team?

Brown wouldn't and shouldn't.

[Habs100]

Really disappointing we won't get to see this team:

Seguin - Crosby - Stamkos

Tavares - McDavid - Benn

Hall - Sheifle - Monahan

Marchand - Bergeron - McKinnon

Brayden Schenn , Jayden Schwartz



Keith - Pietrangelo

Morgan Reilly - Doughty

Vlasic - Subban

Muzzin, Burns


Price + 2 of Holtby, Jones, Crawford


Other notables:
Couture, Bailey, Giroux, Couturier, Huberdeau, Stone, Gallagher, Mantha, Kane

 

[Jetsetter]

No that its seems certain that the NHL players are not going to the Olympics, who would have been on Team Canada if they were going?

 

[CalEh]

Great question.

I don't have the time to compile a list, but I look forward to seeing the responses.

All I know is that Canada would be a VERY heavy favorite.

 

[JT Kreider]

Centers: Crosby, McDavid, Stamkos, Seguin, Bergeron, Tavares, Scheifele, Toews (they'd have to move some guys around)

Wingers: Benn, Giroux, Marchand, Hall

Defense: Doughty, Keith, Pietrangelo, Burns, Subban, Letang, Weber

Goalies: Holtby and Price

I'm probably forgetting a few obvious ones

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Marchand - Crosby - Bergeron
Benn - McDavid - Seguin
Tavares - Stamkos - Scheifele
Hall - Giroux - Stone
Mackinnon
Monahan
yes no Toews

Keith - Doughty
Vlasic - Pietrangelo
Rielly - Subban
Burns
Giordano

Price
Holtby

 

[Helistin]

Obvious ones : Chris Kunitz

The rest not too sure about.

 

[BB88]

Marchand - Crosby - Bergeron
Benn - McDavid - Seguin
Tavares - Stamkos - Scheifele
Hall - Giroux - Stone
Mackinnon
Monahan
yes no Toews

Keith - Doughty
Vlasic - Pietrangelo
Rielly - Subban
Burns
Giordano

Price
Holtby

Would have loved to be able to watch a team like that play.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Marchand - Crosby - Bergeron
Benn - McDavid - Seguin
Tavares - Stamkos - Scheifele
Hall - Giroux - Stone
Mackinnon
Monahan
yes no Toews

Keith - Doughty
Vlasic - Pietrangelo
Rielly - Subban
Burns
Giordano

Price
Holtby

I doubt they'd leave Toews off. He's played really well in the past.

 

[JT Kreider]

USA would like:

Centers: Matthews, Trocheck, Johnson, Eichel, Miller

Wingers: Kane, Kessel, Gaudreau, Wheeler, Schwartz, Boeser, Palmieri, Oshie, Saad, JVR, Pavelski, Lee

Defense: McDonagh, Jones, Suter, Werenski, Slavin, Leddy, Carlson, Byfuglien

Goalies: Quick and Schneider

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Would have loved to be able to watch a team like that play.

yeah for sure. the big 5 would all have fantastic rosters.
USA: Matthews, Eichel, Gaudreau, Kane, Wheeler, Werenski
Sweden: Karlsson, Hedman, Backstrom, Forsberg, Nylander
Finland: Laine, Aho, Barkov, Rantanen, Teravainen, Maatta
Russia: Kucherov, Malkin, Ovechkin, Radulov, Kovalchuk

so many good cores and exciting talent. Canada has a nice depth advantage but this could have been such a fun and worthwhile Olympics

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

Brad Marchand - Sidney Crosby - Patrice Bergeron
Jamie Benn - Connor McDavid - Tyler Seguin
Taylor Hall - John Tavares - Steven Stamkos
Logan Couture - Jonathan Toews - Mark Stone
Mark Scheifele
Sean Monahan

Leaving out Getzlaf and Carter due to injuries and viable replacements. Tried to squeeze in Giroux and Mac but I figured they would rather a natural winger on every line (Stone).

Marc-Edouard Vlasic - Drew Doughty
Mark Giordano - Alex Pietrangelo
Duncan Keith - Shea Weber
PK Subban
Morgan Rielly?

Had to leave out Letang and Burns which is rough.

Carey Price
Braden Holtby
Matt Murray

It's a shame we can't watch a team like this play together in a couple months. Damn Greedy everybody.

Good god, what a wrecking crew of a team. I agree with this roster.
A third line of Tavares-stamkos-scheifele is just unfair

 

[JTmillerForA1stLOL]

It's unfortunate that this was probably the one time where we could see McDavid and Crosby on the same team while they were both still in their prime.

 

[JT Kreider]

USA (or any other country for that matter) would just get abused at the center position.

We are probably deeper on the wing, but the majority of Canada's wingers would be converted centers for the tourney anyway

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I doubt they'd leave Toews off. He's played really well in the past.

true, but he only has 20 points on the year and we have some ridiculous forwards who might do better. I think 2014 proved that even if we make a questionable roster choice or two (like Kunitz), we can still steamroll everyone

 

[Janne Niinimaa]

It's a shame we can't watch a team like this play together in a couple months. Damn Greedy everybody.

I agree. I'm genuinely mad about the NHL's decision.

Just off the top of my head so probably forgot someone.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

There are only two certanties: Toews makes the team without a second thought and hf complains about this all tournament.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Good god, what a wrecking crew of a team. I agree with this roster.
A third line of Tavares-stamkos-scheifele is just unfair

agree, it would honestly even put the 2014 roster to shame imo
the only surprising thing is how light we are on the left defensive side
