We will have a strong team, MacKinnon is already turning into a dominant player. I think Mcdavid will be there as well.

Pretty spot on what a guess!

Etem and Gibson are both projected for 2018 from NESN and Yardbark, and with the latest projections the past few days. You should play fantasy hockey :laugh:

I think Team Canada is going to be largely the same group that we have today. Almost all of the players on todays team are going to still be in their prime and they already know the system and have proven they will buy in... no doubt Babcock is brought back as the coach.

Too many people are throwing names in there that will likely still not know the defensive side of the game well enough.

And there have been people throwing their team up without Stamkos?!?!?!

Tavares - Crosby - Stamkos
Benn - Getzlaf - Perry
Neal - Bergeron - Giroux
Nash - Toews - Duchene
Mackinnon - Hall

Weber - Doughty
Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo
Staal - Subban
Vlasic

Price
Bernier
Holtby
 
JVR-Galchenyuk-Kessel
Pacioretty-Eichel-Kane
Parise-Kesler-Pavelski
Kreider-Stepan-Ryan
Saad-Bjugstad

McDonagh-Faulk
Jones-Trouba
Suter-Fowler
Shattenkirk-Carlson

Quick
Gibson
Schneider
 
Four years into the future.....so much can change, if anyone nails down a roster then they should bump this thread.

Tavares-Crosby-Stamkos
MacKinnon-Toews-Seguin
Benn-Getzlaf-Perry
Duchene-Bergeron-Giroux
Nugent-Hopkins, Hall

I think the defense stays almost exactly the same, maybe someone supplants Bouwmeester or Vlasic, but I can't picture any challengers on the left side due to Canada's continual lack of elite players there.

Price
Luongo
Bernier
 
Posted this in another thread. Some potential new faces for Canada:

Taylor Hall
Tyler Seguin
Claude Giroux
Logan Couture
Jordan Eberle
Ryan O'Reilly
Jeff Skinner
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Evander Kane
Nazem Kadri
Mark Scheifele
Sean Couturier
Jonathan Huberdeau
Nathan MacKinnon
Jonathan Drouin

Kris Letang
Travis Hamonic
Jason Demers
Tyler Myers
Eric Gelinas
Chris Tanev
Justin Schultz
Ryan Murray
Morgan Rielly
Aaron Ekblad

Jonathan Bernier
Corey Crawford
James Reimer
Ben Scrivens
Braden Holtby

But realistically, most of the 2014 team will stay together.

I am excited to see both US' and Canada's rosters, TC will be having Crosby and McDavid together - :amazed: - in what could be the best team in the last 20-30 years, and the US will, in my opinion, start the transition with the young generation of players like Matthews, Eichel, etc. It will be very strong team too.

As of now, my Team Canada would be:

Marchand - Crosby - Bergeron
Tavares - McDavid - Stamkos
Benn - Toews - Seguin
O'Reilly - Getzlaf - Carter
Scheifele
Hall/MacKinnon/Duchene/Giroux/Perry/Stone/Simmonds/Marner pick one.

D
Keith, Vlasic + one or two of (Rielly, Muzzin, Murray, Brodie, Giordano) tough to pick
Doughty, Weber + one or two of (Letang, Pietrangelo, Burns, Subban, Ekblad) tough as hell to pick

Price, Holtby, Murray (Dubnyk, Jones, Fleury, Luongo, Crawford) - who ever said canada's goaltending was bad? Haha. I remember in 2014, "before Price", it was supposed to be a "weakness" lol. Now look.


For the US, I would have:

Gaudreau - Matthews - Kane
Pacioretty - Pavelski - Eichel
JVR - Kesler - Backes
Saad - Stepan/T.Johsnon - Kessel
Okposo/Oshie/Trocheck/Bjugstad
