We are a year and a bit out from this tournament, and we will know who is on this team, this time next year.
There are various spots where I have seen predictions for Team Canada 2026 -- but there doesn't appear to be a dedicated thread.
4 Nations should be a good testing ground for some of the bubble players that they selected. I for one am hoping that Bedard and Celebrini play their way onto the Olympic squad.
Here is my prediction/hope at this time.
Crosby (C) - McDavid (A) - Bedard -- Pass the torch line. We deserve to see this.
Celebrini - MacKinnon (A)- Marner -- Disgusting amount of speed and skill.
Barzal - Point - Reinhart -- Again....Speed can kill and Reinhart can finish. Three killer lines.
Suzuki - Schiefele - Stone -- Defensive unit with a little bit of scoring prowess.
Konecny
Toews - Makar -- Keep the Avs two together.
Morrissey - Pietrangelo (A) -- Solid shut down pair with offensive capabilities and great breakout pass.
Theodore - Parayko -- another solid pair.
Bouchard -- Can be brought into lineup for booming shot and PP speciality.
Binnington
Hill
Montembault
This is a winning team and a team I can get behind. Much better than the dogs breakfast 4 Nation tournament
