Pretty sure Chychrun playing for Canada at the U18's locked him in for Canada internationally.

Yes, Chychrun is locked in due to that tournament because it was an IIHF event. He could switch, like anyone could, but it is a process and presumably someone would have reported on it at some point.

This isn't my take on the actual lines/pairings I'd like to see as just a list of who I think will be there relatively depth-wise:
Hyman-McDavid-Marner
Crosby-Mackinnon-Reinhart
Bennett-Thomas-Point
Celebrini-Cirelli-Hagel
Also possible : Bedard, Johnston, Suzuki, Jarvis
Toews-Makar
Morrissey-Pietrangelo
Theodore-Doughty
Sandheim
I see less flexibility here, so barring injury I think only the top 6 are locks.
Notes: With Cooper coaching I expect his TB players will be back. As of today a bit more confident Celebrini makes the starting 12 than Bedard, but I think both will be there. Suzuki to keep La Belle Province happy, if not on merit.
And a reminder to my fellow Canadians that even though it's a long way off please do try to keep in mind when Canada gets off to a sluggish start at the Olympics: They ALWAYS get off to a sluggish start at international tournaments but get better as it goes on.
As long as they qualify for the second round they'll almost certainly be there in the final and will have a very good shot to bring home gold again.
