Team Canada Défense

[Mathieukferland]

For me at least
Right side: Makar, Pietrangelo, Weber, Hamilton

Left Side: Theodore, Chabot, Ekblad (yes I know he’s right handed but I have seen him play on the left side before)

Missed out: Reilly, Girard, Ellis, Nurse, Létang

Sleepers: Parayko, Chychrun, Byram, Smith, Spurgeon

Not as strong as some of our past Olympic teams IMO.

I think nothing will top 2010 when there were 5 future hall-of-famers in the group. But I have become more optimistic with Makar, Theodore, and Ekblad’s progression over the past 18 months

Your list looks to be pretty spot-on to me.
But I wouldn't count out Drew Doughty just yet. I still think he has a lot to prove.

i think you have to include Ellis and Spurgeon. theres SO many righties on this team but thats ok, i dont have a problem playing righties on the left side.

the 6 guys id probably play are in no order spurgeon ellis hamilton pietrangelo ekblad and makar. theodore letang and parayko should all be in consideration too though.

The defence is hard. The only two Dmen I think that are for sure on the team are Rielly for the left side and Pietrangelo for the right side.
