Team Canada's mens team

[namttebih]

Every time the Olympics rolls around Team Canada uses a lot of centers on the wing because of the strength down the middle. I compiled the following team using only wingers on their appropriate wings. I know everyone doesn’t buy into it but I’m a believer in chemistry so I’ve used teammates whenever possible. The italics are who I think would be a bubble player for the actual team. They are based on projected skill a year from now in time for the Sochi Olympics.

Hartnell Giroux Perry
E. Staal Crosby Neal
Hall Stamkos Eberle
Nash Toews Seguin

Here are the bubble and or lock centers that were left off of the team
Getzlaf
Bergeron
M. Richards (lock)
Taveres (lock)

Here are the wingers that were left off of my team. Some were because of age, some because of the game that they play not translating to the big ice, others just because I preferred to keep linemates together opposed to BPA.
Lucic
Skinner
Sharp
Clowe
E. Kane
Marleau 34
Iginla 36
St. Louis 38
Tear away!
Hey mods, I'm not sure where to put this so if you want to move it feel free.

There are topics on the 'NHL talk' board about men's Olympics teams. Take a look over there. This doesn't relate to Toronto or any of our teams.
