If your country needed to name 8 player right now for a 2020 World Cup who would they be? Assume the rest could be named in the summer.
Carlson?In no particular order
Eichel
Matthews
Kane
M Tkachuk
Larkin
Jones
Gibson
I’ll only name 7. I think those guys are not debatable names to leave off the Olympic team. The others you could argue for one way or the other.
Carlson?
McDavid
Mackinnon
Crosby
Doughty
Bergeron
Price
Weber
Marchand
A couple more strong drafts and Germany might be getting invites... Program is on the rise. 2 NHL goalies can do a lot!Not that Germany would be invited for a World Cup, but just for fun it would probably be something like this:
1. Draisaitl
2. Grubauer
3. Greiss
4. Kahun
5. Seider
6. Rieder
7. Holzer
8. Kühnhackl
Panarin??Ovechkin
Kucherov
Kuznetsov
Malkin
Provorov
Tarasenko
Vasilevsky
Orlov
Panarin??

Krejci
Hertl

Kempny
Francouz

I am not an American but I think Carlson would be a lock. Just added to your 8 and its great lolI don’t see him as a lock. I named seven players. It doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be on the team or that he’s not better than some listed there, but those are the seven I think are locks.
Barkov
Rantanen
Aho
Laine
Teräväinen
Heiskanen
Rask
Ristolainen
