With Lundqvist as the goalie

Sedin, Sedin, Franzen, Zetterberg, Backstrom, Eriksson is a pretty solid top 6 as well

Yep, I have a feeling Sweden needs to be solidly in the Gold medal talk.. They will be tough...

You have to give Cam Fowler a little look in a year to make this squad. I know he is having a tough year, but another couple of seasons under his belt... he could be a bottom 3 pairing. I like how Shattenkirk didnt get a nod either...

I was just thinking about this too. Don't forget Ryan Whitney was on the team and I am hoping by 2014 he is playing at the top of his game and can maybe replace Rafalski's spot...

Potntial roster:

Parise Kesler Callahan
Brown Stastny Kane
Ryan Pavelski Kessel
Backes Oshie Stepan
Pominville

Whitney Suter
McDonaugh Yandle
EJ JJ
Carlson Byfuglien/Orpik

Thomas/Miller/Howard/Quick/Schneider....

With Parise, Callahan, Brown, Backes, Pominville...and the extra leadership of Kesler, Suter... could be scary..

Whitney is HORRIBLE!!!!

It was eye opening how good Jack and Eric did for team USA last time around. Wonder why Eric can't take it to another level on a consistent basis in the NHL?

And Yandle is a guy I watch on a regular basis. Honestly, he should have been in the conversation for the last Olympic team. Ek is right, if he wasn't in PHX, he'd be in every conversation when discussing Norris candidates. He's solid in all 3 zones and has that South Boston attitude on the ice.

He'd make any team better.

Ward>Luongo

Yandle is a beast. I see him play quite a bit here on the west coast and he definatly gets screwed out of a lot of considerations.

Kronwall-Karlsson
Edler-Enstrom
Hedman-Larsson

forgetting GUNNARSSON

Ward>Luongo

If I had to win a game right now, I'd rather Ward as my goalie.

If its my team Ryan Suter and Brooks Orpik are my shutdown pair, I don't think there are two better American Defenseman in the league. EJ has a lot of growing to do, I see him get beat a few times a game, maybe in two years it will be different.
- CanuckYou

By 2014, Ryan McDonagh might be one of the top 3 shutdown guys in the entire NHL..

If it's my team I go with

Suter-Fowler
Orpik-Byfuglien
Yandle-McDonagh

No idea where to put either of the Johnson's, or possibly Shattenkirk or Carlson

Martin and Komisarek will have no chance.

Is Myers Canadian or American? Anyways Giordano has a better shot at the Olympics than Alzner.
- flamminghead

Myers was born in Houston, TX . So he would be American unless he has duel citizenship... But I dont know. But if he is American, he is a top pairing guy on the American Squad for sure

He plays for Canada. Much like Cam Fowler was born in Windsor and plays for USA.

he played for canada at the world juniors, he made his choice

He's considered Canadian because he played in the WJC for Canada.

Suter-Fowler
Orpik-Byfuglien
Yandle-McDonagh

That third pairing is shaky but I don't think there's any chance Komisarek or Martin make the squad.

2014 is a long ways away though and there could be many other d-men emerging in the league between then and now.

trade you Ryan McDonagh for Scott Gomez and our retarded GM

Is it possible we see a return of komisarek to team usa 2014?

Part of the reason why I truly love the city of Montreal and Bob Gainey

Is it possible we see a return of komisarek to team usa 2014?

I think Chelios is before Komi on the depth list for USA.

myers was born in the US, but grew up in canada. he was part of the canadian development program, and has already represented canada on the world stage. if he plays, it has to be for canada.

With Lundqvist as the goalie

Sedin, Sedin, Franzen, Zetterberg, Backstrom, Eriksson is a pretty solid top 6 as well
- HabsRUs

the Swedes are my favorites heading into the tournament. Kronwall-Karlsson,
Edler-Enstrom, Hedman-Larsson on D plus the top 6 you mentioned in addition to Hank in net. That's an insanely solid team.

as of right now i think my team Canada would be (if healthy of course):

Stamkos - Crosby - Giroux
Perry - Gezlaf - Nash
M.Richards - Towes - E.Stall
Iggy - Nuget Hopkins - Tavares

Webber - Doughty
Keith - Seabrook
Letang - Pietrangelo

Price - Luongo - Fluerry

and spares would be - Duchane, Embarle, Carter, Myers, Hamuis

Same with Cam Fowler. Born in Ontario, raised in MI. He'll def be on USA's roster. I don't see Myers touching team Canada in 2 years, they're just way too deep.

They'd have to be considered the favorite. They've had the team in previous years... but Tommy Salo.... oh that Tommy Salo!

really, no spezza? spezza > staal, richards, iggy, RNH
spezza = getzlaf, nash, perry, tavares, giroux

agreed, unless he picks up his game considerably
