Today we look at Team USA for the Upcoming Olympics and this is definitely a strong group. I feel this is the strongest USA team put together since the first World Cup of Hockey that saw Mike Richter lead the way...

Line 1.
Auston Matthews Patrick Kane Alex DeBrincat
The two speedy Hawks centered by Matthews would be crazy fun to watch


Line 2:
Jack Eichel (Jack Hughes) Johnny Gaudreau and Brock Boeser
If Eichel is healthy enough to play he plays here. If Niot, I go with Hughes...I know he's young but he is going to have a great year.

Line 3:
Dylan Larkin Matthew Tkachuk Brady Tkachuk
Maybe my favorite "Checking line that can score" EVER.

Line 4:
Blake Wheeler Kyle Connor TJ Oshie
Because USA is fast but somewhat small, AND because they are very young I feel you need some experience and sandpaper here.

Extra: Jack Hughes (if Eichel Plays) JT Millier (if Eichel is out)

Defense
Zach Werenski – Seth Jones
Charlie McAvoy-Ryan McDonagh
John Carlson – Adam Fox
Extra: Quinn Hughes
A VERY solid top 6. Doesn't get much better anywhere.

Goalies:
Connor Hellebuyck
Spencer Knight
John Gibson
maybe team USA's weak spot. NONE of these guys are Ryan Miller or Jonathan Quick.
