Eklund: EXACTLY Who Will Be on Team USA in China; Buzz@1 with Kevin

Looks like a bronze medalist to me.
Beyond the first line not sure who else makes Team Canada or Russia from a forward perspective.
The defense is maybe the best in the world

Jack Eichel

no Jaccob Slavin?

Seriously? lol

The goaltending position looks weak because you left out Thatcher Demko.

no Jaccob Slavin?

Seriously? lol
- BINGO!

Which AHL team does he play for?

No Anders Lee????

Slavin
Chychrun

Not saying I can't find any faults, but Team USA this time around could have one of their best ever squads. At least on paper.
Forward group is the weakness, but really only because the D and goalies are strengths!
Oh, and how is it exactly that the latest Norris winner is on the 3rd pairing???

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

LOSERS. THE BOTH OF THEM!!!!!

Demko for Gibson, with Demko backing up Hellebuyck. Give Knight a taste over Gibson as the third goalie.

Given Mikey is coaching, I expect Guentzel will be on the roster

What - no Cole Caufield?

Kyle Connor might give Kane a run for best winger on the roster. Why is he on the 4th line? Also, McDonagh??? It's 2022 not 2012. McDonagh over Slavin. Good call.

Quinn Hughes on the bench??? cmon Ek he’s way better than McDonough

- Eklund

I predict the roster will be filled by American citizens

stop

If he gets off to a good start don't count out Joel Farabee, he'll you have Jack Hughes there and he s done nothing

Cause his defense stinks.

I really like our lines up and down but you are 100% correct the net looks kind of week. I think we are definitely fast and we do have some size out there.

Jake Guentzel is a more then a point per game scorer! How is he not mentioned?

I don't see Ryan Whitney on the roster

Yeah, maybe this team has a shot at bronze.

Nobody's touching Team Canada, that's for sure.

My guess is that Pens-haters rationalize it by saying that Guentzel is only good because he plays with Crosby and that without Crosby his numbers would be way down. Really, though, I am hoping that no Pens players make any of olympic teams. I would rather see them use the time to rest instead of getting worn out and risking injury in uncompensated games half way around the world.

So three wingers on the 4th line? And no Guentzel?
Take out Brady and Wheeler for Guentzel and JT Miller

I don't see Ryan Whitney on the roster
