Possibility of Olympics next year and this is what I could come up with. As strong as a USA team as I can ever remember. (C) Patrick Kane, (A) Blake Wheeler, (A) John Carlson.
Now that I think about it, I may swap Demko for Jonathan Quick as the 3rd goalie. Ben Bishop overall has better numbers than Quick but Bishop is always injured and Quick was the starter in 2014 the last time they played in the Olympics(NHL players that is) and also won the cup that year so that pedigree and experience could be invaluable to both Hellebuyck and Gibson I believe

Quick hasn't been good in years. He's got no place anywhere near an Olympic roster.

Sure as a starter or backup absolutely, as a 3rd goalie it’s essentially a moot point backed up by my reasoning listed above. Inversely, if Bishop is healthy next year then why not.

If that’s the only gripe than I’d say I’m not doing too bad. lol
