I didn’t spend as much time on this as I could’ve, pretty hard to predict the actual roster since there’s simply an unbelievable amount of talent to go around. Seriously, it’s daunting to look at the potential players and try to whittle them down to size. I didn’t even bother doing scratches or sorting out the pp/pk.
Anyways, the forwards are Canada’s most disgusting part of the roster, nothing even needs to be said about the top two lines. I wouldn’t be surprised if the third line wasn’t scored against all tournament lol. Fourth line is where I can see other players slotting in, uber talented either way.
Defense might be the most challenging roster spots to figure out, with the young guns knocking at the door while the old guard isn’t ready to let go (sorry Doughty but you’ll have to prove yourself again).
Price seems like the consensus option as starter with Kuemper as the extremely solid backup and Blackwood or maybe Hart ready to jump in as well. Goalie is Canada’s weakest position. Always willing to consider other options, it’s super fun to think of a stacked best-on-best Olympics!
Scheifele is top 10 in scoring. Ahead of everyone on this team not named mcdavid or marner. Pretty sure he gets a spot in the lineup. Especially ahead of guys like o’reilly. Barzal, and stamkos

scheif is super good but the roster isn’t based off the 2020-21 season. they’ll have their own selection process which will take a lot of things into account, like chemistry and defensive aspects. i think he’ll at least make it on as the extra forward
