I dont know how many youre actually allowed but 26 seemed like enough
Notable absences are mostly just age concerns for me (Stone, Giroux, Pietrangelo etc.) All fantastic players but it's hard to know how and when the age curve starts to affect them.
Surprise inclusions: Added guys like Foerster and Cirelli because I think Canada's best shot at beating the US comes down to having some high end defensive guys they can matchup against the americans offense. They won't be able to out offense them, but there are enough defensive and two way guys here that they could still compete and win.
Pairings and lines are mostly just what I think would be interesting, by no means a characterization of their talent levels (wouldnt surprise me at all if bedard was their 2C)
Goaltending: I uhhh....really hope this Levi dude pans out. This was the worst part of making this lol.
If Pietrangelo isn't on this team I'll be shocked.
He'll be 36. I could see him as an extra but that seems like a long shot. It's a tough sell to suggest that 36 year old pietrangelo will be better than any of these 8 guys here.

He'll be 2nd pair with Theodore.
You only have Dunn and McCann here because you're a Kraken fan. 🤣
Bouchard won't be on this team either unless he's an extra.

Where's Ekblad?

Ekblad is literally on the team lol
Pietrangelo will be 36, odds he'll be better than any of the above d-man are basically zero. And Im not a kraken fan, I just picked a team at random for my profile. Bouchard is pretty good Idk why thats a stretch.
Lol I thought Dobson was american, thats my bad. I'll probably add him over Pietrangelo

No Dobson?
What a joke! 🤭
The actual joke is being bent out of shape over a 36 year old not being 2nd pair with Shea Theodore. How are you gunna blindly accuse me of being a kraken fan and not acknowledge your own bias?
