What Would the Big 5 Teams Look Like If Top Pros Played In The Worlds This Year.

As I watch the World Jrs and they discussed some players absent from the Tourney because they were in the NHL, I wondered what a best on best Tourney would look like right now.  Who would be the US and Canadian centers?  Would Dahlin and Ristolainen make the Swedish and Finnish teams?  To balance the Tourney would you have a World team or a Czech team?

So how would these teams look if we built 22 man rosters (13/7/2)?

In honor of the US playing Finland for Gold, let’s start with nominations for those two teams.  I added 2 obvious choices for each team.

USA

1. Eichel

2. Matthews

 

 

Finland

1. Laine

2. Ratanen

Canada could put out:

Hall  McDavid   Stamkos

Marchand   Crosby   MacKinnon  (Nova Scotia line)

Tavares   Scheifele   Marner

Benn   Bergeron   Stone

Couture   Point   Giroux

Rielly   Doughty

Chabot   Burns

Giordano   Weber

Subban   Pietrangelo

Holtby

Price

Jones

My roster has too many guys, I had a hard time leaving some others off.

Arvidsson. Backstrom. Forsberg

Landeskog. Pettersson. Lindholm

Johansson. Rakell. Hornqvist

Steen. Zibanajad. Nylander

Silfverberg. Karlsson. Kempe

Hedman. Stralman

Ekman-Larsson. Karlsson

Ekholm   Klingberg

Lindholm   Larsson

Lundqvist

Markstrom

Ullmark
