Let me know your thoughts on my projected roster and who you think you will make this team.

[@bostonwarrior4824]

Good video but Brayden Schenn, Logan Couture, Travis Konecny and Claude Giroux I would also add In my opinion.

[@jayTeal]

Absolutely none of those guys would be on it.

[@bostonwarrior4824]

@@jayTeal why they put up 60 points plus and are good quality nhl players

[@vincenthuardpelletier1009]

What about Owen Power on the third pair ? Pretty sure he will continue to grow into a superstar.

[@35jigganator]

A darkhorse as a goaltending option in 2 years could be Devon Levi. I feel like he has the ''it'' factor and I'd love to see him become a stud for the Sabres and Team Canada going forward.

[@c.s.s.5326]

This!

[@jamesmoss5971]

Love this idea. Hope to see you do this for every country that would participate in the tournament

[@c.s.s.5326]

Roster seems a bit light up front, and lines while meshing skill seem to lack balance. If RNH isn't an L1 guy in Edmonton, he isn't one on the national team. Also never a fan of having all right or all left shots on a line. A clever coach can shut things like that down and stifle the offense. J. Huberdeau-Crosby-MacKinnon (built in Chemistry) Z. Hyman-McDavid-Stamkos (Built in Chemistry + Sniper) B. Marchand-B. Point-M. Stone (Def. Responsible) J. Tavares-M. Barzal-M. Marner (Built in Chemistry) x C. Bedard x. C. Giroux (Vet and Investing in future of the team) D. Toews-C. Makar (If ya have to ask) Theodore-Pietrangelo (see D1 reasoning) M. Rielly-D. Hamilton (Balanced) x N. Dobson (size, offensive jump, Invests in the future of the team) D. Kuemper (Best of the Present) C. Hart (Best of the Future until Gabriel D'Aigle arrives on the scene) x L. Thompson (when healthy has been great + Youngish)

[@mitchking3348]

I like what you did with the defence pairs. Makes sense. A lot can change from now til the tournament. Making a goalie really stands out and takes the #1 spot. Pretty stacked lineup tho.

[@stannelson2582]

Hoping Devon levi is in net by then

[@nealmac9017]

The video I didn't know I needed till I read the title,well done sir

[@LonewolfJesseJames506]

I honestly like the roster you've put together here, I'm a little torn on the third defense pairing..obviously Hamilton and Doughty are elite level D Men, but I'm not sure you can leave Josh Morrissey of the roster the way he's been playing. I guess if you switch Hamilton and Morrissey in and out it might work. Overall, good job on predicting the roster and honestly I don't see how any other country could compete against Canada..maybe USA, maybe Russia, but idk man Canada is stacked with elite level talent.

[@saracollins1234]

Love that Zack Hyman made the team! He plays a valuable role and is underrated in my opinion.

[@brendanoneill1466]

Always an interesting exercise. As a Flyers fan it is a bracing reality that only Carter Hart is seen as worthy of being a reserve.

[@enriqueleon1169]

There are 2 whole seasons to go (23-24 and 24-25) before the proposed tournament. So much can change.

[@stephen9302]

Canada's so deep that Ctosby😂is a 3rd line center - how😊 can a team match that 😮😮😮😮😮 Great picks Sir . I see no holes in Team Canada

[@rickyaz8640]

Pylon in goal

[@stephen9302]

@@rickyaz8640 He's right that Canada's ONLY maybe a B in goal and the times of Broduer and Roy were better

[@darylcraypo5555]

Great team my friend...can't argue with your picks at all...Wish Canada had a super goalie, but Hill could do the Job...

[@JohnnyDanger-th4ui]

I think you forgot about Tavares. He’s still a point a game player

[@TopShelfHockey]

No didn’t forget, mention him as someone I considered but opted not to select him.

[@rapideye85]

He's very underrated. It seems that almost everyone underestimates him. Johnny didn't even get Top 20 Centres by NHL's own analysts. I just don't understand it.

[@rcl1955ca]

My concern is with guys like Giroux and Burns (I know he'd be an extra). Both are way on the wrong side of 30. In fact you're looking at a couple of guys who'd be 40 or staring hard at 40. The goaltending is a giant question mark. Nobody inspires a great amount of confidence. Personally if that's the best they have i'd actually start Hart. He at least has international experience. You're right about the goaltending though. If as an example, Russia was allowed in they could roll 4 deep in net. All better than the best Canada could offer.

[@realmiltonbradley8365]

I do feel like Devon Levi and Samuel Montembault could be potential candidates for the G-spot in 2025

[@happytrails151]

The achilles heel is pretty obvious Honestly our best bet for goalies are totally new names to ascend. Skinner, Levi etc

[@Marty-72]

Nice lines but need more grit on fwds the rest looks great Chabot 3rd pair

[@haybaile9478]

Dark horse out there. True defensive forward. Adam Lowry whose a pain on penalty kill.

[@randypattie9524]

Tough to predict a roster of players 2 years in advance of the games as that is like a lifetime in pro sports. I would say that the team Canada GM will probably not pick any age 35 plus players for the team, and you've got at least 4 or 5 on your squad. If you look back historically at other Canadian teams this preference holds true. Besides I think guys like Crosby and Marchand will be done with any international hockey so close to the end of their careers.

[@JohnnyDanger-th4ui]

Nevermind the Trolls (Haters) you do a great show I watch daily! The one’s that just wanna hate can find another channel to watch!

[@j.t.miller1641]

For fun you should make a 2nd canada team just see what that team would look like

[@kristo2037]

Stamkos - McDavid - MacKinnon McCann - Crosby - Marner Huberdeau - Point - Stone Marchand - Giroux - Kyrou Verhaeghe Scheifele Toews - Makar Weegar - Spurgeon Pelech - Burns Chabot Ekblad Kuemper Skinner Jarry Only real issue I had with the list was RNH, and Hill as the starter. I also wouldn't have Bedard at this point on there. If you want to make the case that in 25 he will be ready, then you have to take the passage of time into consideration for other players too. The older ones in particular

[@rickyaz8640]

Yes, you do. Doubt Marchand or Giroux are there in 2 seasons. Pietrangelo and Theodore should be there. Probably Power in 2 seasons. US will have a better roster.

[@kristo2037]

@@rickyaz8640 Yeah this is just the roster i'd have now. My point is that you can't have Bedard and Marchand simultaneously. I cba with predicting the future team

[@JAY-zd7vu]

🙄😂🤣😂🙄

[@johnsummerhill8323]

Some of your choices will not be on a team that is chosen 2 years from now. Also McKinnon and McDavid should not be on the same line. These are 2 premier puck carriers. They need to be on separate lines to make each line stronger.

[@kristo2037]

@@johnsummerhill8323 Predicting how good players are 2 years from now is pretty hard. I just decided to do current

[@stevemclavish7847]

Dude...Stuart Skinner...probably a Vezina nominated Goalie next year

Having jugent Hopkins on Canada's first line feels so wrong...

Push it up to 2024! It’s been WAY TOO LONG for a best on best! And why not a Canada A and a Canada U23? And a USA and USA U23?

[@brendanhurley3358]

Bedard probably won’t be on the team if there is team North America

[@mrtzah5610]

Would love to see the US team. Even as a Canadian I feel US is the team to beat. They have some elite top end talent, specially on defence and in goal

[@darcywandy29]

Goaltending is a weak spot for sure. Hopefully Devin Levi is as advertised and becomes elite quick. He would be at the top of my list if that happens. Hopefully Carter Hart can bounce back to being good. Canada hasnt produced great goaltending since the last wave of Roy, Brodeur, Luongo, Price, Fleury, etc. Overall, I like picks on this video. Canada has enough fire power to dominate. Just need someone to make timely saves. 🇨🇦

[@sampic6347]

How are we sleeping on Marchessault

Wow, what happened to Canadian goaltending?! 😢

[@darcywandy29]

Definitely the weak spot on the team.

[@MySundin13]

Team Canada WILL win 🇨🇦💯

[@DaFoxx101]

This might sound a bit crazy. But there was a dam good Rookie Goalie that could have been Rookie of the year last year and that being Stuart Skinner. If the Oilers do win the Cup this up coming season Skinner will be a big part of it . Time will tell .

[@stephen9302]

Leafs then Oilers back to back 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 - not with Bettman at the helm!!

[@drysiftwizard3469]

Had to stop watching after you put Stamkos on the 2nd line...i couldnt stop laughing 😂😂😂😂 he is barely good enough to play the 2nd line on his own team ffs 😂😂😂😂

[@Katie-hb8iq]

I think it's difficult to predict some of these players because we don't know how players like Stamkos or even Crosby will be in 2 years. Things could be very different then.

[@drysiftwizard3469]

Lol wat

[@Carpy_On_Ice]

Barzal and Bedard would be deadly 😫

Just give Russia a team who cares.

[@davidsine1222]

Goaltending now that King Carey has basically retired is a weak spot
