PrintNow that we know the players who made Team Canada that will actually compete at the 2010 Olympics, what about some line combinations and players who could give them a run for their money right here at home?
FORWARDS:
Martin St. Louis - Brad Richards - Steven Stamkos
Simon Gagne - Stephen Weiss - Nathan Horton
Shane Doan - Vincent Lecavalier - Mike Fisher
Jeff Carter - Jordan Staal - Mike Cammalleri
That doesn't even include the injured Jason Spezza (or Derek Roy, or Patrick Sharp, or Travis Zajac, or Dustin Penner or a number of other solid choices).
DEFENCEMEN:
Dion Phaneuf - Robyn Regher
Stephane Robidas - Brian Campbell
Doesn't include Marc-Andre Bergeron, Ed Jovanovski, Braydon Coburn or more.
GOALTENDERS:
The thinnest spot, but it still doesn't include the other 2 goalies selected for the Team Canada summer camp in Cam Ward and Steve Mason.

I love Burr but on his own I don’t think he’s better than any of the players listed and would hardly make the honorable mentions included.
Just call me Jay...
Yeah but a 30 goal scorer (fingers crossed) who can also play shut down role and agitate. His stock is rising. Soon that contract he signed will look like a steal.

He doesn’t score 25-30 goals if he isn’t with the Sedins so I don’t think you can give him that label. 15-20 goal guy is more conservative.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy but all those other guys are more “legit” IMO.

Yeah I was just thinking about roles and how pieces fit. Like if Bergeron gets on the A team because he is a right handed face off guy then maybe there is a place on the B team for an elite penalty killer/agitator with some finish? I mean play him with someone like Richards or Weiss and he is getting lots of good set ups like he gets with the Sedins.
