At the risk of sounding like every other national team roster exercise, I’m pretty sure Canada wins here. Sweden gets Alfredsson and Karlsson sure, but the depth and goaltending is clearly in Canada’s favour. With Sweden taking an easy silver, I’ll give the Czechs the bronze while the United State and Europe can fight for fourth place.
The next generation of Senators may change these results, with Thomas Chabot, Brady Tkachuk, Erik Brannstrom, Vitali Abramov, Lassi Thomson, Filip Chlapik, and Rudolfs Balcers all hoping to change the fortune of their respective teams.
