Maybe this will get more response than the American debate below, but who do you predict will be on the Canadian Olympic Team?
My (updated) predictions are
At Centre: Joe Thornton Sidney Crosby Vincent Lecavailer Joe Sakic
At LW: Rick Nash Ryan Smyth Eric Staal (i believe they'll move him to the wing to fit him in) Simon Ganger
At RW: Dany Heatley Jeff Carter (again, I think they'll move him to the wing) Shane Doan Jerome Iginla
On Defense: Jay Bouwmeester Chris Pronger Ed Jovanovski Dan Boyle Dion Phaneuf Shea Weber
In Net: Martin Brodeur Roberto Luongo Carey price
Reserves: Martin St. Louis (RW) Mike Camallerii (LW) Marc Savard (C) Brian Campbell (D) Steve Mason (G)
I was debating between Mason and Price for the 3rd keep spot, but I think they can't overlook Price's World Jr. resume plus being thrown into the fire of Montreal at such a young age, despite him having a sub-par year. Also moving Carter and Staal to the wing is a risky guess over natural wingers in Camallerii and St. Louis.

Such a tough choice!!! You could seriously have 2 full teams with reserves!

DUCKS GM offers his predictions for 2010 Team Canada:
At Centre: Joe Thornton Sidney Crosby Vincent Lecavailer Marc Savard
At LW: Rick Nash Ryan Getzlaf (*another C who might play on the wing) Eric Staal (*) Mike Cammalleri
At RW: Dany Heatley Jeff Carter (*) Shane Doan Jerome Iginla
On Defense: Jay Bouwmeester Mike Green Ed Jovanovski Dan Boyle Dion Phaneuf Chris Pronger
In Net: Martin Brodeur Roberto Luongo Marty Turco
Reserves: Martin St. Louis (RW) Simon Gagne (LW) Patrick Marleau (C) Brian Campbell (D) Steve Mason (G)
Note: Defense is very hard to pick. Seems like Team Canada has loads of great offensive guys. A lot of the following guys are quite interchangable: Jovo/Green/Boyle/Bouwmeester/Campbell/Weber to name a few.

I was debating Green as well, a GREAT offensive defenseman, but Canada will have a lot of great 1st pass/PP dmen who are not defensive liabilities like Green is...thats why i left him off (i should be steve yzerman)
