The Olympic Winter Games are just over two months away.
With the clock counting down to the first best-on-best Olympic tournament since 2018 — we will assume the arena will be finished on time — the roster breakdown for both Canada and the US is loaded with myriad questions.
In Canada, among the biggest queries is whether the roster will include one or all of the next generation of stars in Macklin Celebrini of the San Jose Sharks, Connor Bedard of the Chicago Blackhawks and Matthew Schaefer of the New York Islanders, the lone defenseman in that trio.
As shocking as it may sound, it will take shoehorns to fit any of those players, let alone all of them.
It would be an understatement to say Canada’s forward and defense corps are loaded, and some truly incredible players will be left off
