Stamkos Crosby Tavares
Perry Toews St Louis
Couture Thornton Duchene
Carter Bergeron Richards


I don't think J.Staal has any business making the team. Big ice surface so right off the bat will be worse off than the NHL and guy's like Bergeron and Toews are not only better offensively but defensively as well. Kunitz benefits from Crosby alot and don't really like how his game translates as well. I left off Getzlaf because of the ice surface as well and having two huge C's that playmake and aren't exactly the best skaters in Thornton/Getzlaf seems like a bad idea IMO.

I'm probably roll the same defence as you except switch JBO in for Hamonic. One of the best skaters in the league, should thrive internationally.
