Team Canada roster for four nations tournament leaked by NHL insider
NHL insider Chris Johnston revealed the entirety of Team Canada's roster for the upcoming four-nations tournament.
The event has been highly anticipated by fans around the world as it will be our first chance to see the world's best players go head to head representing their countries in a decade.
Naturally, team Canada is absolutely loaded with some of the very best players to ever represent their country.
The forward core is stacked with superstar talent up and down the lineup.
It won't matter what line is on the ice, team Canada will always be dangerous at this tournament, keeping their opponents on their toes.
After all, when the fourth line features Sam Bennet, Anthony Cirelli, and Travis Konecny, you know you have a good team.
Of course, Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby, Mitch Marner, and Nathan Mackinnon highlight the group.
If the rest of the world thought there might be a weakness on defense they have another thing coming.
Canada's top pair will feature Cale Makar and Devon Toews, a Stanley Cup-winning pair.
Behind him is Alex Pietrangelo and Shea Theodore, another pair of Stanley Cup winners, with Josh Morrisey and Colton Parayko rounding out the group and Travis Sanheim the extra.
One area that could be a weakness for the team is in goal.
It appears as though the three netminders for the team will be Jordan Binnington, Adin Hill, and Sam Montembeault.
Both Hill and Binnington have won Stanley Cups as starters, but neither is considered an elite netminder.
Compared to Finland's Jusse Saros, USA's Connor Hellebuyck, and Sweden's Linus Ullmark and Jacob Markstrom, Canada's netminders certainly leave a lot to be desired.
With plenty of help in front of them though, their jobs could be a bit easier. Will they be good enough to get the gold though? Tune in next February to find out.
