Predicting Canada's 2022 Olympic roster without NHLers
The NHL and NHLPA are expected to announce in the coming days that they will not be sending their players to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Beijing, China due to the number of games needing to be rescheduled because of COVID-19.
With NHL players not going, I'm going to share who I think will represent Canada in Beijing in roughly seven weeks.
Each Olympic roster has 25 players, usually broken down into fourteen forwards, eight defencemen, and three goaltenders.
Forwards (14)
Jordan Weal (Ak Bars Kazan - KHL)
David Desharnais (Fribourg-Gotteron HC - NL)
Eric O'Dell (Dynamo Moscow - KHL)
Landon Ferraro (Kolner Haie - DEL)
Tyler Graovac (Dinamo Minsk - KHL)
Ryan Spooner (Avtomobilist Yekaterinberg - KHL)
Eric Fehr (AK Bars Kazan - KHL)
Daniel Audette (Vityaz Podolsk - KHL)
Adam Tambellini (Rogle BK - SHL)
Corban Knight (Avangard Omsk - KHL)
Alexandre Grenier (SCL Tigers - NL)
Daniel Winnik (Geneve-Servette HC - NL)
Max Veronneau (Leksands IF - SHL)
Ben Street (EHC Munchen - DEL)
Defencemen (8)
Brandon Gormley (Dinamo Riga - KHL)
Morgan Ellis (Eisbaren Berlin - DEL)
Jason Demers (AK Bars Kazan - KHL)
Chay Genoway (Brynas IF - SHL)
Ryan O'Connor (Iserlohn Roosters - DEL)
Jesse Blacker (Yekaterinburg Automobilist - KHL)

Goaltenders (3)

Canada will be in Group A at the 2022 Winter Games where they'll face Germany on February 10th, the United States on February 12th, and China on February 13th.
