Projected Rosters For The World Cup Of Hockey

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,

Right now, we expect these six hockey nations will take part: Canada, the United States, Finland, Sweden, Russia and the Czech Republic. Plus two other composition teams will round out a field of eight.

For the national teams we know will be in Toronto, we went with a 25-man roster of three goalies, eight defensemen and 14 forwards, and tried to take into account the maturation of young players and the durability of older players.

We also included our Team Euro Leftovers Roster and the Young North American Guns roster (which makes a mockery of the entire tournament and is a kick in the shins to the Swiss and the Slovaks, who should have their own teams in this competition).

We included only those North American players who will be 25 or younger on our Team Sham, er, Team Young Guns roster.
