2026 team Canada

I think there's a degree of internal inconsistency. If you have both Kane and Hyman making the team, it's presumably because you're valuing established chemistry in the construction of your team. However, the fact that you proceed to not feature any established duos on the D group despite there being a few clear options strikes me as odd. For one, I think Devon Toews would be a better choice than Rielly in both chemistry & fit and I imagine Weegar's long-term chemistry with Ekblad and positional flexibility might afford him the chance ahead of both Rielly & Power.

As for goalies, I'd say both Hart & Jarry are currently and will likely continue to be better options than Montembeault.

Ya struggled with the build, thanks for the insight. Was thinking that fourth line might be kind of a blender sort of jack of all trades to blender the other three. Good call on weegar and toews, blueline probably needs a little more weight and physicality, than I had previously. Hart I believe isn’t eligible, but Jarry is the answer to the most burning question, possibly keep montembault on age, and also power, power kind of the doughty of this team, go for the experience and possibly coming out party. Jarry/hill will have to do, possibly Thompson or montembault pressbox. Interesting way too far out predictions anyway.
