This is what I think Team USA will should like at the Olympics. Jack Hughes was an HM for me, I think he will make it if he plays to his potential, If he continues to improve, cut Garland and put Hughes in the lineup over him. Otherwise keep Garland.
Pavelski (C)
Pacioretty, Kane (A)
Guys that just missed are in the healthy scratches
I know you aren't adding Jones so not gonna bother arguing that but what about Connor? Yamamoto, DeBrincat, and even Hanifin can all make decent arguments now too

Connor is a comlete defensive liability. I know he scores goals, but basically everyone on that forward group can score. They need some good defense and PKing. Which is why I opted to take Coleman and Miller over him
Yamamoto and Debrincat are both young and somewhat inconsistent (thats mainly Debrincat) Yamamoto was on a SH% bender last year. Want to see him play at a sustainable rate and then maybe I will consider him
Connor and Jones are just about a locks. DeBrincat is probably inside track as well
I wouldnt call Jones a lock. He propbably will make it, but I wouldnt include him at all if I was incharge of picking the team. Hes on the ice a lot, but doesnt contribute in any positive way
