It really is I think Hamilton, Makar, Pietrangelo, Ekblad and Theodore are pretty much locks, after that there is like 5-7 guys for the last 2 spots and any combination of 2 of those guys wouldn't shock me.

The problem is outside of Theodore who is more two way, all of Canada's best LD are really offensive d. (Rielly, Chabot, etc).
So either put an Rd off handed or it may end up being someone like weegar or pelech

Exactly they always like to have a shutdown pair, which like you said would either be Weegar or Pelech alongside Ekblad and then beyond that it's really a toss up. I have an odd feeling they might go Nurse, even though I disagree with that choice, for the last spot.

Yup. I agree with your 5.
Then I would say it's (in no particular order):
Pelech, nurse, Rielly, weegar, Chabot.
Perhaps Toews and Girardi as dark horse
Letang and Doughty would likely be in that first group but so many RD
