From the article: Picking Team Canada for the 2010 Olympics
It's easy to agree on guys like Sidney Crosby and Rick Nash.
But there are plenty of players "on the bubble" as Canada sizes up the candidates for the 2010 Olympic men's hockey team.
Has Dion Phaneuf got his game back? Is Vincent Lecavalier still worthy? How many Staal brothers would you take? Is there room for Marc Savard?
Let's hear your picks. Who's overrated? Who's been overlooked? Who do you think deserves a spot on Team Canada? Share Your Roster Picks

- Goal: Brodeur, Luongo, Fleury D: Keith,Boyle, Weber, Green, Pronger, Niedermeyer, Seabrook. Forwards: Crosby, Nash, Iginla, Heatley, Leacvalier, St. Louis, Toews, Getzlaf, Marleau, Thornton, Stamkos, Perry

My Picks
- GOAL - Brodeur, Fleury, Luongo (barring injuries I do not think this will change) D-MEN - Locks are Bouwmeester, Boyle, Niedermayer, Pronger; Bubble Guys: Doughty & Phaneuf, with Green as 7th for PP FORWARDS - Locks are Crosby, Nash, Iginla, and from there it's a crap-shoot; Bubble Guys; Carter, Getzlaf, Heatley, Marleau, Perry, M.Richards, St.Louis, Smyth, Stamkos, Thornton. There's my 23-man roster (for now, as lots of probable changes based on performances yet to come)

the real team
- Goalies: martin Broudeur, marc- andre Fleury (luongo is not playing like an olympic goalie) For Defense: Take Pronger, Weber , Bouwmeester, Phaneuf, Keith, and Boyle Forwards: Iginla, Thornton,Heatley, Crosby, Nash, Richards, St. Louis, Getzlaf, Marleau, Carter, Perry, and if Stamkos keeps playing the way he does he would also do well. Shane Doan is on the bubble for me. He is a good leader but, it would be hard for me to take him unless he was on the 3rd or 4th line. Also, if Rich Peverley keeps his season as consistent as its been, Steve Yzerman should keep an eye on him too. Mike Green could also fit in there. I don't see how Milan Lucic should be considered. Lucic can fight and sometimes score.

Canadian team
- brodeur, luongo, fleury bouwmeester, niedermayer, boyle, weber, seabrook, keith, regehr nash, crosby, iginla, doan, getzlaf, heatley, richards, j. staal, sharp, e. staal, carter, st. louis, toews, would have picked savard, but he got injured and sharp should definitely make the team because of his scoring prowess and his ability to get the puck from anyone on the ice

Team Canada 2
- I think you could win a silver with the players you don't pick for your team let me know your picks and i'll offer up the challenger
- —Guest The Hammer
AGREE to DISAGREE
- Jerome Iginla should be the captin. He has experience being the captain and he also knows how to whip a team into shape. Sidney Crosby is a great hockey player but putting the pressure on him this year would be fatal to the Olympic Team.
