great news for hockey fans as it appears the Pros likely headed back to The Olympics . STACKED teams, best-on-best, what more can ya ask for?

Canada is on a roll in pro best-on-best tournaments having won two straight Olympic Golds and cruising to The World Cup. USA should have s strong team , Mathews and Eichel future leaders at the front.

Here's my early Team Canada line-up

Bergeron- Crosby- Marchand ........... Was HANDS DOWN the best line at the World Cup, dominating. Age may be a factor tho, and larger ice surface

Barzal- McDavid- T Hall ..............Speed in spades

Stamkos- MacKinnon- Marner

Sheifele- O'Reilly - M Stone

subs; Point, Tavares

dee;

Pietrangelo- Chabot

Doughty- Makar

Hamilton- Theodore

subs- Ekblad

G

Price, Binnington

Players have until Monday at 5 p.m. ET to announce whether they will opt-out of playing without punishment, but this agreement between team and player will allow both to make a responsible decision over a longer timeframe."
