TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun joins Gino Reda to discuss who he believes will be on Team Canada 's roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off from each position and the level of secrecy involved in the roster reveals, which will be made official on Wednesday.The NHL and NHL Players Association want to make a big deal of these roster reveals on Wednesday. We know Finland and Sweden will be in the afternoon because of the time difference back home, while Canada and the US are in the evening.
There's so much respect for Doughty. He would have been on, I think, had he not been hurt this year given his Olympic experience in 2010 and 2014 and he's still a great defenceman but obviously you understand why he won't be part of the roster when it's announced on Wednesday, because he hasn't played hockey yet. There's been a lot of talk about who's going to play in net. When we spoke last week you felt pretty confident that Aidan Hill andwould be named to the team.
Nothing confirmed yet, even from secondary sourcing on who that third name will be, so it will be interesting. As I mentioned last week, whoever that third goalie is isn't necessarily the third goalie right now. It just means that he's one of three names because the reality is that Team Canada views the goaltending competition as completely wide open between now and February and whoever has the hot hand will get the start come Feb. 12 in Montreal.
