from Allan Muir of Sports Illustrated,
...That leaves just two returnees: Chris Pronger and Robyn Regehr, although Regehr will be in tough to hold onto the seventh spot.
Joining those two will be Dion Phaneuf, Shea Weber, Jay Bouwmeester, Dan Boyle and Brent Burns. As a unit, they boast size (averaging 6-3, 211 pounds), mobility, and the versatility to manage special teams as adeptly as they do five-on-five play. All of them have international experience—Weber and Phaneuf were partners with the junior team—that should help them make the transition to this stage.
In the mix, but likely on the outside looking in: Washington’s Mike Green, Chicago’s Brian Campbell and Duncan Keith, Philly’s Braydon Coburn, and Ed Jovanovski of the Coyotes.
Roberto Luongo, another star of the World Cup semi-final win over the Czechs, should be ready to assume the No. 1 job in the Canadian nets after apprenticing behind Martin Brodeur at the last two majors.
