Projected 2013 Olympic Hockey Rosters

The 2014 Sochi Olympics are less than a year away, and I would like to go on the record with projected rosters before the official rosters are named. Let's just say that these are my preliminary projections. Any player on or off one of these rosters has a chance at making their case to come or go. I'm convinced that if Canada could submit 3 teams, we would have a better than 50-50 chance at winning gold, silver, and bronze.
