Don't see Seabrook on the team if his poor play continues into next year.
I think Methot will be invited to camp, based on his WC appearance and play this season. They have too many righties.

I finally figured out who MolsonX is. Glenn Healy!!!
Hawks fanboy here.
Is it ridiculous to suggest that Corey Crawford gets a look for the 2014 Olympic team? Given recent performance, I would take him over Ward in a heartbeat.

Crawford is definitely in the mix. A Hawks comeback, and Stanley Cup win could potentially ensure his selection. The selection of the three Canadian goalies is intriguing for sure.
1) Price
2) Luongo
Brodeur, Ward, Crawford, Dubnyk, Mason, Reimer.
Probably between Brodeur/Ward/Crawford for the 3rd spot.
There is another thread about this in the goalies forum, check it out if you're interested.

Cheers.
Some guys no one has mentioned (I think)
Hamhuis, Campbell and Seguin.
I wouldn't mind seeing Hamhuis on the third paring. Nice vet to have. Or, Campbell as the offensive catalyst in the 6-7 spot. They both shoot left too.
Seguin, regardless of his shitty playoffs, I think would be a thread on the bigger ice.
It'll come down to whoever is playing at the top of their game when camp starts anyways.
