The NHL is headed back to the Olympics, thanks to the new CBA. Assuming they can work out a deal with the IOC, we’ll finally see the return of best-on-best international play on the sports world’s biggest stage.
To celebrate, let’s spend some time on an international-themed question: Which NHL team can build the best six-man starting lineup of players from six different hockey nations?
Specifically, we’re going to be looking for one player each from Canada, the United States, Sweden, Finland and Russia/the old Soviet Union. We’ll round out the lineup with one player from somewhere else, such as the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, etc.
