With the Olympics around the corner, and the announcement of rosters just days away, it’s time to break down which Rangers will be heading to Vancouver.
MORTAL LOCKS:
Henrik Lundqvist, Sweden
Marian Gaborik, Slovakia
What, you thought these guys would be staying home?
ON THE BUBBLE:
Chris Drury, USA
Ryan Callahan, USA
Vinny Prospal, Czech Republic
Marc Staal, Canada
I think Drury’s recent hot streak helps him. He’s an unbelievable penalty killer. And a great leader. But, he may not score enough to make it. Same with Callahan. Will he provide enough offense for USA to take him? He’d be a hell of a 3rd liner, though. Prospal is interesting. He probably wasn’t on the radar at the beginning of the year. But, he’s had a such a good year, and he can really set up some of the big stars. Staal is probably a long-shot. He hasn’t had a great year, offensively, but he can be a shut down defenseman. I think 2014 is more likely for him.
Anyone I’m missing?
