Giroux has to be on the team. Most likely over Lucic, Heater, etc
Neal - Crosby - Giroux
Nash - Stamkos - Eberle
Sharp -Towes - Iginla
Kane - Tavares - Perry
13th forward Spezza
Weber - Doughty
Boyle - Letang
Keith - Seabrook
7th defender Hamhuis
Price
Fleury
Smith
It may be a stretch to say that Iginla will still be productive at his age, but he has yet to disappoint. If he retires or his production drops, I would probably add Jamie Benn in his place. Same goes with Boyle. If he retires, I would replace him with Pietrangelo. Plus there are a ton of centerman that are left out such as Getzlaf, Seguin, Thorton, Stall brothers, Richards, Henrique, Bergeron, etc. It's really hard to pick a team with so much depth and my opinion will probably change in the coming years. But this is the team I predict.
Out of all the Oiler young guns, Hall should be considered first IMO. He brings a factor only few possess. Not to mention he's a natural LW which Canada only has a few of.

Neal won't be in over Benn, book it. So keep Iggy in and replace Neal, Iginla's age, experience, and skill will be essential IMO.
He didn't make it in 2010. He definitely won't be there in 2014.
St. Louis is one of the most underrated players in the NHL. The reason why Stamkos got to 60 goals is because of St. Louis. He was extremely close to making my roster, but I had to cut him due to his age.

Nah.
St. Louis assisted on something like 20 of he's goals or so. Might have been even less. Iirc, Teddy Purcell assisted on at least as many Stammer's goals as St. Louis.
