I didn't know whether or not Blake was Canadian or American.  Anyway, why 
him?  Are you a Kings fan?
Also including Neidermayer seems a little too overconfident of his 
abilities, doesn't it?  How about using Zalapski (previous experience) and 
Steve Duchesne?  Also, is Jeff Brown Canadian or American?

This would be assuming the CIS went into the Olympics as a full unit again.
How about Lomakin?

You don't think Peter Forsberg would make the team?
(Say over Edstrom or C.Berglund?)
Also whatever happened to the guy with the last name Hjalm?  I liked him, 
but I haven't heard of him since either '87 Canada Cup or '88 
Olympics

Ranheim's a forward.
Also maybe I'd include Doug Weight over John LeClair because he has more 
international experience in the World Junior Tournament (leading scorer a 
couple years back)

Just some input...
