Prairies Roster Set

Forward heavy roster will compete for the World Cup

Nowhere, Canada - GM of the Dallas Stars has the daunting task of selecting the roster for the juggernaut Prairies team.  Kato's rosters are usually full of many 2 way players that can help offensively and defensively, but with the limited roster, he had to go scoring heavy.  "Defense is definately not our strong suit, so we will be going with an aggressive team," Kato said at the presser.  With the slowing of Prairies former 2-way studs, Jonathan Toews, Ryan Getzlaf, and Duncan Keith, there's a clear line between offense and defense.  "We definately have the firepower to compete, so we will see how it goes," he stated ending the presser. 

Kato had decided to go with a veteran group, leaving notables like Nolan Patrick off the roster.  Here's what the roster looks like:

 

  LW C RW
1st Line Jaden Schwartz Jonathan Toews Mark Stone
2nd Line Alex Steen Ryan Getzlaf Jordan Eberle
3rd Line Patrick Marleau Brayden Schenn Micheal Ferland
4th Line Darren Helm Travis Zajac Blake Comeau
Reserves Tyler Bozak Jordan Martinook Max Domi
       
  LD RD  
1st Pair Mathew Dumba Ryan Murray  
2nd Pair Duncan Keith Brayden McNabb  
3rd Pair Travis Hamonic Joel Edmundson  
Reserves Luke Schenn Ryan Pulock Braydon Coburn
       
  G    
Starter Devan Dubnyk    
Backup Darcy Kuemper    
Reserve James Reimer    

Kato did take a shot at another roster saying, "At least this isn't the Maritimes roster."
