I don't know about Staal, I think Heater is a lock, but I'll make the following prediction about Jason Spezza since he is being mentioned as a possibility:
1. At the time Gretz names the Olympic team Spezza will be leading the NHL in scoring (at worst he'll be the top scoring Canadian).
2. He'll be left off the team. Gretz made some comments about Spezza around the time he was drafted which weren't complimentary. Gretz, like any of us, has his favourites, and Spezza isn't one of them. Spezza will respond by averaging two points a game for the rest of the season and win the Art Ross.
As an aside, I think it would be worthwhile to consider naming guys who are familiar with each other and play well together i.e two of Spezza\Heatley, Thornton\Murray, LeCavalier\St. Louis.
That would be lethal!
