Are you sure he's on the team? I’m confused… you listed David Backes but he’s not listed on the roster you link to. Are you sure he’s on the team?

Backes was added yesterday (after the morning 18 player roster release) so that would make 19 by my count, including the goalies. One article noted "The team still has four spots to fill before the tournament starts, plus the team can add an additional two players, under IIHF rules, after the third game of the tournament." 16 skaters plus the 3 goalies would indicate 4 spots remaining before the tourney starts. Should be interesting to see who is added over the next few days. Should be an interesting tourney with all the young guys and the goalie situation, but I like the addition of the young talent.
