The first look at Team North America's 16-man roster reaffirms what we've suspected all along: This team is going to be fast, it's going to be skilled and there's a pretty strong possibility they will knock off one of the world powers at some point in this tournament, if not win it all.

Biggest surprise: J.T. Miller, New York Rangers
All the big names are here: Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, Brandon Saad, Aaron Ekblad, Nathan MacKinnon, and more.
