Team Europe remains one of the most intriguing of the eight teams in the tournament, and it will be intriguing to see what general manager Miroslav Satan does with his remaining forward selections, given that there are a handful of emerging young players who could fit nicely with this hybrid squad. The squad's first 16 selections were revealed in March, with the final seven to be named on May 27. My final seven picks are in bold.
