Canada 's 4 Nations Face-Off tournament is taking place on Feb. 12-20 .

The NHL has eschewed its usual All-Star Game in favor of this tournament.

Each nation announced six players that would be on the team back on June 28 .

The roster itself is bound to contain a surprise (or two ) so instead of a full-blown projection, we're breaking down each position.

Brad Marchand , Sam Bennett and Sam Bennett could be contenders for Team Canada .

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is weathering a mediocre start to the season.

Mathew Barzal is a point-per-game player who seems to single-handedly keep the Islanders afloat.

Travis Konecny will get a long look.

Stuart Skinner would have been an obvious selection for Canada after the way he helped drag Edmonton to Game 7 of the Cup Final last season .

Cam Talbot is an intriguing name in the mix as well; he's posted decent numbers early on for the Red Wings .
