Who's going to play men's hockey for Team Canada at the Olympics?

 After Tuesday's announcement of Team Canada's men's hockey coaching staff at the 2018 Olympics in South Korea, questions have arisen about who, exactly, is going to be lacing up the skates for the squad. 

To that effect, two rosters have been unveiled by Hockey Canada as each will play in different tournaments prior to the Games.

The Sochi Open, taking place from Aug. 6-9 in Russia, will mark the first pre-Olympic action for Team Canada, but the country will also play in the Tournament of Nikolai Puchkov in St. Petersburg later in August, with a different roster. Both rosters are made up almost entirely of players currently skating in Europe.

Full rosters, from TSN, are below: 

2017 Sochi Hockey Open

Forwards: Justin Azevedo, Gilbert Brulé, Brandon Buck, Kevin Clark, Andrew Ebbett, Bud Holloway, Rob Klinkhammer, Brandon Kozun, Ben Maxwell, Brandon McMillan, Eric O’Dell, Daniel Paille, Mason Raymond, Max Talbot, Linden Vey

Defence: Chay Genoway, Geoff Kinrade, Patrick McNeill, Maxim Noreau, Mat Robinson, Jonathan Sigalet, Karl Stollery

Goaltenders: Justin Peters, Kevin Poulin
 

2017 Tournament of Nikolai Puchkov

Forwards: Taylor Beck, Sean Collins, Cory Emmerton, Ryan Garbutt, Andrew Gordon, David McIntyre, Jacob Micflikier, Trevor Parkes, Marc-Antoine Pouliot, Derek Roy, Greg Scott, Paul Szczechura, James Wright

Defence: Cam Barker, Carlo Colaiacovo, Stefan Elliott, Marc-Andre Gragnani, Kevin Klein, Shawn Lalonde, Craig Schira

Goaltenders: Kevin Poulin, Ben Scrivens

There are some interesting names among the two teams. First, the former Canuck contingent is strong, with forwards Mason Raymond, Andrew Ebbett, Andrew Gordon, Brandon McMillan, Linden Vey, Derek Roy and defencemen Cam Barker, and Marc-Andre Gragnani all spending time with Vancouver at some point over their careers.

There are other inruiging names too, like former Vancouver Giant star Gilbert Brule, who retired from hockey several years ago, only to lace up the skates again in an attempt to get back to the NHL. Currently, he's putting up big numbers in the KHL.

So, who might Vancouverites have to root for on Team Canada's roster?

And did the players have more than just cups of coffee with the team? 

Gilbert Brule
Time as a Giant: 165 regular season games, plus 39 more in the playoffs.
Drink comparable: Definitely more than a java, let's call it a hefty, strongly noted IPA.   
Currently playing for: Nizhnekamsk Neftekhimik (yeah, I'm glad this isn't radio because I wouldn't know where to start on that one), where he put up 32 points in 37 games to place third on his team in scoring.  

Andrew Ebbett
Time as a Canuck: 46 regular season games and three more in the playoffs. 
Drink comparable: Medium blonde roast, thanks.   
Currently playing for: Ebbett bounced around different teams for awhile, never really finding his footing as a full-time NHLer. He's been playing with SC Bern in the Swiss League for the past two seasons. He and another player on this list, Mason Raymond, won a Spengler Cup together last year. Ebbett lead the tournament in scoring as Canada won gold. 

Andrew Gordon
Time as a Canuck: While he put in some hard time for the team's AHL affiliate at the time, the Chicago Wolves, Gordon only got a six game stint with the big club, where he registered a minus-one rating. 
Drink comparable: Can we get a sippy cup over here?
Currently playing for: Linkopings HC in the Swedish League. After a promising 2015-16 where he put up 44 points in 52 games, Gordon trailed off a bit last year, registering only 24 points in 50 contests. 

Brandon McMillan
Time as a Canuck: Eight regular season games and two in the playoffs to make it an even 10. 
Drink comparable: The vending machine is just down the hall. 
Currently playing for: Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo of the (wait for it....) KHL, obviously. OK, that's a pretty awesome name. He put up eight points in 24 games last year. 

Mason Raymond
Time as a Canuck: 374 regular season games, with 55 more playoff games. One of those playoff matches is especially notable, though not for overly positive reasons...
Drink comparable: Break out the Heineken mini keg. 
Currently playing for: Sent down from the Anaheim Ducks last year, Raymond failed to report to the AHL's San Diego Gulls, citing family reasons. He signed a contract with SC Bern of the Swiss League, ostensibly to join former international running mate Ebbett. 

Derek Roy
Time as a Canuck: 12 games in the regular season and four more in the playoffs. Remember when the Canucks went after complimentary pieces every deadline? Roy was one of those moves. Didn't work out. 
Drink comparable: A stop by the lemonade stand that's not necessarily out of the way. 
Currently playing for: Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL (why do all the Russian teams have badass names?), where the speedster registered 10 points in 34 games. He played with former Canucks draft bust Kirill Koltsov! 

Linden Vey
Time as a Canuck: 116 regular season games, augmented by one game in the playoffs. Remember how much Jim Benning loved this guy? He traded a second rounder for him, only to see him walk to Calgary two years later for nothing. 
Drink comparable: An expensive latte. 
Currently playing for: After leading the Flames' AHL affiliate in scoring, Vey signed a contract with Barys Astana of the KHL this offseason. 

Cam Barker
Time as a Canuck: 14 regular season games that marked the last time Barker, a former number three overall pick of the Blackhawks, would be seen in the NHL. 
Drink comparable: Your old friend's home-made kombucha that you take a glass of to be nice, but in your mind you already know you won't be hanging out with him again. 
Currently playing for: Astana Barys of the KHL where he's producing solid numbers. 

Marc-Andre Gragnani
Time as a Canuck: Like Barker, 14 regular season games. He's always had much more success in the AHL, a league in which he's been a top offensive defenceman whenever he's played. 
Drink comparable: Give him a shot. 
Currently playing for: Minsk Dynamo of the KHL, where he lead his team in scoring for defencemen by a wide margin last year.
