A a very solid and dependable allaround defenseman

Age hasn't slowed him down though, he's still a very skilled skater, has great positioning, great reads on plays, great passing skills, and a pretty good shot from the point. He brings tons of leadership, which this team will need given how young and inexperienced it will be. He'll definitely be given a letter, I don't see him as captain, but it's a possibility. He'll be the only returning defenceman from the 2006 gameshe also played on the silver medal team in 2002 He's won three Stanley Cups with two different teams. He had a career-year last year at 35 with 59 points, and has been one of the most consistent point producers since he broke into the NHL in 1999-2000. Expect every break out and rush to begin with a crisp pass from Rafalski.

We all know that his father was a part of the team in 1980 that performed the "Miracle on Ice" to win the gold. His uncle, Gary Suter, has also represented his country, playing in the 1998 games. Ryan will be the third Suter to play for his country in the 2010 Olympics, and could help perform Miracle Part Deux 20 years after his father did At 24, Ryan is playing in his 5th NHL season He has two goals, 11 points, and averages 24:02 of ice time. He's a good in all three zones of the ice, and will be able to make key first passes for the team. He has a pretty decent shot from the point, and is very good with his stick.

Suter gives team U.S.A a very solid, and dependable all-around defenseman. Watch a feature on the defenseman here: http:// He has been the best all around defenseman for the Devils since Scott Stevens. He's a very solid two-way player, a hard hitting defenseman, blocks shots, makes great passes out of his zone, and just lays it all out on the line for his team. He's out right now with an injury but he should be good to go before the rosters are even announced, and will be a 100 percent by the time the games come in February.

He's a fiercest competitor and will give just the kind of defense this team will need to win a medal.. At 21, Erik Johnson is playing like a veteran as oppose to a defenseman playing in just his second season in the NHL. He is certainly bouncing back well from a season-ending injury that occurred last year before training camp started. In 25, games he has four goals and 18 points, is a plus-six on a team that, overall, is playing bad defensively, and is averaging 21:59 minutes. No doubt, he will be a premier defenseman in this league, he's the best defenseman the St.Louis Blues have had since Chris Pronger, and will no doubt be the future captain of his team. Johnson will be a huge factor for this team that's looking to compete and beat teams like Canada, Russia, and defending medal champs Sweden.
