Grading the 4 Nations Face-Off rosters, plus snubs and surprises

The first-ever NHL/NHLPA 4 Nations Face-Off is many things.

It's a midseason exhibition tournament that replaces the NHL All-Star Game for a change of pace. It's an antipasto of international hockey ahead of the Italian feast of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. It's also the first time that a generation of Canadian and American superstars get to battle for bragging rights and a championship -- although Sweden and Finland will have something to say about that.

On Wednesday, those four nations reveal their rosters for the 4 Nations Face-Off, taking place from Feb. 12-20 in Montreal and Boston. The U.S. and Canada will announce their rosters at 7 p.m. ET, while Finland's and Sweden's reveals arrived earlier in the day. Some of the names are very expected, and some of the selections are a bit surprising.

Here's how the rosters grade out -- at each position group and overall -- and which NHL players might be feeling snubbed by their home nations after these roster reveals.
