So, here are my suggestions:
The Secretary of Defense -- Nick Lidstrom is still the favorite, but a group of fast approaching youngsters are catching up to him.
Minister of Foreign Affairs -- I want an imposing figure, but also someone that can use his worldly knowledge to get the job done, therefore my choice is Zdeno Chara.
Press Secretary -- E.J. Hradek, co-host of NHL Live. E.J. has the experience and can "sit on the fence" when needed.
Supreme Court Candidates -- Brendan Shanahan and Bill Guerin. Both men have the needed experience and professionalism to do the job.
Internal Affairs Administrator -- The person needed to fill this position has to be able to have his ear to the ground, yet, must keep everything to himself. My recommendation is Bill Daly.

Gossip Control Manager -- Many bloggers are up for this job along with a few main stream media types, most of whom reside in Canada.
The "Wow" Factor Group -- When the economy is tough, citizens need an outlet to forget about their daily troubles. I present, Pavel Datsyuk, Roberto Luongo, Sidney Crosby and Rick Jenerette. These men will help you through the day, just sit back and enjoy their talent.
The new country motto -- "If all else fails, find some ice, put on the blades, and just skate. Your mind will become clear, your physical fitness level will improve and your outlook on life will never be better."
