I see what your trying to say but with a balance of 4 good lines with enough guys that kill penalties you don’t have to play them 6 mins like ur saying you can roll your lines and not have to be so top heavy.. what’s Kassian and benn gonna do in the Olympics

Letang makes this team if healthy. He takes Weber’s spot. Peiterangelo makes it too

Benn and Kassian are there for their skillful, physical gritty style of play. Makes good 3rd and 4th line role players

I rather have Petro especially bc he's still hardcore in the winning mindset. Rielly - Petro

Bertuzzi, Kadri, and Kassian should be nowhere close to Team Canada's A team. There's plenty of great 2-way players who are also elite offensive players like Stone who should be way ahead of those guys.

Like I said usa tired that in the World Cup and they sucked that tournament so

I didn’t even notice those guys....

I agree buuut... US hockey tried adding grit into one of there teams and it ended very bad, Olympics and World Cup of Hockey/National Games are normally a lot more about skill and speed than a balanced roster.

Playing Stone on the 3rd or 4th line makes absolutely zero sense. Get your head out of your ass.

Benn, Kadri, ROR, Wilson, and Bertuzzi all possess great skill along with a very physical game.

They grabbed guys like Callahan... that’s a different story.

You grabbed guys like Kassian.. cmon the bottom 6 isn’t even a bottom 6 for Team Canada they don’t need to be top heavy and play only 2 line the bottom 6 doesn’t need to play 6 mins and if that were the case I’d rather have 6 mins of stone then 6 of Kassian.. you really think the top players battling for a gold medal wouldn’t embarrass a new role givin the achieve that goal..? You Obvs haven’t played high level hockey.. which is ok

A high level of hockey? Are you serious right now? The NHL is the highest level of hockey and teams don't operate like that even in the playoffs. Even if there was no cap. You literally think they can win with 4 lines of offensive overkill.. That never works. All Star teams like you are pretty much insist for team Canada always fail. Keep living in fantasy land.

You do know Olympics when the nhl is aloud to go is for the BEST players right?

Its actually the players the teams management picks....
