In 2010 Yzerman made it quite clear that they were choosing players who had chemistry with the other players. That's why Keith/Seabrook came as a combo, and same with Heatley/Thornton/Marleau. Chemistry is EVERYTHING in a short tournament like this one.

Stamkos/St Louis
Bergeron/Marchand
Keith/Seabrook
Bouwmeester/Pietrangelo

All players partnered with their linemates and who excel at the NHL level. It was a great strategy that worked last time. In fact, I expect the Americans to emulate it as Burke mentioned it last time that the Americans had a hard time competing with the chemistry the Canadians have.
