That being said, a last complete roster posted was pretty solid.

doubt it, the TSN's and Sportsnets have been totally seduced by the Oilers so called rebuilding plan.
Its funny they refer to them as high flying and offensvely powerful and yet the Oilers 5x5 are one of the worst offenses in the league, and overall are still pretty pitiful.
They hype them every year yet we see the same thing, a decent start followed by a no struggle fall to the basement, yet they come back the next year oh my god the Oilyaz are going to be so awesome this year, its their year with all of that offensive high powered talent that can't score and yeah.
So its no surprise that Pang jumps on the Schultz band wagon, and granted Shultz has done some nice things offensively like throwing the puck on the net, that's great. But his overall game and his physical strength are far from Olympic level and unless a miracle happens his development cycle to become a top 6 on a Canadian team is more likely 5 years from now and not one, and with some of the young defensemen that Canada has longer.
We heard this hype before the last Olympics with the Flames potentially putting 3 defensemen on team Canada, it shows how good these guys are at hockey.
But then again that idiot Lowe is involved with the team so you never know.
