Benn would be a much better choice and fit for the tournament than either Lucic or Marchand and although a natural Center Spezza is likely better as a converted winger over those two as well.
I would take Benn and Spezza over those two, Eberle, Ladd, Neal and Kunitz easily. But expect all those guys to be early cuts when the time comes anyways so likely not a big deal.
Ladd, Lucic and Marchand especially odd selections other than to maybe reward Ladd for going to the WHC recently and reward the Bruins for SFC runs lately.
