If you add Seabrook there is a 5th D man who is more of a shut down D man then offensively gifted, but can do a bit of both.
Subban/Letang- I agree with you are more offensively gifted and one of them should make the squad, if only to Qb the PP and play 10-12 minutes a game.
But of all the American D men the only one who is in the same class as the big 4 mentioned above is Suter. That is a huge advantage for Canada.
Slovakia has one in that class (Chara), Sweden (Maybe Karllsson but I don't think he is much better all around than Letang + Subban) and they have Kronwall but he isn't in that tier.
