I agree.

Although, I don't know if I'd read too much into the Team Canada invite. Poirier is a 1994 birth, so he isn't eligible for the World Juniors beyond this year. Klimchuk is a 1995 birth, so he can play next year too. I don't know how much that plays into the decision of who to invite (and they obviously make exceptions for guys like Reinhart and McDavid), but I'm sure it's at least a small factor.
