As soon as you start building your team around a single player, you aren't building it properly.
Crosby is incredible and you want to support him as best you can, but you simply can't take lower tier linemates because one player has chemistry with them.
IF Canada is going to do something like that I'd prefer they take Sharp and Seabrook to play with Toews and Keith far more than taking Kunitz to play with Crosby.
Put Crosby with whoever isn't going on the team. Build lines around him with a rag-tag group of misfits who don't gel elsewhere. Worked ok for Canada last time.
Love Kunitz as a player, but there are so many players ahead of him on the depth chart for Canada that I think it would be a real travesty to see him selected for the team.
