To be clear, my issue isn't with Team USA not taking Ryan. It's with Burke's idiotic statement that he wished he had drafted Johnson over Ryan. If he really thinks that then that's a damning indication of his hockey knowledge.
Jack Johnson sucks and Bobby Ryan while maybe not an elite top line players is categorically the better pick.
The fact that Burke thinks otherwise is concerning for reasons I've listed above.
And wrt to Sylvanfan, yes Faulk's inclusion is puzzling as well, especially over someone like Buff, EJ or Yandle. I have Faulk in my pool so I watch him somewhat closely. He's a nice distributor, someone they'll probably play on the PP mostly but he's still very green. Definitely not a definitive improvement over those other guys.
