I will gladly let Finland have those two for Canada to get back MacKinnon, Monahan, Reilly and Wilson.
But that is the nature of the tournament and not wanting to make it an issue as to why Canada lost just to point out some of the difficulties that Hockey Canada has in building the team year after year.

Bingo....and as an aside, Reilly is really what this team was missing the most IMO. A real bonafide stud D-man in his "prime" for an under 20 tourney. Ekblad isn't there yet, and the other guys just aren't reliable enough.
