And how do guys like Pelech and Bigras get on ahead of a guy like Nurse?
These teams have be built full of elite players. Not 2-3 lines and then fill in with energy players and role players.

Canada didn't have 4 elite scoring lines this year.
Pelech and Bigras make it over Nurse because it is for the very large part a 19 year old tournament and Nurse hasn't been great so far this season in the OHL. Throw in his game not being a great fit for international ice or reffing and it really isn't that surprising he isn't there.
Bigras is 18 but from what i read about there games it seems like he was a better fit for international hockey than Nurse was. But I am sure there are Ontario posters that can say more about each guy.
