So far I view it like the discussions about byfuglien or yandle for team usa. In a short tournament against the best in the world, is subban reliable enough? Have lots of defenders with similar offense and skating and I'm not sure if what he brings displaces those other guys.

Montreal thought he was reliable enough as a rookie to play him in the post-season against Crosby and Ovechkin in back to back series. And they won both of them. He's not worse than he was then. He's way better. He's one of the best defensemen in the game. Leaving him at home is overthinking the situation. He was voted best defenseman in the best league in the world six months ago. He goes, IMO.
