Giroux and even Seguin could have made the team over a couple of their selections IMO. Seguin and Benn have unreal chemistry.

There's no blind hate, it is what it is. A great trade for St. Louis and a good one for Calgary. Bowmeester cannot be the go to guy on his pairing, but he is a world class complimentary piece. In Calgary he was paid and brought in to be the man, the go to guy...........he was not up to the task. In St. Louis, he ride shotgun on the top pairing, which is clearly what he's best suited for.
He will get to do the same on Team Canada, so it's a good pick. Only question mark is will he perform under the pressure, time will tell.
