Would any of you seriously take any of those guys over Kunitz who has instant chemistry with the best player in the tournament and is SIXTH in the league in overall scoring?

I'd take all three of them ahead of Kunitz because all three are better at hockey than Kunitz is. But that isn't really the point, because Claude Giroux, MSL and Thornton aren't on the team, and we're not picking just for position here. It's been a given since the start that natural centers would play the wing.
So, yes, I DO think that Crosby would be more productive with John Tavares on his left wing than Kunitz! I know, shocking, isn't it? This proposal would have the added bonus of allowing Canada to ice elite centre Claude Giroux elsewhere in the lineup, too!
They left three of their best players at home for three guys who are, it's not even debatable, worse at hockey. That was a mistake.
