That's a good point. If I remember correctly in 2010 Seabrook was chosen based on the intention to have him play with Keith, and by the end of the tournament he wasn't taking much of a regular shift and looked a little out of place.

So if it's not chemistry/experience factoring in I'd have to retract my previous statement and say that Gio is more deserving of the call. Taking into consideration what both guys have to work with on their respective NHL teams, there's no doubt Gio is having the more impactful season. Had he not missed time I'd say there's a good chance he'd have made the team outright.
