Didn't go to bat for him?
Every report had Yzerman wanting him there and other guys voting him down.
Based on how Team Canada played and how MSL played during the Olympics it seems like a pretty good decision they had not having him on the initial roster. The team they built was awesome and MSL was very underwhelming and likely the worst forward on the team in the games he played.
