I'd like to see Lemieux make the team as a fourth liner, just for the entertainment factor of him getting opponents off their games.

I think it is tough to bring guys like Lemieux to international tournaments. Refs are a bit quick at times to call penalties on agitating players, and in a short tournament it can really backfire. I think he is a very good player, however.
