Agreed, Vlasic is also great. I kind of left that as a given. My post was more in reference to Team Canada. They already have Vlasic on the team, to me the last three spots come down to Gio, Brodie, Burns and Subban. Before I would have said both Flames guys should go, with the toss up being Burns vs Subban. Now, I would be fine if Burns was chosen over the others.
