You don't think a Best on Best USA team has Johnny on it? Or even Eichel? Saad?
Canada and the Euro teams are hurt less than the US, but limiting even one team from taking their best players means the legitimacy of this tournament is diminished.

The USA team doesn't have Phil Kessel on it, so I don't know what to make of the way they selected their team.
Team Europe removes a bunch of teams nobody wants to see outside of their own small republics. And much like I'm opposed to starting World War 3 if Russia decides to annex Slovakia, I'm okay sacrificing that country's hockey team to ensure I don't watch Switzerland clog up the neutral zone for sixty minutes.
