Schneider in net, Faulk and Yandle on defence, and Kessel up front. Different coach and they might've put up a decent fight in this tourney.
Problem with USA is the limited elite centres they have at their disposal. Canada's centre depth is insanely good in comparison. Their wings are fine, but they need enough quality Cs to bump Kesler down to the 3rd line. Kesler is past his prime imo.
New time around they'll have Gaudreau and Eichel at their disposal, which will help
