Monahan did not make either analyst's (Eric Duhatschek and Dom Luszczyszyn) Canada A team, as a starter or an extra. But he was on the fourth line of the Canada B team. Looking at the names and lines laid out like that, it's hard to argue with the choices. Nobody but a wild-eyed Flames homer is going to choose Monahan over a Stamkos, Point, or Couturier. Even the B team is stacked with guys like Giroux, Couture, Seguin, and Toews.
Giordano made Canada's team. Gaudreau and Tkachuk made Team USA. Lindholm made team Sweden.
