Interesting that we’re seeing the same complaints from fans about the projected rosters for the Canadian Junior, Canadian Four Nations, and U.S. Four Nations teams - talented stars being left off the rosters.
The explanation could be that the dozen or so GMs and coaches responsible for the choices are all stupid. Alternatively, they’re not building all-star teams, they’re building out rosters to fit roles. Scoring lines, checking lines, PK specialists, etc.
I guess we’ll see if the strategy is more effective than just taking the most talented, highest-scoring players available and putting them together on the ice.
