Cirelli over Scheifele was certainly a choice. Mackinnon and Mcdavid just have not jived together and it seems because they both are puck dominant C’s and occupy the same space on the ice. Splitting them up and putting them with complimentary guys like Wilson and Hyman (I know ew) would’ve probably worked better. Stacking them on one line with Crosby and overplaying them is a very Oileresque thing to do. Canada has too much talent for them to play with, they do not need their 3 best C’s on one line. In the past has won with roster depth and rolling 4 lines. Hockey Canada having a horrible 2 months of roster selections.
