Very concerned this team isn’t good enough, hope I’m wrong.
Hard to pick for sure, but definitely a handful of head scratchers.

I'm not surprised about Scheifele - Hockey Canada doesn't seem to rate him very highly.
The Bedard injury gave the selection committee the opportunity not to take him without huge backlash, but I don't think they wanted to take him either.
With the smaller ice surface and with how team USA is going to be constructed I'm not surprised at all that Tom Wilson is there.
I just don't get Cirelli or Horvat over Bennett.
If we look at the last two seasons as a whole including playoffs, then Bennett has been more impactful than those guys.
