It’s honestly a pretty good roster
Cirelli over Scheifele, Sanhiem and or Doughty over Schaefer and Kuemper over Blackwood are misses imo, but I don’t think they’re game breaking mistakes.
Wilson, Horvat and Suzuki all deserved their spots, and I’m in support of Bennett being cut. In a 7 game series I’d take Sam Bennett, but he’s too much of a double edged sword for a tournament like this, as he has the capability of taking the stupidest penalties at the wrong time.
I’d be very surprised if Binnington exits the round robin as the starter, so we have to hedge our bets on Thompson.
I’m also so glad we didn’t select Bouchard. I think it would have been a near catastrophic mistake allowing him on this team.
I wonder who the injury call ups will be. Scheifle and Bedard must be close to the top of the list.
