Explains part of the reason DD was named but another part of it is (as heard on the radio earlier today) is apparently he is one of the best in the league in shot suppression this year. I have no idea where you find such stats but apparently the management puts lots of importance on it.
As for the Bennett snub....Wilson will fill that role pretty well i would think. He is a scary dudewho can really play the game anyway needed.
Hagel and Cirrelli are obviousCooper picks but they also are good PK guys and you need a few of those types as well....lookin at it im guessing the PK pairs will be Stone/Marner and the TB duo.
An embarrassment of riches though among Canadian players....there was always going to be deserving guys left off.

Yeah. The “B squad” team Canada roster would still be a really good team. First crack at it and I’m sure I’ll be missing some good players:
Barzal-Bedard-Scheifele
Geekie-Johnston-Jarvis
O’Reilly-Kadri-Konecny
Huberdeau-Bennett-Tavares
Chychrun-Weegar
Schaefer-Ekblad
Dobson-Tanev
Blackwood
Wedgewood
