Well, no matter what you're going to leave some elite players off the Team Canada roster but still have a quality team. Hard to look at any of the picks and say they totally don't belong.
Still, Carter was a big left field pick for me. I'm guessing it was because he's a natural goal scorer? Would have gone with Neal if you want to go that route though and stick him with Crosby and Kunitz (showed chemistry when Malkin was out). Nash and Marleau are both "meh picks" as well. Would have taken Giroux and St. Louis with those spots instead.
Like the D and the goalies, aside from maybe Crawford getting thrown into the mix, were pretty much a given.
