He's used to coaching a very expensive, 18 million over the salary cap, top heavy, all-star team. This is a good fit.

He has also been coaching three of the best Russians and the best Swede...and a few Americans/Czechs.

Sending most of the top half of their roster will make a three-peat tough for TBL.


Who's the GM?

Seems like a good pick.

I like Cooper - his path to the NHL was pretty interesting, definitely and underdog's tale...

Barry trots should be head coach. What he’s done with a team with so few stars in the last few years is remarkable

2014 was boring enough. No one needs that again.

Yup. Why would we send athletes to a country that is holding other citizens hostage.

Total boycott for many reasons

Michael Spavor just sentenced to 11 years in a Chinese prison on trumped up charges of espionage.

EDIT. It seems there may be the possibility of a deportation order as part of a negotiated settlement between China and the US.

Don't forget about Robert Schellenberg's death sentence being upheld a day earlier. Next up, Michael Kovrig's sentence.

When looking for a coach for Team Canada, I am not sure that 'done a great job with a team with few stars' is at the top of the list of requirements/skills.
