Replace a Lightning with a Lightning, go with St. Louis.

No, plenty of players better than him.

If Yzerman passes over St. Louis a second time he's a fool.

If he continues to progress the way he had this season, he'll be a lock for the next Olympics, but we have lots of guys ahead of him. I would say it would be pretty rare for an 18 year old to make it to the Olympics for Canada.

Hopefully its Giroux
Reading the reservations about Hall is truly hilarious and blind homerism...is he next on my list, not even close.....
But talking about giftwrapping chances to the opposition, or being terrible defensively without saying the same about a player like Neal is a ridiculous oversight.
Clearly have never watched Neal play

He plays the game like a ######ed squirrel.

Gotta be Marty St.Louis for many reasons:
- He went on a tear after he got snubbed the first time
-He's a natural winger which will be a big boost because Canada already has a lot of centreman.
-His age and experience could be huge the deeper they go in the tournament.
-He deserves to be there based on points and his play.
Pick Marty!
It has to be between St.Louis and Giroux. With an edge to St.Louis

Staal is having a terrible year. No thanks. Any one of the other 3 is a great choice.

Wonder if the decision at this point will come down to left versus right handed shot... No doubt stamkos was going to be on the number one powerplay unit as the one-timer on the left wing. St. Louis and Neal are both left handed shots while giroux is a right handed shot who has a good one timer.
I would say James Neal is Canada's second best natural sniper. St. Louis is probably the best playmaking winger in the game.
Giroux is a good mix of both and he is a right handed shot so that might make him the best choice. Honestly, the only thing going against him might be that Crosby hates him... But I doubt that would keep him off team canada. I'm sure Crosby and giroux would put aside their differences for their country.

Really hoping for Giroux, he's too good to not be there.
