Canada is horrible this year. Same mistake they always make in team selection - they shoot themselves in the foot by trying to put together a role-based team and they leave too much talent off the roster. 

Top 4 points collectors in the OHL are all Canadian, none are on the team. 

A 96 point D man from last season in the O, Zayne Parekh, is not on the team.

Yeah, it's insane to me that Michael Misa, Liam Greentree, Nick Lardis, and, as you said, Zayne Parekh are not on this roster, among others.

I was tipped off to this being the case while watching SportsGrid a few weeks ago. I can't recall the guy's name, but a bettor who handicaps this tournament every year couldn't believe Canada was the favourite at some books. He said then it was a role team and that the US was a much better team.

It looks like he was likely correct, as I can't see this team going far unless Carter George plays absolutely out of his goddamn mind down the stretch and steals some games for Canada. Outside chance if they can correct their PP woes and also stop taking so many dumb penalties.

It's a bad team and those responsible for assembling it should feel bad.

It is painful to watch man. All they can generate are perimeter shots. Almost no high quality chances despite getting 40-50 shots. Easton Cowan is not a star.

Not a well-assembled roster

Thanks for pointing this out - I spent a lot of time yesterday looking at who was left off this team and it seems mind boggling.  

In addition to the names already noted, how do they leave Beckett Sennecke off the roster? 3rd overall pick in the draft last year?

Get Dave Cameron away from this program.

Get everyone who has been involved this year or last off the program. 

Did you see the goal Sennecke scored a couple of weeks ago?
