Yzerman steps aside...wont be going to Italy

As per Darren Dreger and sportsnet.ca.

Yzerman told Sportsnet, "I talked to Wayne the other night and told him I didn't feel I was playing well enough to hold one of 13 spots."

He added, "I'm very grateful for past opportunities representing my country but there is too many good players playing too well for me to hold a spot on the roster."

With all due respect to Yzerman, I am glad that he withdrew his name. He is a helluva player, but Canada has lot of other C's and we really hard gonna have a hard time keepin under anyway...so THANK YOU AGAIN STEVIE!!
