Lou isn't trying to sabotage Team Canada, he just has no idea how to manage prospects.
- didn't deal one of his many D to make room for Dobson, opting to scratch him most games instead of returning him to junior
- signed a 19YR old Wahlstrom and brought him to the AHL after he put up a whopping 8G and 19P in 36GP in college
- decided to have an 18YR old Holmstrom jump from the SuperElit to the AHL, where he's predictably struggling
- brought Skarek over the pond after one mediocre SM-Liiga season to be the ECHL starter/AHL 3rd goalie at 20
Don't know why anyone would have expected him to release Dobson after decisions like this.
