Who do you think will make it on D for Team Canada? I know Harrington and Hamilton are a lock, and probably Rielly as well, but I don't know after than. It would be nice for Murray to not be hurt, but oh well.
Ryan Murphy and Griffin Reinhart would make the team.

The D seems pretty locked up at this point. Hamilton, Rielly, Ouellet, Harrington, Reinhart and most think Murphy will be there because of his coach. The 7th spot will be a battle between Dumba, Sproul, and an outside chance at Corrado although I think Sproul and DUmba are ahead of him.
Murphy isnt necessarily a lock though, hes small and for an offensive guy not exactly putting up a tonne of offense. His coach is coaching though so we'll see. Sproul might actually be the better option for an offensive dman. 4 less points in about 15 less games played and more goals then Murphy. Hes also 6'4 and can play physical.
No love for Pouliot, I see...

Reinhart looked bad in that WHL-KHL series, but he will still probably make the team anyway. A dark horse could be Pouliot, but I don't he has the defensive ability to play. We already have Rielly to be an offensive monster, we don't need 2.
RNH isn't going...
Jo will make it... If not there's a big mistake there.
What makes you think that?
No he didnt. What a bunch of garbage. You know who did look bad though? Your darkhorse Pouliot.

Id rewatch game 6, he got beat probably 5-6 times clean, then again, the whole defense did in that game. They were BRUTAL, I really hope a game like that doesn't happen this year, if it does against the Russians, I am afraid we will have the same fate as last year.
Pouliot giveaways caused two goals IIRC. One blatant one for sure. Reinhart didnt get beat 5-6 times clean. That's hyperbolic nonsense. The whole team played poorly in that game, but picking out Reinhart specifically is completely ridiculous.
Well he will be missing this weekend's games in the AHL to rest his shoulder. I'm not sure why he would miss AHL games unless there is a problem. No point to rest his shoulder for the WJC when it's still so far away.
