How did you watch the WJC then come to the conclusion that there are better players in the OHL..... Honestly how? Power and Mactavish looked literally unstoppable at that level. Here they don't even stand out. It's quite obviously way way way faster.I think its a young mans game. I wouldn't take an entire team of world jrs but I'd take a lot more youth than they did.
Overagers like McBain, Ho-Sang, Levi, Knight, Staal, O'Dell are guys i'd be fine with. But when you have so many vets that you're relying on Staal to be a first liner, you should probably look else where for scoring.
Personally, I've seen better guys in the OHL than some of the players that Canada have out there. Maybe theres better vets that didn't get an invite but based on what I'm seeing, its hard to see why Canada picked someone like Barberio when theres a handful of better guys in Junior / NCAA that would probably be better.
I do think Levi should be playing and more ice time should be rewarded for players that are playing well but let's not go over board here.
