Aside from Fox and Hughes, who on the projected U.S. defense is small?

Not terrible, no shocking omissions
Can't believe they didn't name me
Not taking PP1 from Makar and he doesn’t defend better than any of the others. Just doesn’t fit a team that doesn’t need an offensive defencemanNo Bouchard is the right move. Hyman would have been there if he started the year off similarly to last year but he's shit the bed after a fantastic year last year.
He tilts the ice and plays all situations. He is as well rounded as you get. Cirelli isn't a bad choice, just an uninspired one. Suzuki brings way more
Fine for Oilers brass as it likely knocks 500k at least off his AAV on an extension.
Noah Dobson is having a shit season though yikes, -9 on a defensive Islanders team that has a great goalie, that's horribad and only 11 points in 26 games.
I get omitting Hanilton but Weegar was a huge missSanheim and Parayko over Weegar and Hamilton is lunacy.
I think he provides more options and dynamic value. You never know where the chemistry will be lacking when they hit the ice. Suzuki is a good insurance policyHes a good player, but he doesn't dramatically increase Canadas chances of winning, and excluding him does not mean they're a worse off team.

Also get to cheer for Canadian citizen (as of 2016) Daniel Alfredsson as a Swedish coach.Myles Fee, a Canadian, is one of the assistant coaches for Sweden. If things go bad for you guys, then you have to cheer for Sweden. Because of Myles Fee.
You had me agreeing, all the way up to Tanev the puck mover.Team Canada typically leans into defense and risk-free games so not surprised Bouchard didn't make the cut.
I would've taken Weegar or Tanev over Parayko though. They can do the same job defensively while being better at moving the puck.
Bouchard is no good to this team if you don't have a powerplay to stick him on. Makar will get number 1 powerplay. He's a smart snub.No Bouchard is the right move. Hyman would have been there if he started the year off similarly to last year but he's shit the bed after a fantastic year last year.
