Politics played into picking binnington and hill over more deserved thompson. Valiquette went on record saying deboer and Cassidy had issues with thompson having both coached him in Vegas and made sure he was left off. If goaltending fails, goalie selection will be further scrutinizedYou could nitpick one or two selections on this team and the early day the roster had to be named had some influence in that, but by and large if this team loses it won’t be because of the roster. The WJC on the other hand was insanity, leaving off probably 7/8 players in favour of guys who has no business being there
