Basically, who are the 14 best forwards, 7 best defensemen, and 3 best goalies? There are plenty of guys that are at least equal to most of the players on Team Canada, it's just that Canada has more of them than other countries.
Ok, Crosby is the consensus #1 guy. After that? There's no real objective way of determining all that much. 17 of the top 30 scorers last year aren't Canadian. It's 1, 2, 3 point differences between most guys.
Is anyone going to say they couldn't make at least a decent case for a guy like Pavelski? He's got the 5th most goals over the last 2 seasons. You could make a decent case for him over some of the guys on Canada, and Canada wouldn't even miss a beat.
