Keep in mind Schiefele did not.

yes, and the US benching him was a mistake

 

[Regal]

Hard to say. He’s better than players that did but they were obviously less concerned about just taking the best players. But he seems like he could be a fit with either McDavid or MacKinnon.

I'm with you. He's better than Konecny, and Scheifele wasn't selected as they were pretty set at centre.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Definitely.

Team Canada needed another proven goal scorer other than Reinhart.

Connor would have been a good fit as another winger to move up and down.

 

[Foppberg]

He'd be on the fringe like TK/Jarvis.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Definitely.

Connor doesn't even lead his NHL team in goals, canadian mark scheifele does (and is 3rd in the league).

 

[Killer Orcas]

In my opinion he'd definitely start for Canada. USA made a big mistake starting Kreider instead of Connor.

...Connor is ONE goal behind (and has 7 more assists)...and Sheifele SHOULD have been on Canada's Team...of course Connor would have been on it had he been born in Canada...

 

[JianYang]

Unquestionably, yes.

 

[Rude Dog]

For sure. He is a great player. As a Canadian I was laughing when they put Kreider in for him. Unless he was hurt that is a ridiculous tradeoff

How could you leave him out? I mean, guys like Marchand made it.

 

[olli]

Yes no doubt, he had a bad tournament but replacing him with Kreider made no sense. He’s no doubt better than Konecny and Jarvis.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Unfortunately, he was...

Canada left off some very good players, so if Connor is in consideration, it wouldn't be over those other names first.

So based on that I say no.

Marchand had no business on the team and was a legacy pick

Jarvis and Konecny are RW'ers.

Connor plays LW. So no, you're targeting the wrong players. Also everyone's issue is with Sullivan and it should be talked about a lot more. I think everyone should make it trend on X/twitter.
