Canada complains that they don't send the best players because they are in the playoffs in their respective junior leagues. I'd argue that we aren't sending our best either. Sure, the NTDP players are talented, and they are all going to play at the next level, but how many kids turned down the NTDP that should have been playing for the red, white, and blue this past week? How would this USA squad have looked with Ben Hanowski, or healthy Zach Budish?
