The exclusion of Sam Bennett from the Canadian Olympic team is questionable given his proven utility and big-game experience.

“I think it's crazy. I mean, obviously I would probably take out Celli if that if that was the case. I think Coupe being his coach obviously adds a little more weight, but Benny would be my guy.”

Tom Wilson should be on the Olympic team because he provides a physical and offensive impact similar to Sam Bennett.

“And so if you're going to leave Bennett off like the next best thing in regards to that kind of player is Tom Wilson. Now they had a cheat code with him. They got to use him at Four Nations to John Cooper and see where he fits in”

He expresses enthusiasm about potentially playing with linemates like Auston Matthews and Clayton Keller.

“I feel like I've got some pretty good chem with Kels. Um, we've played together in World Juniors this last Worlds, skate together in the summer. Um, I feel like we play really well. He's obviously looking to dish all the time. I'm looking to shoot.”
