Such a non-story, I'd rather he spent time in NJD training camp getting used to his possible line mates.

Who knows if Couture was the first choice anyway? Maybe they did offer it to Hall and he just felt like too much has gone on this Summer and he passed.

Cmon dude did a little deeper. No questions about talent or skill but not in NHL top 20, not selected twice to World Cup. Where there is smoke...

If you are going by position, Hall is easily top 10 LW could even make an argument for top 5.

Canada was obviously looking for a more versatile/well-rounded player, which Couture is. he's not a gamebreaker like Hall but Canada clearly isn't into that kind of player (see Subban).

Would prefer no Devils players to play at the World Cup need everyone to remain heathy to keep the season interesting and at least keep playoff hopes alive as long as possible

Every forward on Canada's roster is a Centre who can play wing except for 1 (Perry). This is the way that Babcock likes his international rosters.

Kinda what happens when you have the deepest pool of players BY FAR to choose from and with guys like McDavid and Ekblad waiting in the wings.

I'm fine with that. Less games to be injured in.

A much bigger omission is Phil Kessel on team USA, especially when the team has Backes, Abdelkader and Palmieri. Not to mention Shattenkirk and Yandle omitted, but Jack Johnson makes the team.

It's fine. Logan Couture is a quality player on a high profile team and a good choice.

The only thing I care about is Taylor Hall wanting to play and prove people wrong.
