Not a chance. The american team gets overrated everytime theres a best on best. Canada has the best defense out of any team by far. Pesce nor slavin would make team canada. Neither would hughes. Canada wins bcuz they have a plethora of 2 way dmen that can slot in anywhere at anytime. No one else has that.
Most of these guys are #1 dmen on their teams or about to be.
