Better individual players is not equal a better team. Just becuse Canada have better players then Sweden does not mean they are a better team. Or vice versa. A team is defined by so many factors. Canada is not entering this tournament as the "best team" either. The champions have that title. Is Canada the champions? No. They are dont even carry a silver medal to this tournament. Canada is not best. They were best for many years but those players are not here now.
