Other potential candidates:

Dan Boyle – Would be the veteran of the group if he was named, and there is a case to be made for the experience he would bring, but he is getting up there and being a minus player on a very good team doesn’t help his cause.
Dec 19, 2013; Dallas, TX, USA; Vancouver Canucks defenseman

Dan Hamhuis – His defensive ablilty is solid and it would be a toss-up between him and Vlasic for that role. Hamhuis is a Team Canada veteran (2 world juniors and 5 world championships) and is experienced on the big ice.
