At this exact moment, Bogosian is a good comparison to Karlsson. Didn't light the world on fire last year - but he will...and he's good enough to play Olympic Hockey, but who on Team USA will they take out?

Even with the questionable ones out, Bogosian would still be on the outside looking in.
Same kind of situation, yeah. I think Bogosian is going to end up a bigger, nastier Karlsson though.
You forgot Keith Ballard on your list, as well.
And with Fowler coming up, USA's defence is going to be good for quite a while.
