Have to agree with "TheFlamingC" here, many coaches do not want d-men playing on their off-side. Now, I'm not saying a country would pick a second-pairing AHL guy instead of an NHL guy playing his off side but, all things being equal, many coaches now prefer sticking to d-men playing their strong side.
