Just a few more quotes:

"It's a loss with him out of the lineup right now with an injury, so certainly the idea that we'd just release him to go play in the tournament and miss him for six or seven games, that's just something we're not prepared to do," general manager Jay Feaster said Tuesday.
"We spent a lot of time talking about it and we looked at a lot of different things. Obviously it's a tremendous opportunity for a player to be on an international stage, obviously the pressure of representing Canada, and that's a good thing.
"At the same time, there's pressure being a member of the Calgary Flames Hockey Club and playing in front of our fans and trying to win games in the National Hockey League."

The 19-year-old called the decision a confidence boost.
"It's a good feeling," Monahan said. "I want to play in the NHL. That was my goal this summer and that happened. For them to want to keep me here, it gives me a little bit of confidence. Obviously it would've been an honor to wear the Canadian jersey and something I'd like to do, but that decision's not up to me and I'm happy with what happened."

And injury update:

Sean Monahan, who will miss his third straight game with a hairline foot fracture, is making progress.
"I tried a little skate this morning and my foot's getting a lot better, so I think it's going well," said Monahan, who is listed as week-to-week. "I'm just taking it day by day and it's getting a lot better. It's probably almost 100 times better than it was. It's feeling good and I'm just taking it day by day."
