Seems like a really stupid gamble, and now if Dumba gets dinged they'll only have 5 D-men for the round robin. (Although I guess most of those games are against filler teams, but still....seems stupid)

Because you can have 7 defensemen on the roster and he is back in time for the games that matter, USA and medal round.
And yes he is that much better than the next guy they could have taken.
I also like to think they did it to say F you to the IIHF for the ridiculous suspension he got and show them they will still bring him no matter how much they try and hurt the Canadian team.
