You could argue that with the incredible depth that the team has you can afford to hold a spot for him and if he isn't up to speed you are not losing anything. I still think he is young enough that if he didn't make this team he will make future olympic squads, use the spot for a healthy body.

Holding a spot for the best pure goal scorer in Canada, when he is expected to be healthy in time is a surprise to you?
