I'm kinda glad that he isn't playing. Not because I don't think he belongs but based on how long it has taken him to heal. Even if the doctor said he can go, I would still question his readiness, because he hasn't played yet. Do we need a guy refinding his game to be playing on the Olympic roster? Yes a Stamkos at 65% is better than many players, but the options to replace him aren't going to hurt Canada's chances.

What it really boils down to, is I'd rather Stamkos heal properly instead of risking further injury that could put a damper on how well his career could go.
