Maybe. Out of curiosity, which players right now would project to be on a primary Team Canada roster if not for their youth?
Nathan McKinnon
Connor McDavid
Aaron Ekblad
Dougie Hamilton
Sean Monahan
Ryan Johansen
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Jonathan Huberdeau
Ryan Strome
Morgan Rielly
Mark Scheifele
That's just a very quick cursory glance at rosters this morning, so I'm sure I'm missing or overlooking a handful. How many out of that limited group would be true contenders to make a Team Canada roster come September 2016? Maybe McKinnon (with a rebound season), McDavid, Ekblad, and Johansen...but I think that's a big maybe.
