Giordano not playing for family reasons I can understand, but not sure what Brodie's reasoning would be. He needs to play in the World Championships in order to get a chance to play in the World Cup imo.

It’s pretty clear Mark Giordano isn’t planning to go to the world championship.
Nor does it appear Canada can count on the services of T. J. Brodie, which makes for an interesting debate as people wonder if such decisions would cost either – or both – a shot at the World Cup squad.
The Calgary Flames captain insists his decision hasn’t been finalized, but it’s evident he’d rather team up with his son next month at home than, say, P.K. Subban in Russia.
“Yeah, it’s a tough decision but the first thing that comes to mind is your family,” said the 32-year-old defenceman.
