I hope Tkachuk doesn't make the team. Not because he isn't good enough, but because I think a full year of developing more strength and his skating would be beneficial in the long run. Not to mention the benefits of developing his skills as the undisputed go to guy on London (without Marner or Dvorak) and most likely the go to guy on team USA without Matthews. We don't need Tkachuk right now, why rush him?

Gaudreau - Monahan - UFA (Backes)
Shinkaruk - Backlund - Frolik
Colborne - Bennett - Ferland
Bouma - Stajan - Chiasson
Jooris

Giordano - Brodie
Hamilton - Jokkipaka
Wideman - Wotherspoon
Nakladal

Elliot
Ortio

The following year, I think we see Jankowski push for a spot. Tkachuk and Poirier also have a good chance of making it.
