They also missed a huge opportunity in their pursuit of hockey exposure in the States by not having two up and coming mega stars in Eichel and Gaudreau in a prime tournament in the North American time zones on team USA.
This would have been one hell of a talented and most importantly fun/exciting roster for casual Americans to cheer on.

There's no guarantee the peole who put this US team together would have brought Gaudreau anyways. Not enough grit.
