Of course they weren't. They were all on the U23 team, many of them hadn't even been drafted in 2014 and all of them except MacKinnon and Rielly weren't close to cracking NHL lineups.
Auston Matthews was 16 when those Olympics began. McDavid had just turned 17. Ekblad turned 18 the day of the Opening Ceremony.
