Melnyk: So, I'm going to give Sweden my best player at the risk of him being injured, beating our Canadian team. That doesn't make sense. Maybe if it was a Canadian going to play for Canada, maybe. But right now, I have no, it doesn't make any sense for our franchise (and) it's not fair to our fans if we were to lose him, God forbid, into a year like this to an injury in the Olympics.
