2) there will be other Olympics after this one, and part of the process is getting some young guys there, in order to gain experience so they are ready to lead next time.
IMO, there is room on the roster for Bedard and Schaufer - and maybe even Geekie

I think the usual process will be to get these guys into other tournaments between Olympics (4 Nations etc). Or the World Cup back in the day.
I think Bedard would be there but for the injury. Schaefer - I just don't think they figure an 18 year old is ready.
