The men's tournament at the 2018 Winter Olympics will be held in Pyeongchang, between 14 and 25 February 2018.

From what I understand the Canadian Olympic hockey team was playing in the summer with this roster which features a few Flames alumni:

Still, it sounds like AHL players will be allowed to participate come February of 2018:

As such, it is likely that the Canadian team might be shuffled to include the likes of Mark Jankowski or other similar AHL prospects.

Another interesting point is that the USA might send some NCAA prospects, is 19-year-old Adam Fox on the Americans radar?

Of course, Flames fans, and International members of this site might also be interested to know whether or not some of the European Flames prospects will have the opportunity to play for their country. Moreover, a handful of players in the Flames system are playing overseas and are consequently eligible for the tournament. Will they make the cut?

Mostly, I am interested in what the CP hive mind has to say about this so please discuss.
