			Did Chia just keep Hamilton off the initial roster because he didn't want to name 3 Flames? There's no logical way he doesn't make the team.

I would suggest they'll name Keith, Weber, Doughty, and Pietrangelo today. 
 
Subban, Vlasic, Gio, Brodie, Burns, and Seabrook will all be in conversation for the last 3 spots that get announced in June.

Assuming they do the same thing as last time, an even number of righties and lefties, at least one of Gio or Brodie should make it.
   
 Righties: Doughty, Weber, Pietrangelo, Subban? Burns?
   
 Lefties: Keith, Brodie?, Vlasic? Giordano?

Matthews may have a shot.  The Finland coach said they are considering Laine.
