I don't think Schiefele is going to be on this team with how bad he is defensively and there are players who are similar offensively. The way I see is:
Man this team is just ridiculous any way you slice it.
It really is. A good medal game of Canada vs USA will be amazing hockey to watch. The way I see it is Canada got the better forwards, they're about even on defence and USA got the better goalies.

I think it's been so long since Sochi that every team just sounds ridiculous to me. Sweden with Hedman, Klingberg, Dahlin, Pettersson, Forsberg, Zibenajad, W. Karlsson, Russia with the Kucherov, malkin, Ovi, Sergachev, Svech, Panarin, Finland with Barkov, Aho, Heiskanen, Raantenen, it's going to be fun.

Hockey has grown all around the world. It getting popular in Great Britain, and all over the world. This will probably be one of the most balanced tournaments in years. Years prior (2016 World Cup and 2014 Socchi) Canada could literally Mordern Warfare 2 pub stomp teams into the goal medal game.
I would put Price as starter and Barzal and take out Tavares
Personally the only reason I can see Tavares making this team and actually playing is that he's been absolutely clutch for Canada on the big stage. Still remember the '09 juniors

Honestly my main thinking is that he is one of a handfull of left handed forwards which might give him an edge since he can slot in on the wing
Toews? Is he even going to play again? Marner and Schiefele as LWs?
If Toews comes back next year I feel like hes earned the right to be there in some capacity. The lines are a bit of a mess, I just tried to put together some guys who might have some chemistry
