I'm kind of surprised Craig Anderson didn't make the roster. He has had a great season so far and has made the NHL Star of the week list numerous times, if I recall correctly. The neck injury that stuck us with Budaj (who also made an Olympic team) for a week was just bad luck.

At least we got some representation with Stastny, though. Lucky for us he didn't choose to play for Canada. That dual-citizenship of his could work to his advantage.
