Could be seventh defenceman if he did make it. I wouldn't be shocked if it is Toews as Sanheim is a better player who just doesn't play with Makar, could be Theodore who probably is not a lock. Can't imagine they don't select Morrissey.
Konecny would be a good pick even with how strong Canada is at RW. If he played on a stronger power play the last few years he would have been on more radars heading into this season. He definitely deserves it. I also recall that two or three days ago TSN has a little story about Konecny and Sanheim talking about making this roster, so there were probably rumblings then.
Also now that I think back to the 2016 WJC, maybe Sanheim will be seventh defenceman while Canada overplays Joe Hicketts all the time.
...And Dylan Strome is selected and overplayed while Konecny is relegated to the 4th line despite being one of Canada's best ES players and hardest hitter
