My guess is that the only way Shirokov comes back is if someone else is hurt during the olympics. Yes, that sounds pessimistic, but that is about our only chance. With Hansen back now, Wellwood healthy-ish and Bieksa proving he can rock it on wing, Shirokov just earned rookie of the year possibilities in the AHL.
That would be a healthy addition to his resume.
I think that it is up to him, if he plays well then he will make the team.
It might be due to injury, or it might be next year, but if he succeeds, then he will get a promotion.
