If Langlois/Hay and Kawaguchi Smirnov are both unable to compete at Skate Canada, then there would be three unfilled spots: two due to injury, and the current TBD, slated to go to Kirkland/Radford or the Moscovitches, depending on who finishes higher at Nebelhorn.
One of the vacancies due to injury would be a host spot (replacing L/H), and this team DOES NOT have to be in the top 75 on the SB list. Canada could choose from these (*=JGP eligible):
The other team from the Nebelhorn (K/R or M/M)
Brodeur/Mattatall
Pisotta/Stewart
*Velenosi/Fernandez
*Lawrence/Sweigers
*Steele/Johnson
The second replacement due to injury COULD NOT be a Canadian team, since the 3 host spots would be filled. Candidates must be on the SB list (as there are only 69 teams on the list [including splits and retirements], they are all "top 75"):
