I also wonder how much better Cain/LeDuc can get... I worry they may have basically hit their plateau early. I would not actually rule out S/B unless it turns out they too just got to an early plateau.
The thing is... whoever gets the Olympic spot has to skate both team event skates. And frankly SK/K vs someone else could mean the difference between a medal or not... or a better medal. So i think they really should send SK/K for the sake of the team event.
Worlds.... we have two spots... we can be more creative there.
Wait. Have Cain/LeDuc even been together a year yet? I don't remember.
But they are still a new team improving very rapidly.
