Well, they claimed they only chose him because he didn't have a job at the time and they figured he'd be able to devote time it. I wouldn't bet on Torts not getting fired and being between jobs the next time a national team event rolls around.

To be honest, I think in general people who believe heads will roll over this are being overly optimistic. The loss to Team Europe seems to be being blamed on 1) Patrick Kane's mistake and 2) Lazy backchecking. Which means they'll probably decide having any skill players is stupid and they need more heart and soul.
