So far it sems that way.
The Ruskies didn't list Kuznetsov as being invited.
Kerins, Beck and Poirier not invited.
The D is pretty deep for Team Canada, so Poirier was a long shot, even though he is killing it in the CHL.
Thought they might include Sargeev on Russia, but they prefer guys that are playing overseas.
He wouldn't even get a sniff anyway.
Now, our Olympic hopefuls list is another story.
Ruzicka, Backlund, Markstrom, Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Mangiapane, Tanev (long shot), Vladar, Valimaki (questionable right now), Coleman (long shot), Hanifin (50/50), and Zadorov (medium long shot). I think both Ras and Kylington are not on the projected list. No confirmation that they won't be, just not right now.
