Is there something going on between baertchi and Swiss ?  Dudes probably clearly better then any Swiss player out there right now, but not on the roster ?

He was supposed to participate but then his agent turned his selection down (before his late season injury).  The reason given was because his contractual situation was still unclear.

Just now, DeNiro said:

He was cut once a few other players became available.

 

Douche move by the coach.

ahhhhh, didn't know that, thanks Deniro.  Sucks for Granlund, but at least he was good enough for serious consideration.

I dont blame Jalonen, a coach has an obligation to ice the best roster. They did not know that Florida and Minnesota would get eliminated in the first round. Had Granlund played better in the exhibition games, he would probably be still there. Every year as teams get eliminated players join the roster at the worlds, so it's not uncommon for a player to lose a spot to someone better.

 

The only problem here was Granlund was promised a spot but I am not sure Jalonen deserves all of the blame there. When you get the coaching gig you have to follow to protocol and the Finns chose to promise players spots to get them there. Had they not done so there is a chance a number of their guys may not have even shown up.
