Olli is believed to be at Finland's camp on a tryout.

.. im hearing that Tryamkin is still with the Russian National Team, and is in a tounament this weekend, apparently playing against Pettersson on Saturday. 

Hopefully some Canuck Brass there.

Exhibition games. Pettersson will play Saturday/Sunday I believe someone told me.

It is said Pettersson was on a line today with Jacob Nilsson and Mikael Backlund 

 

So:

 

Nilsson - Backlund - Pettersson

 

If he makes the team there is a fair chance he may be paired up with Calgarys center Backlund.  There is a video of him on the ice along with the interviews at the link below:

You could form an almost complete competitive team out of just the players that declined.

Finland has added Mikael Granlund.  Koivu and Vatanen have declined.  Portland Winterhawks' D Henri Jokiharju (CHI) has also been added (probably try-out).

 

Niederreiter, Mueller (NJD), Andrighetto (COL) will play for Switzerland.  Hischier and Malgin (FLA) have not been released by their teams.

 

Hischier played all season with a chronic hand/wrist injury - won't require surgery but needs 2 to 4 weeks of immobilisation.  Zacha (CZE) suffered a ligament injury in his hand and won't be able to participate either.

^  Those are the players travelling to Denmark but not all of them will be registered to the tournament.  Some are simply there as reserve.  They want to keep spots open for the NHLers still in the playoffs, which will keep some players on that list from participating.  Teams can add players as the tournament progresses but it's limited to at most 22 skaters + 3 goalies.
