WC: More players turning down invites than usual?

[theslatcher]

Felt like I should add a list of all Swedish players who declined without injury or contract issues;

Alexander Edler
Jonathan Ericsson
Erik Karlsson
Henrik Zetterberg
Niklas Kronwall

Only the first 2 names really matter; Karlsson obviously declined after the tragedy, Zetterberg & Kronwall are soon 40, and to add to that, Kronwall only has one knee left.

Buchnevich-Anisimov-Radulov
Panarin-Tkachyov- Dadonov
Kovalchuk-Datsyuk-Tarasenko
Gusev-Namestnikov-Kaprizov
Barbashev-Telegin

Voinov-Zadorov
Zaytsev-Provorov
Antipin-Tryamkin

? Not sure what you mean by this. Half of these guys are unavailable because they declined or are injured.
