Varnakov Sr. said the roster for the 4 Nations Cup is to try out some new guys(thus no Zharkov and Koledov) AND the KHL regulars won't participate in the SSS.
How about VHL regulars... ie Setdikov/Barabanov? Both those guys should at least get a look... BTW too bad for Koledov, who was a good VHL player before Loko 2 folded, now he is demoted back to the MHL
