On that note, for other countries:
Backlund will be playing for Sweden
No Frolik for the Czechs because of his injury
Gaudreau - Undecided, worried about having to pay for his own insurance, plus he's going back to collage for the summer
Jokipakka - Declined invite due ot nagging hip injury
So far, looks like the only guy going is Backlund

Brodie doesn't feel 100% and wants to spend time to rest up and be prepared for next season as he feels that is more imporant
