The tournament opens in Saskatoon and Regina, Saskatchewan on December 26th.The Russians are appealing the decision through the IIHF and have included the 19-year old forward on their preliminary roster for the tournament, which was released today.
...with Grachev's apparent struggles in Hartford, might be a good thing to let him go and gain some confidence as mentioned by BTB.
