I saw last Saturday on r/hockey that Russia was leaving roster spots open for the Caps players, but it just made me cross that they were thinking along those lines and the Caps being out, so I didn't say anything here.

Nah, they were leaving spots open for any of the NHLers who may have been eliminated, not just the Caps. The tweet in question that was posted to reddit came from Malamud, whose main hobby is to troll the Caps fanbase.

I don't think it's particularly unusual. Switzerland was waiting on Josi but I think they said Tuesday was the last day that they'd hold a spot for him.

Josi and Ovechkin are two players for whom their national teams are always going to hold a spot open (and it's a given that they'll go if available) but Russia was just about skating some players short, which is a little weird.
