He didn't finish tops at Worlds, so how would he qualify for 3 spots?

Maybe the Kerrs? Please!
I'd love it, but they have one gala in the US during the GP dates (same goes for Joannie)
I'd like the surprise to be that they keep 12 spots in singles and 10 in ice dance. But I think it'll be an un-retirement (Evan maybe? one of the broken pairs?)

^Mrs Flade has interviewed Evgeni exclusively this month and the article will come out next weeks, and as far as I know Evgeni really likes her and always gives her information first, if nothing else she would be the first to know about his intentions and reinstatement stuff / gp assignments . I doubt anything relating to Plu would be a surprise to her.
This is actually incorrect. It may have been true in recent years, but there were years when he elected to do 2 and even 3 GP events / season:
Starting 1997-98 until 2003-04 he always did at least two events, and in: 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2003 he did 3 events.
In 2004, Plushy was assigned to 3 events but withdrew from the first two and did only CoR; he complained that he had a sinus condition that made air travel difficult and painful. He did only one event in 2005, again, CoR. He skipped the 2006, 2007 and 2008 GPs and did one GP--CoR--in 2009. He doesn't like to travel, that's a given.
Prior to 2004, Plushenko was a young man at the peak of his powers and doing 3 GPs was well within his capabilities. But he is now 28 and hasn't competed in the past 20 months, so it's an entirely different story.

Do you really interesting in Plushenko GP assigment? And this will be suprise for you? Sorry, but nothing interesting for me if he will skate at CoR.
Dont like when people made this way - if you know something, but didnt want tell this to other people, better post nothing, then to talk hints. It will be funny if tomorrow we will not find nothing interesting
If we will find something, because ISU have so bad managment and work so slow.Maybe they need younger president

He's been around a long time, hasn't he? Even before l997, he must have qualified to get GPS.
From another post I read Miki Ando will skip the GPs this season. I guess that would not be as much of a surprise as Evgeni skating a GP.
I'm interested too.But I don't think it's about Plushenko.I expect him to do Cup of Russia but probably not another GP.
At first,I thought maybe F/S are in the lists,but they have announced they'll be back anyway.Maybe Yuna has decided to compete this fall?
(I hope it's the Kerrs though..but unfortunately it may not be the case...)

I think Plushenko doing one GP would be interesting. I think doing two would be moreso.
The surprise is not about Evgeni Plushenko. I ususally won't tease people with "I know something but won't tell", but it is only until tomorrow plus I just wanted to spark interest in the Grand Prix and I guess it worked. The surprise might not be a surprise for everyone, though.
