WJC: 2018 Russia Roster Talk
- Thread starter enj92
- Start date
Tough to tell right now.
I don't know if there is truly a lock right now. Yegor Zaitsev is the closest to a lock probably.

I thought Zaitsev was injured recently? Could've sworn there was talk he would miss the WJC.

Is Rubtsov going to suit up or what?
Out of the lineup for several games in the last month or so!
Out last game for the Titan also!

Very simple logic so far by Bragin. North American forwards make up two lines, and the pairings might be decided in a similar fashion.
Of course we'll probably see movement when the games start. I'm rooting for Alexander Alexeev to make it because I think he has big-time talent. Losing Dronov sucks, but there can be a silver lining here.

It is really tough to crack this RW for Kravtsov while I would like to see him on the team.

It's either him or Veryaev, all other LWs are lock. Alright, I'm not sure about Kostin as well. He's big and a good 2-way forward though, so Bragin will probably like him.

See post #86, but likely most if not entire Kravtsov line will be cut.
I seen that post but its been a few days now and thought things may have changed.
Do you know anything about Altybarmakyan and Polodyan and what role you'd anticipate them playing?

They had chemistry with Maltsev in the SuperSeries so Bragin likely will lean on them heavily for scoring. Unless they're not clicking.
I don't anticipate the scoring lines to change much unless something unusual happens. Bragin will shuffle things when the real games begin, until then I expect the North Americans to stay with North Americans and the Maltsev line to stay intact.

Thanks for the commentary.
Wasn't too familiar with them and missed the SuperSeries this year so I was totally in the dark!

0-0 after 1 period against Denmark. Pretty even first period TBH. Surprised Denmark had as much zone time as they did. Is Russia playing all their best players? Or are the top guys resting? Wish there was a generic exhibition games GDT to post in.

What is Russia's goaltending situation looking like? Are the looking to split games, is there a bonified #1?
