This would be the team I select.
Kostin-Rubtsov-Svechnikov
Abramov-Maltsev-Altybarmakyan
Kosorenkov-Shvryov-Sokolov
Kara-Ivanov-Lipanov
Next on the team would be one of the draft eligibles, Kravtsov, Denisenko, Rozhkov, Marchenko, Zavgorodny. All these guys should've been at this series, and the best of them could make the team. Enough of these guys who are only in contention because they are among the older players eligible. Russia needs to start taking more skilled teams, its what everyone else does. I know it won't change with Bragin, but it should. Does anyone remember two years ago Laine and Puljujarvi won Finland the tournament? Svechnikov should be one of this team's most important players, Khovanov if he wasn't sick should've been on this team, and some others should've been in contention. Defensively and in net, maybe not as many contenders, except Alexeyev, but among the forwards, a number should've been in contention, and at least 1 or 2 should make this team.

Syomin-Y. Zaitsev
