Should Ovechkin play on number one line with Fedorov?
Who should the captian be?

Fedorov has declined to play in the World Cup so Russia will be without it´s two best centers Fedorov and Alexei Zhamnov.

WHAT? Fedorov has declined?! 
Where did you get that? If that's true I'm afraid there is nothing left for Russia at this tournament!
I just prey to God that everything will be great before the Olympics!

I read from a Finnish source that Sport-Express has said that Fedorov won´t play in the World Cup.

I'm guessing it will look like this then...
1st line: Alexei Yashin
2nd line: Pavel Datsyuk
3rd line: Viktor Kozlov
4th line: Artem Chubarov
Thoughts?

That's not official so far, i think. If it will be, i should now about that, because i'm doing portal for WC2004.

IMO, Datsyuk should start above Yashin especially with more open ice in the tournament...I am a little biased though.

:lol That made me laugh.
Anyway, who will be left on the roster? It seems every other day someone is declining to go.

What open ice? It's NHL sized rinks, ie. 26 meters wide. The European rinks might be a little wider, though. The Hartwall Arena rink might be 28 meters, not sure it can be made narrower.

I'm very excited about seeing Ovechkin and Kovalchuk play in the pre-tourney game against the US here in Columbus. Since the game doesn't mean anything besides practice, how much ice time do you think Ovechkin will get?
Also, Zherdev has said in a few interviews that he would gladly play for the team if he gets the call.

If I were at their camp I would want to see Kovalchuk and Ovechkin together and compare their skill sets. Ovehkin may even have a better wrist shot then Kovalchuk.Sir Ozzie X said:

G Khabibulin
G Nabokov
D Malakhov
D D. Markov
D Zubov
F Mogilny
F Zhamnov
F Fedorov
F Bure
F S. Kozlov
* Zhitnik is now listed on the roster at NHL.com

Russian lineup a work in progress

It's anybody's guess who'll show up for Russia's World Cup of Hockey training camp.
Alexei Zhitnik is the latest NHL star to indicate he probably won't be in Kloten, Switzerland, a week Thursday.

That's pretty many players so far. So there's only one goalie at this time on roster?

No, two - Bryzgalov and Sokolov.
I still think that Fedorov will be there. The same thing was before the Olympics.

I put that article through a translator and it did say that Federov was a no go - although it was very unclear exactly why and if it was for sure or who confirmed it or what not because of the poor translation.
IMO Yashin could lead the team to a good showing as the number one center.
