I would also like to know.
My guess is the usual suspects, USA, Canada (even without their best players), Sweden, Finland (that seem to have a good team this year, awful Ivan Hlinka though).
Who else? How good is the russians? Czech rep. always seems to lack the depth to compete, they did good in Ivan Hlinka though.
I have no idea how team Sweden will do, the great agegroups 1990 and 1991 failed miserable in this tournament, but the much weaker 1992:s took home the silver and the not so very awesome 1989:s the bronze. Theres no logic when it comes to Team Sweden and this championship.

- USA is the favourite, I don't think there's any question about that.
- Finland didn't do well @ Ivan Hlinka Memorial, but they'll have anywhere from 8 to 12 new players on their team, so the results could be very different. If Samu Perhonen lives up to the hype in net, they could be a Semi-Final team.
- Jaskin, Musil and Frk for Czech Republic could be interesting.
- Canada's goaltending might be a problem this year, at least there has been some talk about it.
- Yakupov could easily be the most dominant player in this tournament.

Will the CHL-players be there? I didn't know Czech could bring Frk, Musil and Jaskin and Russia Yakupov. Is it because some special deal or is it because they play on bad teams that didn't make the playoffs (or bound to be out of the CHL-playoffs soon). Maybe Sweden could bring Rakell then?
I don't know how good Sweden will do, since I don't really know the strenght of the other nations. Since the good Ivan Hlinka the u-18 team has been slumping and been having bad results. Is it a sign that Sweden is not as strong as we think this year and the other big nations have better agegroups or just a underachieving team.
On paper the team looks great though allthough goalies are a questionmark.

I don't really want to discuss t-Russia, because when I look at the roster - I am in a face palm state.
Russian team is SO corrupt that there is very high chance of it relegating to the lower division.
There are 4-5 absolute Good prospects on the team, and the rest are the money-makers for the coach. Speaking of the coach, the fact that he hasn't been fired yet for being the worst team leading up to the U18 tourny ... just SUPER FACE PALM. ^
The more I see this, the more I realise how much russian hockey fed is holding back the developement.
this is a great example: Son of the local governor...

If CHL players can be there then I'd say the Czech's could actually do well this year. Musil, Hrbas, Frk, Stransky, Kalus, Nedomlel, Beranek as well as Jaskin with Machovsky and Honzik as goalies. That's actually pretty strong for the Czech's. That being said I don't know if all those guys are eligible.
Yakupov's Sarnia Sting didn't make the play-offs and his name is already on Russia's camp roster. Frk's Halifax Mooseheads and Musil's Vancouver Giants were eliminated in the first round of play-offs, so they should be available too. Rakell's Plymouth Whalers is leading their play-offs series against Kitchener Rangers by (3-1), so it looks like they might be advancing to the second round of play-offs.
Ah I see thanks for the insight. Then Czech rep. is going to have a pretty strong team afterall. Rakell is injured, so he wont be available anyway I believe. I don't know why there isn't more hype about this tournament, since it's very important for the draft. Must be because Canada don't send their A-team.
USA is the clear favourite judging from this seasons result. This swedish agegroup have had good games against USA though now and then, but never seem to be able to beat them really. In last years u-17 championship I think Sweden outshoot them pretty badly but still lost. USA always win against Sweden nowadays on most junior levels.

There's already a similar thread on the International Tournaments board, but the business is a tad slow there, so perhaps we get more discussion here.

9 players are born in 94 and 1 95 born player. A very young team but the 94 generation is one of the best in recent Norwegian hockey history. Most of these guys have already played a lot of games in the Norwegian Elite league.
Look out for the Søberg brothers. The goalie Steffen has played senior hockey in the Norwegian Elite League for 2 seasons already. He also had a prrety good tournament in the WJC in Buffallo earlier this season. SVS% 91,5 is not bad for a 17 year old playing for a weak team.
His brother Markus is in my opinion the most talented hockeyplayer to ever come out of Norway. At the age of 16 he will probably be one of the youngest player in the whole tournament. He is an exellent skater, plays very physical hockey and he can finish. He could be a name for the first round of the 2013 draft. He will play for the J20 team in Frolunda in Sweden the next season. I would compare him a little bit to Mikael Bodker when he was the same age.
Other players worth a notice is Magnus Hoff who has been playing some good hockey for VÃ¥lerenga of the Norwegian Elite League. Jonas Knutsen and Mathias Trettenes has had a good season in the Swedish junior leagues, the same can be said of Fillip Jacobson.
All in all I think this team will go down and then probably go up again the next year, but it will be a usefull experience for these guys.

This year I fear we'll be relegation round-bound
One would think that having Yakupov, Grigorenko, Shalunov and Kucherov among others is enough fire-power to challenge most teams, or at least Switzerland, Slovakia and Germany in Group-A, no?
I know that some big names were left out, but perhaps the goal was to assemble a better two-way team with only few star players, similarly to the WJC's? Or is the system really so corrupt that friendships and perhaps even money are a major factor in these selections? How many of the players on that squad look totally out of place?

Haven't heard a lot of the goalkeepers
93 born D is deep and solid, but lacks elite offensive talent, the best 94 born defender Rouiller is injured. Kreis or Lanzarotti making the team isn't out of question.
93 born O isn't deep but very talented at the top end, unfortunately, they lack size severly. (Bertaggia, Martschini, Andrighetto). They will be fun to watch, expect them to play with alot of heart. T. Richard had some solid ice time on a desperate team in NLA that was fighting relegation and didn't fall off.
From the underagers C. Bertschy will have a big role, I expect J. Schmutz to make the team as well. They are both very promising. We'll see about the others.
IMO, they will finish 2nd at best (beating Russia) and 4th at worst in their group.

Those players are among the best of the tournament, however, they are not enough. Last year's team IMHO was better (as a whole) even with less top-level names. And it especially had a way better coach.
Not the news, unfortunately.
This year I fear we'll be relegation round-bound
That bad for Russia?
Hmmmm...
