These are better lines. Really like Gusev with Malkin/Kucherov, that line has potential.

Nice two week vacation in Vegas for Nikita, hope he hit some slot machines and pool parties. He should be ready for the WCH
Malkin is just an improvement on Grigorenko
and that was the best line at U18 I've ever seen.Time for editing:
Gusev - Malkin - Kucherov
Kagarlitskiy - Shipachyov - Kaprizov
Dadonov - Grigorenko - Svechnikov's punching ball he has for a head
Telegin - Andronov - Mikheyev
(Buchnevich, Barabanov, Plotnikov)
Sergachev - Provorov
Zaytsev - Ozhiganov
Nesterov - Kiselevich
Luybushkin - Yakovlev
(Khafizulin, Zub)
Vasilevsky, Sorokin, Georgiev
If Washington loses, Russia gets Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Orlov. Just think about that team. Kucherov, Ovi, Malkin, Dadonov, Kovalchuk...

Assuming that Kovalchuk is oldest player is team, he gets his jersey #71 (and may be will be captaincy)
Gusev and Kaprizov will fight for #97
Malkin and Andronov for #11 )))

Kaprizov plays with 77 on the NT. And Andronov will have to find a fancy number.Assuming that Kovalchuk is oldest player is team, he gets his jersey #71 (and may be will be captaincy)

Add a St.Louis loss in the quarters after that and we will have the best Russian team on ice since the Olympics 2014.
I'd actually prefer to see Svechnikov on Team Russia. It doesn't mean, I'm all about Washington beating Carolina. I just don't wanna see Ovechkin anywhere close to Russian NT. He's a great NHL player, so let him play in the NHL, golf, Putin supporter role, whatever, but hockey on Team Russia.

I like it. Top line is great and the top pair looks good. Zaitsev deserves a try in the top 4, if he can replicate his last performance than things are looking great. I would try to fit Plotnikov in, even if only as a 13th forward as he is usually pretty dependable on the big ice.
Only objection for me would be to move Ozhiganov down. He did not play much with Zaitsev at all, and was relegated to the bench in important games for the Leafs. Much prefer Yakovlev there, or even Khafizullin.

Go Caps
For all we know, they might try Malkin-Ovechkin again, and kill any chance this team has to win gold.

Terrible. Ovie can’t play with Malkin/Kucherov, it’s been proven on several occasions.

Buchnevich not invited, Shipachyov not invited, Dadonov don't yet have permission from Florida, Provorov doesn't sign the new contract yet if he does not sign a new contract before WC, he's will not play.
