WJC: 2022 Team Russia roster talk
- Thread starter Eye of Ra
- Start date
What about Perevalov? I didn't see his name in this thread, but he has very good stats in the MHL. And he has already made his debut in the KHL.

Yes, he had a 5 point night, well done to the kid. 6 points in 5 games is certainly much better than 1 in 4.
I don't think guys that play MHL-only have a chance. Even less so when they are 17. Maybe in a year when the team is starved for offense but it certainly doesn't apply to this one.

The question is how many underagers should be on the team?
No, he should be on the U18 team this season. There are more than enough top notch forwards there for the U20.

It quickly changed, he might be amongst the leader for goals in the OHL come december
That just complicates things. In a good way. Every time I try to make up a forward roster off the top of my head I notcie I forget a whole bunch of players worthy of considering. There are simply so many this year.
One month before the roster announcement. My opinion:
Chibrikov-Khusnutdinov-Michkov
Miroshnichenko-Ponomaryov-Gushchin
Poltapov-Svechkov-Yurov
Petrov-Ivantsov-Pashin
Guslistov
Mukhamadullin-Kuznetsov
Chayka-Kirsanov
Novikov-Koromyslov
Grudinin
Askarov
Ivanov
Chibrikov-Khusnutdinov-Michkov
Miroshnichenko-Ponomaryov-Gushchin
Poltapov-Svechkov-Yurov
Petrov-Ivantsov-Pashin
Guslistov
Mukhamadullin-Kuznetsov
Chayka-Kirsanov
Novikov-Koromyslov
Grudinin
Askarov
Ivanov
With Tankov playing great Khusnutdinov will probably play winger. Guslistov will play before Ponomarev and Svechkov, he's a KHL starter after all.

Yes, all those 17 year-olds definitely deserve a spot over the guy playing 18 minutes per night in the KHL. Apt, apt analysis.

No matter what, I will be surprised if Russia won't win the gold. You just have the biggest depth. That group of forwards intimidate me more than Canada even if they have some big prospects as well.
The gold is Russias to lose
Sweden will miss Raymond a lot even if they have some great D´s and talents like Lekkermäki etc.
The Finnish players and their development looks like... It has stagnated or something. Actually, some of them look like worse players today than one year ago. I hope I´m wrong though.
Your forwards... Miroshnichenko, Khusnutdinov, Michkov, Yurov, Pashin, Svechkov etc. Wow, will be exciting to follow your team as well.
Michkovs Zorro goal against Sweden, he has some killer instincts for sure.

If they don't get gold I will be very disappointed. Tremendously talented and great depth as Svedu has said. Does Petrov make this or the u18 ?
Just as I say all the time, he has good numbers and in any other year he would probably make the team, but look, the guys who I put on the 4th line have better numbers in the same league. This is the year when not making the WJC roster does not necessarily mean the prospect won't become a good pro.
In a long time, I gotta say Russia gotta be favorites coming this tournament. One of their deepest rosters in a long long time. Can't recall it to be that deep and talented in long time to be honest, top to bottom. I will be surprized if they get less than the silver.

Impressed me at the 4 nations as well, big, fast, good hands and good 2-way game. As a Canadian, I hope he gets cut cause he really looks tough to play against.
Tankov is way bigger and better skater, than Ivantsov. He does PK as well. He actually looked better, than Ivantsov at the tournament, he just was mostly one man army, as his wingers didn't look that great.
Ivantsov's role is playmaking top6 center, but he won't get this role at the WJC. Tankov can play bottom6 ok. Another important thing, Tankov can singlehandedly create scoring chances and goals, while Ivantsov can't.
