Bragin was saying the biggest competition in russian junior team is going to be between Georgiev and Samsonov, so you should not be surprised. He can still become a starter with tournament progression. Georgiev is a great prospect too.

Watched SUI-DEN. The Swiss have been underwhelming in this tournament and as a result they get upset by the Danes. The Malgin-Rod duo did all the heavy lifting on offense for them, they look like interesting prospects. Meier didn't do much.
From what I've seen this tournament and in some other games, Siegenthaler strikes me as more of an Orpik-type than an Alzner-type. Doesn't lay out big hits much but uses his size effectively on the boards and especially around the net. He got beat to the outside a few times in this game but that's not a big deal for a 19-year old. His skating is interesting... it looks almost effortless but at the same time he is definitely not a speedster. He's strong positionally but doesn't have much puck skills.

He is a very good passer though. I was very happy to see how he clears the zone, especially with stretch passes.
I think he's gonna be a good 4th for the Caps.
US can't get one past the Sweden goalie as of 7:30 left in the 3rd. He might pitch a 50+ save shutout.

Samsonov made some decent stops indeed. Allowed 1 goal on 18 shots, which isn't his fault (Russia went to sleep midgame). But Belarus is a pretty weak team.

He's good. I'm actually sold on him. Very safe pick. Can't wait to see him playing in Hershey.

I was never a huge fan of Siegenthaler, but seeing him in that game against Canada changed my mind. Sieg, Bowey, Schmidt, Orlov, Carrick.... I used to be worried about our D prospects but it is actually a strength for us IMO, and to think Carlson is only 25 and Alzner is only 27.
Niskanen is only 29 (just turned on 12.6). Caps don't have room for all of them...and that assuming no FA additions over the next few years.
I think that's a good reason one of them can be traded (or 2). That's 8 dmen in the pipeline under 30. 6 under 25.

I haven't been able to watch any WJC games this year and was wondering about him.

I only watched that game against Canada....but he looks pretty steady to me. It'll be nice to get him in Hershey asap.
