I wouldn't read to much into who wasn't invited. Often times these tournaments are used to evaluate the borderline or guys who have little shot.
I thought defense was very solid for both White and Red against Denmark and Swiss (not the strongest competition, but still). White D outplayed Red D by a significant margin in the final game.
BTW, don't be surprised is Shamil Shmakov gets drafted. In ever draft there are "under the radar" guys who we don't expect to get drafted but do get picked. I think Shmakov (6'-6" goalie) has the sort of tools that NHL teams like.
I understand it's off-season and such, but the speeds were way too slow, and I only saw the last game between white and red.
Btw, Golubovich also mentioned that players were coming to the tournament in a surprisingly bad shape even for this time of the year.
How did Khabarov and Ilya Morozov look?
What happened to Marchenko, nobody write his name?
Chances one or both of Chekhovich and Kotkov make the December roster?

Chekhovich - pretty likely.
Hate to disagree with you, but I don’t see it.
