If you say so. It'll be interesting to see these guys develop.

phaneuf_fan_3 said:well when you are talking at least 4 players that are head and shoulders above anything the US has produced such as Kovalchuk Zherdev Malkin Ovechkin then it pretty well does seal the deal.
Rob Paxon said:Not really. It just means they'll have one hell of a line for the U.S.'s top defensive and checking units to try shutting down. If the U.S. had just one player like a Kovalchuk, Zherdev, etc, I think that'd be enough to put them on top. Right now I think it is closer. You can look at a list of prospects and say Russia looks better but if you were to make an actual team, the U.S. could certainly give Russia trouble.
