Zharkov either, figured people would be clamoring for a player lie him on a team like that.
Me neither. And even if I was, who's gonna stop him?

You picked him. You should have taken Yarullin or someone else if you wanted a sure thing. I take it you follow the Russians more closely than anyone here so there really is no excuse for taking a bubble player.
Shayne Gostisbehere may still get cut, or Connor Murphy who I have in my other pool. If they do I wont be looking for a replacement because I knew they could possibly get cut but I took them anyway.

well, as far as i knew pretty much every defenseman bar Nesterov from Russian roster could be cut, including Yarullin. if Gostisbehere got cut i'd let you replace him no problem, not that we are winning or losing anything in this game, it'd just be nice to have more players to follow specially.

That's also why I picked Djoos over Grzelcyk. The US were't done making cuts and they have alot of offense on their blueline.

Yeah, I definitely would have been looking at guys like Gryzelcyk and Mike Reilly if I knew we would be able to swap them out later.

I think that this is a WJC Pool...and the WJC haven't started yet...so if a team has an ineligible player, they probably should be able to replace him. I would say the same thing to the team who has Connor Murphy, as he might also not make it. Once it's 12 AM ET Boxing Day though, it officially begins, so no roster changes from there.
EDIT: Realized Blunderbore also has Connor Murphy. I still don't mind if he makes replacements, because he's defense will no matter what be pretty unrecognizable at this point.

No chance. You get what you get.
People picked their teams with that mindset, not the ability to switch out players that may not make it/get injured whatever.

Hey ResiliantBeast, Corey Pronman said he believes Russia is going to have Makarov as their number one goalie...the goalie crapshoot begins lol
As for Blunderbore, I think you will just have to live with it. If IATL is against it, and he has Ryan Murphy who could easily sit some games, then that will be the case. I don't agree with it but that's the consensus.

magically is my team as well. while i'm feeling stupid now i also thought that it'd be a natural thing to get a replacement from the leftovers.
why were we doing the draft before all teams made final cuts though? it's like Preds doing the expansion draft before seeing teams' protected players' lists and getting replies like "hmmm. so you pick Viktor Kozlov. ummm. nuh-uh, you ain't getting him. you wasted your pick as well, tough!"
also, Russia hadn't yet played exhibition games at the time of the draft, while Canada played two and had already made the final cut. what was i supposed to do, totally stay away from Russian players?

Did the fenwick numbers tell him that?
Makarov let in four first period goals against the Swiss in an exhibition game recently. The chances of the Russians starting him are slim and none.

does any scoring cathegory contribute one point to the totals?
wow, appears that Aaltonen went unpicked in our pool. strange, i strongly considered picking him in later rounds but apparently something got across my mind. wonder why nobody took his chance.

Not sure exactly.
At the moment, I'm assuming it's one point per win, shutout, 40 save game, goal and assist, and half a point for an OTL loss. But honestly those are all guesses.
Points today:
Lehkonen 1
Pokka 1
Ristolainen 2
Armia 2
Granlund 1

Did you notice that 8 goals into the tournament and the score keepers haven't awarded a single 2nd assist yet? Yeesh, welcome to Russia.
No, no you don't
Apparently he got injured tonight too.

these might be added later, KHL sometimes tweaks the boxscores a couple hours after the game, i think the same stats guys are now working at the WJC.

Its ok. They gave it to one of my guys.
As long as someone gets it right?

Saw that. Doesn't look good.
Right now, they have Rattie (Rielly, Ouellet) and RNH (Huberdeau) on the board
