That American team is stacked. 10 returnees. Probably the best goalie too.

Canada matches up better with Russia (lack of elite centres) than they do with the US.

Will be interesting to see if Persson makes team Sweden. Teams are taking 8 dmen, and assuming the likes of Broberg, Bjornfot, Grans, Johansson, and Soderstrom are locks...that would leave 3 spots for the 6 remaining D.

Emil Andrae seems a likely choice, and I wouldn't be surprised if Sweden takes Edvinsson for the experience, so that would leave just 1 spot for Persson, Berglund, Brannstrom, and Hedstrom to battle over. We should know as soon as this morning who Sweden is sending, so fingers crossed.

If Persson comes to Kamloops and has a big year in the Dub, he's a virtual lock to make next year's Swedish team....same with Zlodeyev for the Russians. And Jurmo is a strong possibility for the Finns as well.

So Canuck fans could actually have more players to follow in next year's tournament than this season. Not bad, considering all three guys were drafted in rounds 3-7.

Persson will be too old for next year's tourney - he's a late '01.
