And that's what it should be:

Gusev - Malkin - Kucherov
Kagarlitskiy - Shipachyov - Kaprizov
Dadonov - Grigorenko - Buchnevich
Telegin - Andronov - Mikheyev
(Barabanov, Plotnikov)

Sergachev - Provorov
Nesterov - Kiselevich
Luybushkin - Yakovlev
Khafizulin - Zub

Vasilevsky, Sorokin, Georgiev

Possibly after 2nd round of the NHL playoffs this might look completely different.

These are better lines. Really like Gusev with Malkin/Kucherov, that line has potential.
 
Nice two week vacation in Vegas for Nikita, hope he hit some slot machines and pool parties. He should be ready for the WCH
The real question is if his contract year is burnt after those couple of practices with the team...

If Washington loses, Russia gets Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Orlov. Just think about that team. Kucherov, Ovi, Malkin, Dadonov, Kovalchuk...
 
Assuming that Kovalchuk is oldest player is team, he gets his jersey #71 (and may be will be captaincy)
Gusev and Kaprizov will fight for #97 :)
Malkin and Andronov for #11 )))

Kaprizov plays with 77 on the NT. And Andronov will have to find a fancy number.

Add a St.Louis loss in the quarters after that and we will have the best Russian team on ice since the Olympics 2014.
 
I'd actually prefer to see Svechnikov on Team Russia. It doesn't mean, I'm all about Washington beating Carolina. I just don't wanna see Ovechkin anywhere close to Russian NT. He's a great NHL player, so let him play in the NHL, golf, Putin supporter role, whatever, but hockey on Team Russia.

I like it. Top line is great and the top pair looks good. Zaitsev deserves a try in the top 4, if he can replicate his last performance than things are looking great. I would try to fit Plotnikov in, even if only as a 13th forward as he is usually pretty dependable on the big ice.

Only objection for me would be to move Ozhiganov down. He did not play much with Zaitsev at all, and was relegated to the bench in important games for the Leafs. Much prefer Yakovlev there, or even Khafizullin.

LOL We have an OV hater here.
 
I doubt Svechnikov will play after that concussion
I know it won't happen this time and maybe never, but I'd pay to see the young idiot enter the NT dressing room with Ovechkin in there.

Terrible. Ovie can’t play with Malkin/Kucherov, it’s been proven on several occasions.

Buchnevich not invited, Shipachyov not invited, Dadonov don't yet have permission from Florida, Provorov doesn't sign the new contract yet if he does not sign a new contract before WC, he's will not play.
