McTavish, Power

Actually interested to see how the host Chinese team can stack up against even non-NHL rosters (and perhaps more entertaining, see how commentators pronounce their names).

Obvious candidates would be Power, Beniers, McTavish, Staal, along with most of the former NHL players, but I also want to see Nicklas Jensen in Denmark (our 1st round pick from years ago, always had a good shot, now we can see if he's become more lethal), Ronnie Kenins in Latvia (was Horvat's running mate for a couple seasons during Vancouver's crappy years) and Henrik Tommernes (former late round pick who wanted to terminate his contract).

Klok for Czechs.. he seems to be on the rise and was good at last World's. He may even be able to sniff out an NHL contract if he keeps this up (not a big one).

Spacek for Czechs... big fan and curious if he gets a look with the older guys.

Krejci .. arguably one of the best players in Tourney IMO

Slovak hopefuls - all of them, can't wait to see how they do.

Canada ... Power and McTavish were men amongst boys at U20.. curious how they do against pros and adults. Also, I really Josh Ho Sang will have himself a great tourney.

Selfishly - Frolik, Sobotka, Musil as I'm a fan of all of them. Not sure any will have a major impact though.

I could see Hoffman having a great tourney.

The Chinese team as a whole.
