Podkolzin was the most dominant player on any team in the Hlinka tournament, on two occasions going the length of the ice through the entire Swedish And American teams to score critical 3rd period goals. I'm not at all convinced that he is less talented than Svechnikov, and I definitely think he has more talent than Provorov, who is outstanding but not great.

Provorov is in a Doughty mold. That's not great?

In my opinion, Provorov is very good, but not great. If you are suggesting that he deserves to be called great, provide some support for your opinion. Please don't obviously overblow it by using praise that is not justified based on actual accomplishments!

15/16 - CHL Defenseman of the Year
16/17 - #1D at 20 years old (21:56 average) and Flyers Defenseman of the Year (Barry Ashbee Trophy)
17/18 - NHL most goals by Defenseman (17) and only defenseman in the top 30 for points with less than 15% coming from the PP (1st is Provorov at 12% and the 2nd is Dumba at 24%)

Obviously he is quite young and it's too early to give a qualified evaluation of a career, so there is still a lot of guessing and projecting, but to keep it factual and supporting my comparison Drew Doughty who by many was called the best D-man in the league right now has scored 27 pts in the season in which he turned 20. Provorov scored 30 and lead the league in goals scored by a defenceman in the next scoring 41 pts as opposed to Doughty's 57 pts which though was his breakout and his best season ever since. Is that an actual accomplishment you could relate to?

Yes, Provorov is off to a slow start in the first six games so far. Is that a sample size to call quits on high expectations and call him good, but not great already?

Great??
 
Apparently only Chekhovich and Koltygin will be there at the CAN/RUS Series from the QMJHL.

No Zavgorodny?:loony: But other than him, there are no game-breakers in QMJHL for this years WJC.
 
Although I'm seriously souring on Lipanov, if WJC was today, Bragin's team probably resembles the following locks.

X - Shen - Kravtsov
X - Lipanov - Kostin
X - Anokhovsky - Kovalenko
X - X - X

Alexeyev - Samorukov
Morozov - X
X - X
X - X

Tarasov

Has the Russian roster(s) been released somewhere?

Nope, just, if I understood correctly, the QMJHL announced their players to play for Team Russia.

Well, more or less your version is the same as mine, although I'd say Maksimov and Chekhovich are very strong candidates as well. Maksimov is basically the only right-handed sniper candidate (ok, there are also Morozov and Denisenko, but they are 2000 borns, so Bragin will take them only if they're too good), which is critical for the PP. And Chekhovich, as I've already mentioned couple of times here, just because he has been very good. Also about goalies, it's hard for me to imagine that, if WJC would start today, Ustimenko wouldn't be there.

I don’t know why you think all of those are “locks”.

To me, Kravtsov is the only lock.

I don't know, to me it's pretty hard to imagine that guys like Kostin, Samorukov and Alexeyev don't have roster spots reserved for them already. Not to mention that Zine's post was about 'if WJC is tomorrow'.

No Lipanov. Good. He sucks.

Where is Ilya Morozov?
Click to expand...

Lipanov is there, Zine just missed him for some reason (or he just agrees with you so much, he didn't even bother to write his name :) ).

Ilya Morozov is at the 4 Nations tournament with Kravtsov, Kovalenko and Denisenko.

Shashkov made it to prelims. This kids going to not only make the team but get drafted.

Couple names I have no idea about are:

Vladislav Tsitsyura
Alexander Yaremchuk
Artyom Volkov

Any info here or are they fringe players for the WJC?

I could have just not noticed before but do we see 21 year olds (Artyom Volkov, possibly more, maybe there's another one?) at the super series?

That's a different Artyom Volkov: https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/340196/artyom-volkov

About Tsitsyura, he can win faceoffs, is decent in a two-way game and can contribute to offense from time to time, so he is competing for a 4th line center spot.

Yaremchuk is skilled, yet responsible winger (played mosty LW so far in the NT, but can play C too), so far has been productive in the NT in different tournaments, but again, probably not a candidate for top lines (athough who knows, Kravtsov line's LW roster spot is still open).

The guy I was hoping to see big things from Shashkov has been rather so-so in the Canada Russia series (in fact he didn't even play in the OHL game), but the guy really impressing me is Starkov. He's playing quite well, and certainly raising his stock.
