WJC: Russia 2019 Roster Talk | Mod Note in OP

Isn’t Kravtsov the same height as Kostin?
Also, how are Kravtsov’s chances playing center in the WJC?

Kravtsov is the same height, but about 30 pounds lighter.

 

[CanuckCity]

Damn.. will be pretty disappointed to not get a look at Podkolzin

 

[tigervixxxen]

Any idea when Russia announces? Seems it was on the 4th last year.

 

[VicRoyals]

Where will training camp be held?

He's not as built (Kostin is a monster, he's going to physically dominate the games) but I also expect Kravtsov to get a look at center, which is why I didn't mention him for the wings.

Any chance Ishkakov makes it?

No chance

Highly unlikely. Bragin has only picked two 17 year olds for this tournament, and that was Provorov and Svechnikov. If Guskov was in serious consideration, he would've been at the Super-Series, and he wasn't.

Its more likely that Podkolzin would be the 17 year old picked this year, and I don't think thats going to happen either. Bragin has passed up on adding many very good 17 year olds to Russia's roster over the years, which I think has hurt their results.

next year...

Podkolzin still has a chance. Bragin said that Vasiliy may be invited after 4-nations tournament with U18

So much for Bragin's words that Ustimenko gonna be on the team and his good performance at the meaningless tournaments :0

Yeah, got confused on this too, so it made me remember the previous year's situation when Bragin was asked about Berdin and answered that it was GK coach decision and he trusts him, so possibly their opinions didn't match this time too.

 

[Irishguy42]

Imagine Kravstov gets named captain, no? He wore the 'C' for Four Nations.

 

[S E P H]

That's a pretty weak team/year for Russia IMHO.

 

[Kshahdoo]

That's a pretty weak team/year for Russia IMHO.

Most Canadian CHL stars didn't look great in CHL - Russia series vs this weak team, though.

 

[Caser]

Center depth is really worrysome, as Anokhovskiy failed to recover in time, I guess we will need to hope Morozov can step up and take that middle-six center roster spot.

 

[EdJovanovski]

That's a pretty weak team/year for Russia IMHO.

I don’t think so, I have them winning Silver but wouldn’t be surprised at all if they take Gold

It will be interesting to look at Bragin when you tell him that tournaments were meaningless.

 

[greasysnapper]

The only omission for me is Koltygin (Nashville prospect in Drummondville). I had him as the 4th line center, but I think there's a number of guys on this team that could handle a very defensive roll like Galimov.

 

[MaxV]

Yeah, Galimov or Tsitsyura are Bragin type of guys. I think one of them will take a spot.

18 pts in 27gp in a junior league. Many guys to choose from at 4C. He was never close IMO.

 

[wings5]

Maksimov despite being a right handed shot doesn't get another look, guess Okhotyuk didn't impress either, though not at all providing much offense in the OHL this year , shouldn't be surprised.

 

[greasysnapper]

18 pts in 27gp in a junior league. Many guys to choose from at 4C. He was never close IMO.

ppg in the Super series and one of the most noticeable players in both games he played. That line was very good. Specifically on the defensive end. Assisted on the tying and GWG in the 1st game, and he was the main reason Russia won the 2nd QMJHL game because of his play away from the puck. One of the few Russian forwards this year with a real defensive presence. Displayed some great chemistry with Shashkov and Muranov too as seen in that first goal.



His second point wasn't spectacular, he fired a puck at the net and Muranov did a little play in front and cashed in.

As I said it's not a total oversight, there are some good players who can fill that 4C spot, but none as strong as him in the d-zne. Still an oversight in my mind. Especially with how some of these other teams will be built down the middle with size.

 

[Irishguy42]

Kravstov injured in knee-to-knee collision. Had to be helped off the ice.

 

[Irishguy42]

He should be fine. Looked worse than it is.
