Panarin and Shipachyov have some past chemistry together. I would put them on the same line.




This is also why I wouldn't rule out Dadonov despite his struggles, he is familiar with these players and has had success on the same line with them

Dadonov is a short peak player and he is past his peak.

Dmitri Kulikov and Vyacheslav Voynov? 7-8?

Yevgeni Dadonov and Nikita Gusev? 13-14?
 
Just IMAGINE Buchnevich or Radulov as center. Would it look funny? Like if a goalie suddenly becomes a defender or something?
 
I actually thought about playing Buchnevich at center. He used to play there for Severstal ages ago.

It's not quite that big of a change, especially with Buchnevich who played that position before, but I have already mentioned that I'm against it.

Let's hope for good health among russian centers. No Kuz feels wrong.

According to reputable Russian sources, Kuznetsov will most likely play of the Olympics, which will be huge for Russians.

Only chance to win Gold for Russia:
-Kuzya in the line-up.
-Vasilevsky with a MVP performance
 
People thinking Russian hockey federation won’t invite Gusev are naive

We will see. Basically I see him in the lineup too, but he hasn't put himself in a good position with his NA trip. He is not invited just because he is Kuch's best friend, so performance has to come now. We are not dependent on him. At least now I don’t think he deserves an invitation.
 
No, only chance = Canada gets disqualified for being too good at hockey lol

Anything can happen in one game. But with the coaching staff Russia has and the incompetent Rotenberg at the top of Russian hockey i don't have much hope for the Olympics.

"Reputable Russian sources" did not ban Kuznetsov from international competition for 4 years. Why would the IOC lessen his sentence? They don't act like they much give a damn what the Russians think!
