I think USA is in top 4 but are they better than Sweden and Russia? I don't think so. If USA has so much depth then why can't they win IIHF World championships? Or even play in the final since 1960?
If Olympics are best on best how is Russia in your top 4 and above USA if they haven't won a medal since 2002 when they won a Bronze? In that same time frame US has 2 Silvers and 3/4 of their eliminations came from Canada ofc. Obviously 2018 doesn't count unless you're going to tell me KHLers vs College kids is best on best. lol
Sweden sure I can understand some people rating them above the US. I disagree since I believe in recent drafts US has filled their positional need better than Sweden. Sweden can add all the great defensemen in the world, you still only play 6 generally lol! But Russia? Nah.
Just make a 2018 or 2022 roster with the best players and try and tell me USA isn't at least 2nd now.
