Which are the top 4 teams in men's hockey today?

I would say
Canada
Sweden
Russia
USA

Do you agree or disagree with me?
 
Canada
Russia
Sweden
Finland

I think Russia is being slightly underrated. They're offence is second only to Canada, and Bobrovsky and Vasilevsky are both incredible. Their defence is also in a better shape than ever before.

They still don't come close to Canada though:)

Yes but the USA has very strong NHL-Power. On best on best they gain good results(Winner world cup of hockey 96 and finalists olympics 2002 and 10).

I think the question top 4 nations is al little bit unlucky(sorry)! We ve Top 5 in Hockey World! It s difficult to disguise Russia or Finland.

That was the question.

And anybody not putting the USA in the top 4 is only doing it because of anti-American sentiment. The USA has the best talent and depth other than Canada. There really shouldn't be much argument there.

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.
