I take it back, that was the guy I was going to take next.Cerebal gave me the green light to make my pick, so for my final selection I will select the captain of team Russia, Viacheslav Buravchikov
I already picked him a few rounds back. Try and hold off on picking for a bit, let's see if the other guys show up tomorrow.D Taylor Chorney

Yep, I'm really curious to see how some of the Russians play as they haven't gotten a lot of press from the Canadian media.I'll take
F - Bumagin - RUS
D - Voynov - RUS
Woohoo!
This is going to be fun!

Ugh, it was looking like at least one of Valach or Buravchikov would last until my pick.Hopeful steal of the draft D Juraj Valach (SLO). Playing very well for the Tri Cities of the WHL. He's their top Defensemen.
Heck, it's been hard enough just to find out who made the final roster! It will be interesting to see how they perform, Cherepanov is a guy I will have my eyes on. He's putting up great stats this year in the Russian Elite League, I'm curious to see if he can carry that forward into the tournament.I'd say they haven't gotten any press. I have found it hard to find any info this year, with no big star presence in the line-up.
D - Voynov - RUS
I'll take Swedish defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson with my last pick. I was really banking on getting one of Buravchikov or Valach, hopefully Hjalmarsson puts up some points playing with Backstrom and company.
