Team Finland??? There will be no such team in 2020. Team Scandinavia U25, yes. The rest of the Finnish players will compete for team "Rest of western Europe".

Umm, pretty sure W. Nylander should be there instead of Sundqvist or de la Rose. A. Nylander should get a consideration too. Also, no Karlsson.

Word on the town (a few cities in the middle) is that there will be a Round Robin with second teamz as well (from six countries).

I see here quite a favour for this year Hlinka team It would be nice but this team is very young. Just two guys over 30 - Voracek,Gudas.

Yes, these guys looks interesting. Of course, there will be probably players like Hanzal, Frolik, Sobotka, Neuvirth and others, but who knows. I write team that looks most talented to me, and I hope guys like Mrazek, Zboril, Hajek, Voracek, Palat, Hertl, Pastrnak, Zadina, Zacha and Vrana fulfill the presumption. And young doesn't mean inexperienced, look at Palat, 25 years and he was already been in Stanley Cup final, at the Olympics in Sochi...

Sorry for my English, there is probably lots of grammar mistakes.

 

[Jablkon]

I like that team. I only missing some difference player in 3rd and 4th line. Smth like Reichel was in WC04. I am not in the position to judge your english, but it's completely ok for me...

 

[Orange Dragon]

I can see team Czech Republic getting anschlussed in Team Europe by 2020.

Then rather not participating on it in any way. 2020 will be still team full of NHLers. Lots of them will be at least 50 points players...If everything goes well D should be stronger and goaltending will be good as well. Just no star players though...

Yes, Vrana and Karabacek are not players for fourth line, but I can't see someone good on the third/fourth line. Maybe Kondelik, 201 cm in 16 years are very good parametres. But the line Jaskin - Faksa - Nestrasil can be very good againts best opponents lines.

 

[Wooren]

Possible, but we do have some decent prospects coming up and some young players are already in the NHL. We won't be a dominant hockey country by then or anything close to that, but we should still have a decent number of players playing in the big league.

Yes, Vrana and Karabacek are not players for fourth line, but I can't see someone good on the third/fourth line. Maybe Kondelik, 201 cm in 16 years are very good parametres. But the line Jaskin - Faksa - Nestrasil can be very good againts best opponents lines.

Vrana has top six potential and is one of the few Czech prospects that has shoot first mindset. That guy would be a total waste on the 4th line.

Also, keep in mind 2017 draftees will be 21 years old by then, thus I can't see so many 1999 players on the team. Zadina, maybe Necas are the only ones I would consider.

One of these things, is not like the otherssss

 

[Kshahdoo]

For Russia defense will look like

Provorov - Zaitsev
Kulikov - Paigin
Zadorov - Tryamkin
Sergachev, Gavrikov, Yarulin... we have a lot of young defensmen with potential.

As to forwards, I think the 1st line will be

Panarin - Kuznetsov - Tarasenko

And then who knows.

may I ask why?

 

[ProspectsSTC]

One of these things, is not like the otherssss

Stone is a fantastic player??

 

[Eye of Ra]

Filip Forsberg - Mika Zibanejad - Gabriel Landeskog
Alexander Nylander - William Nylander - Dmytro Timashov
Mattias Janmark - Alexander Wennberg - Andre Burakovsky
Elias Lindholm - Victor Rask - Rickard Rakell

Adam Larsson - Oliver Ekman Larsson
Victor Hedman - Erik Karlsson
Jonas Brodin - John Klingberg

Robin Lehner
Jacob Markström

Bäckström is a question mark due to age and speed-problem. Silfverberg, Johansson, Kruger....meh. Anton Rödin might grab a spot.

Go younger instead. Many of the players you listed will be 32-35 and have already played many Olympics and World Cup. Needs some fresh legs and some hunger or it will fail with a QF exit due to lack of hunger, speed.

Nathan Mackinnon - Connor McDavid - Taylor Hall
Max Domi - Tyler Seguin - Mark Stone

Brendan Gallagher - Mark Scheifele - Robby Fabbri
