Canada - 70%
Sweden\Russia\USA - 30%
Finland - maybe semifinal
NA - 0
Europe - 0
 
In my opinion Canada and Sweden are the clear favorites to win. Canada of course has by far the highest percentage (>50 %) followed by second team, Sweden. For Sweden to win Lundqvist has to have a perfect tournament, though. I think He is still capable to do that. And Their mighty D surely will help him out.

Next are Russia/US/Finland/NA in no particular order. It does not make any sense for me to rank them as anything can happen in one game matchups. I think USA is slightly overrated here, they are definitely weakened by some of the most promising players playing in team NA.

Only by people still living in the 1970s. Russia is not a threat in a best on best. No more than Czech Republic, who have actually won in the last 30 years. Russia doesn't scare anyone.

Tarasenko, Malkin, Ovechkin, Kucherov, Datsyuk, Tarasenko, Panarin players are not able to win?

You just underrate the power of the Russian hockey

Russian hockey is very strong as ever

Canada 60,9%
Russia 20%
U-23 8%
USA 8%
Finland 1%
Czechs 1%
Europe 1%
Sweden 0,1%
 
Canada 35%
Sweden 15%
USA 15%
Finland 10%
NA 10%
Russia 7%
Czech Republic 5%
Europe 3%
 
Imo people are crimanally underestimating Russia here.
If Russia gets to the finals, im almost certain they'll win. If its not against Canada.
 
Its hard to bet against Canada, but ill throw out %'s

Canada - 30%
USA - 10%
Sweden - 15%
Russia - 15%
NA - 10%
Czech - 5%
Europe - 5%
Finland - 10%

Have you looked at your defense lately? And these offensive superstars seem to choke more often than not.
 
The team with this will win easily, its not rocket science.

And just in case those guys screw up a little player by the name of Carey Price will be waiting for you. ;)
 
Playing in Canada and Toronto, I think Canadians should win with all the supports they gonna have.

Instead of having two groups of four and playing the first round only against the three others, I would had prefer every team to play one game vs all the other 7 teams, and have a final (even two games) between the best two in the standings.

If Voynov was playing and Provorov was 2 or 3 years older they would have a legit shot. No doubt they have the forwards and goaltending to win but that D core is suspect at best.
