Seriously doubt Filatov plays.

Why not? Nemchinov has already stated he's hopeful Filatov's AHL team will release him.

If it were up to me, probably something like this:

FORWARDS
Andronov
Dadonov
Filatov
Grachev
Klopov
Klyukin
Kugryshev
Lazarev
Loktionov
Mayorov
Ostapchuk
Petrov
(ex: Chernov, Trunev, Yashin)

DEFENSEMEN
Chudinov
Goncharov
Kolesnikov
Konev
Kulikov
Seleznev
Vasiliev
Voinov
(ex: Kostromitin, Lukyanchikov)

GOALTENDERS
Alistratov
Zhelobnyuk
(ex: Gaiduchenko)

Filatov played in the ADT Canada-Russia Challenge, very strong indication that he'll suit up for Russia at the WJC.

No he didn't play.

Filatov was invited but the insurance costs to cover him were deemed to expensive for a few meaningless exhibitions.

Petrov came back yesterday. He played for Ak Bars 2 in a Russian 3rd league game. He should be ready to play in the WJC later this month.

is ruslan bashkirov still elegible? i guess he may have screwed himself off the team anyways. Is he even playing hockey regularly?

What are the chances Pavel Chernov makes the team? He was probably the best player in the ADT challenge.

How about the guys from the Q: Sergey Ostapchuck and Dmitri Kugryshev? Any shot at all?

SergeConstantin74

12-04-2008, 12:10 PM

Kugryshev said in the paper yesterday that his place has been confirmed. He'll join the team on December 18 in Ottawa. He won't go to Russia for the camp.

defensive defenseman; good size for a D but needs to fill out his frame, good skater with good speed, not the best hands but will still attempt to carry, decent passing

Definitely add Kitsyn, Korostin upfront. (Korostin started slow, but looks to be picking up.
On D, way too soft. The past has proven more physical D-men are needed to handle the Canadian forwards :
Voynov
Kulikov
Goncharov
Molotilov (a necessity)
Selznev
Chudinov
Kostromitin (Surprisingly impressive)
Goaltenders: Why isn't Alistratov on any of the draft lists? I thought he was a big time prospect.

Dmitri Kostromitin, there is no way that guy doesn't make the team. An absolute beast for the Juniors. I don't know the other defensemen on team Russia, but if you think they're too soft, then Kostromitin will really help. Like you said, he's been impressive on the smaller ice surface for the Juniors this season.

He does everything well, really. I don't get why he wasn't drafted last summer, hopefully with a strong showing at the WJC (I really doubt they cut him) he'll get a long look for a late round pick by a couple of teams.

What impresses me the most about him is how complete he his. He's effective on both the PP and the PK, he moves the puck well, rarely makes any mistake with it, is an extremely good skater, has great size, he hits hard but doesn't get himself out of position to make contact, good vision, clears the crease, involved in traffic areas, absolutely amazing along the boards and in the corners (he uses his big body to his advantage), etc

He really has a lot of quality, not much weaknesses in his game.

12-05-2008, 07:59 AM

I doubt Kostromitin will take part in WJC. He had never played for Nemchinov before, wasn't part of ADT Challenge team. Also he must be shoo-in, because "North Americans" can't attend pre-tournament camp (07.12 - 17.12, Novogorsk). By the way pretty impressive for Traktor school, having three D (Konev, Voynov, Kostromitin), as strong contenders for team's spot. As for people not already mentioned in this thread, Nemchinov had several nice words about Pashnin in recent interview.

pouskin74

12-05-2008, 08:12 AM

probably the softest defenceman ever

Filatov-Loktionov(if healthy)-Petrov(if healthy)
Grachev-Klyukin-Dadonov
Mayorov-Chernov-Kugryshev
Kabanov-Kitsyn-Lazarev (little to young but still better than others)

Goncharov-Voynov
Kulikov-Konev
Chudinov-Kostromitin

Alistratov
Gayduchenko or Zhelobnyuk

Kabanov is too young

Ha, sucks for Trunev and Kostromitin. I get that he's never played for Nemchinov, and that he cannot go to the training camp in Russia, but Kostromitin's been playing great, he would be one of their most physical dman AND he has experience on the smaller ice surface.

Anyway, I'm happy that he'll stay with the Juniors, we need him here.

As for Trunev, hopefully next year so Habs fans can see what he's made of. Anyone know how he's doing so far this year, and if he'll be crossing the pond next year to play in the CHL?

cant wait to see Petrov play. To be honest, last year all I was paying attention to was Filatov becasue I thought the Isles would have a shot at him in the draft.. Funny how things work out. Russia looks good, don't know about the goaltending situation though...

Zine

12-05-2008, 05:26 PM

Should be a pretty good team just as long as Golovkov, Tokranov, Khafizullin, Potapov, Nikontsev, Karamov and Komaritsky aren't anywhere near it.

No Lazarev?:eek:

12-05-2008, 07:22 PM

Good to see that despite all the talk of NA-bound juniors being suspended from the national team, it has never materialized. Also, it seems that the situation is exactly opposite, Nemchinov seems to actually *prefer* youngsters with NA experience. Whether it's because the championship is in Canada, or they just fit his game strategy better, who knows.

Or simply being better players. They are cream of the crop of pretty good 1990 generation.

Should be a pretty good team just as long as Golovkov, Tokranov, Khafizullin, Potapov, Nikontsev, Karamov and Komaritsky aren't anywhere near it.

No Lazarev?:eek:

One of Golovkov, Tokranov, Khafizullin will definately be a part of team. Russia will not go with just 6 D and now have only 9 on camp roster.

Also Kolesnikov's absence even on preliminary roster is quite interesting. He is playing the biggest minutes among his age-group on the highest level.

malkinfan

12-06-2008, 12:28 AM

I am sorry to disagree with many of the posters above, but Molotilov and Kostromitin are musts if they have any chance at slowing down the Canadians. I would have Seleznev despite being soft because he was the best russian D-man at the tournament last year.

kirill kabanov didn't make the cut I see. Too deep of an offense? Or did he not look good in camp? I was hoping to see him out there.

Nemchinov sent home three good players in Konev, Nikontsev and Karamnov to keep in the roster mediocres like Hafizulin...bad move imho

Well, everyone is expecting good performances from Vyacheslav Voynov and Maxim Goncharov, and I say that Kulikov now has to confirm what he's showing in the CHL

According to the Syracuse Crunch's blogger, Mayorov is already back in Syracuse.

Voynov, i guess

I don't know many of those players. Do they have a good chance of winning the gold? Who's gonna be the leading defenseman ; Goncharov or Kulikov? With who Filatov is gonna play with? And is Alistratov any good? And is he a sure bet to be the starter?

Just want to know a bit on every team before the start of the tournament.

Does that mean he got cut from the team, if so stupid decision by Nemchinov.

kirill kabanov didn't make the cut I see. Too deep of an offense? Or did he not look good in camp? I was hoping to see him out there.

Petrov, I liked him as a semi-sleeper last year. Curious to see what he does in this tourney.

Glad to see Filatov playing, that's for sure.

Kabanov wasnt in camp at all. he is too young anyway.

when's the first game?

malkinfan

12-21-2008, 11:45 AM

26th is 1st game. Kabanov was not too young to be invited to camp - Kitsyn was invited. Mayorov 100 x better than Karamnov without question. Mayorov hard driving skilled forward. Karamnov = soft, terrible. :shakehead
No doubt Karamnov's spot was paid by his father or some other political underlie involving his father.

So among all of this confusion, has this roster even been picked?

Nope. The roster will be picked just before the tournament after 2 pre-WJC games. Karamnov attended camp in Russia and didn't make the trip overseas.

Has Mayorov been sent back to Syracuse because its close and he can get a game or two in with the Crunch before the 26th.......or has he actually been cut?

If he's been cut, Nemchinov is saying to GM Howson and Columbus, "Thanks for Filatov, but I'm still going to punish you for taking him to the NHL, so I'm cutting Mayorov." Just my take.

I was wondering the same thing.. :help:

12-21-2008, 11:07 PM

After a very poor U-20 Superseries I actually liked the Russian team of last year. They did play better than the talent suggested. I actually believe that Nemchinov has improved a lot, so I don't think the team will be a pushover. This team reminds me the team of 2007 where nothing was expected but they gave a good run even to Canada.
I do think they can be the most surprising team and win gold.

Siberian

12-21-2008, 11:09 PM

Majority probably do not follow the KHL but Alistratov has become Traktor's number one goalie. I expect Nemchinov to go with him all the way, but if you overlook Alistratov's success in the KHL alll three goalies are about even.

#11_THEBEST!

12-21-2008, 11:18 PM

Should I know all those players? I'm guessing they're all talented, but what do Russian fans think of their team?

I know Filatov, Mayorov, and Voinov. [Mainly]

And then I have watched guys like Chudinov and Daonov [very good player] in the ADT challenge.

Speatley

12-22-2008, 03:43 PM

which D plays the PP for this team?

HitByWitt

12-22-2008, 09:17 PM

hmm.. this squad looks a lot better than i thought initially. don't really know much about their goalies though. i really think that Russia is being overlooked as a gold medal threat, that is if they as a team can adapt to the small ice surface.

the two i'm gunna be watching closest from this team are Petrov (cause he's an Isles prospect) and Kulikov (whoever gets him in the teens is gunna be VERY lucky this draft).

It's strange because I think this is the first time I've seen Kitsyn mentioned with this junior team so maybe the FHR site made some kind of mistake..

Konev and Loktionov were also not supposed to be here I think..

I guess we'll see the real roster tomorrow against Latvia

That article - as it was written - was based on Tuesday rosters.
It's really strange that Gaiduchenko has been cut.
I'm happy for Nikontsev though
