The Russian defense looks like a mess. Probably going to be Gonchar, Emelin, Markov and then who knows who else. Heads will roll if they blow it again
Sweden is bringing a well balanced team for sure.
Canada's defense will be the best but the big question mark is goaltending. Price and Luongo are choke artists but seem to be the best two options
Finland looks very underwhelming this year, only strong in net as usual
US looks pretty weak up front and very weak on D. Interested to see who pairs with Suter and logs big minutes. Shattenkirk will easily be muscled around by Canada's forwards, Erik Johnson doesn't seem good enough for the job, perhaps Yandle? Luckily for them they have the best goalie in the world
