Russia would be icing one of their best squads in years, were they allowed to participate. They don't deserve to, but there'd be some well regarded players on their squad:
Miroshinenko-Demidov-Gridin
But-Ryabkin-Artamonov
Suniev-Surin-Kantserov
Chernyshov
Silayev-Gulyayev
Simashev
Nabokov
Zarubin
Just off the top of my head, all highly picked russians from the last few drafts not in NHL. Obviously Michkov would make this even better, but we're not taking Celebrini or Bedard to the WJC so.
