Here I was wondering if Ristolainen would be on the squad, to find out he's probably the best Finnish d-man in the NHL. Will be good for him!

More interested to see the three North American teams this afternoon. Aren't they supposed to fully reveal the jerseys today too?

Yeah same. Not sure what the Czech National group's problem is with him.

I actually doubt he's on it. They snubbed him from the Olympic team, so I'm sure they'll snub him for this one too. I think there's some tension between the two sides.

Have to wonder what's going on with Hudler and the Czech national team?

I hope he gets picked for the team later on in the year.

Otherwise, Hudler should go and see if he has Slovak or other European roots and play for Team Euro and stick it to the Czechs.

Honestly if I'm Hudler I tell them to stuff it even if they name him later.

No love for the Klingberg? That's a solid D regardless.

Klingberg is putting up the points but he is still a work-in-progress defensively.

And they already have Karlsson

Team Russia...

How in the hell does a hockey power like Russia have Kulikov, Markov and Orlov as the anchors of their defense?

Seriously, do they just play 5 forwards against 5 other forwards in their development leagues?

Who did Hudler piss off in the Old Country to constantly get rejected?
