Politics at play. No KHLers on Russia's roster. My speculation is they see this is a NHL tournament, not worth their time

So who has first dibs on U23 players, the U23 team or the national team? You have to think that USA would want Gaudreau on their main roster.

I'm sure as Kopitar dons the blue and black, the magnificent 2 pixel stick and puck, he will shed a tear of pride & joy. "For Europe excluding the big 4!" he will proclaim.

Russia, Finland and Czechs. I see 3 animal logos that are not holding hockey sticks.

Unacceptable.

Finland playing in red will be weird. Also the "XXIII" is beyond dumb. Most of the players probably won't be 23....

I think by far the most exciting team will be the under 23's (even without Johnny et al)

Which makes this whole thing stupid. I'll still watch though.

Team Hindu. The Nazi Swastika is slanted while this looks level like the Hindu swastika. They just need to put the 4 dots there too.

I'm guessing just the logo will be red like at the Olympics.

'C' on the right? You are uninvited Finland. Uninvited.

Sorry if this is a dumb/unrelated question:

Will these jerseys be the templates for the new NHL jerseys?

Frolik, Gio, Brodie, Monahan, Gaudreau, and perhaps Hamilton, Backlund and Kevin could all end up in this tourney. Basically 1/3 of the entire squad could be suiting up.

Given the slow start the team had to the 2015/16 season, this could be just the tonic (barring any injury of course) to get off to a much better start in 2016/17.

Will be interesting to see how the rosters ultimately develop.
