2022 Russia Olympic Team If they selected today

Created by: Dstapels9
Team: 2019-20 Custom Team

Description
If Russia selected their 2022 Olympic Team today, and ONLY SELECTED THOSE PLAYING IN NORTH AMERICA, this would be the team they select.
Offense: loads of talent. They can score with the USA and Canada. Fourth line talent might be slightly less than others, but they are closer than you think. Under consideration: Kovalchuk, Gusev, Nichushkin, and KHL players like Kaprizov who may come to the NHL before then.
Defense: with all due respect to Provorov, Sergachev, and airlock, Defense is a weakness. Even if you added KHL stars, it wouldn’t improve by much. They will be bailed out by strong goaltending and timely offense. Alexeyev makes the squad. As a scratch because of the promise he has shown in the AHL. Oh, if only they could bring Zubov or Fetisov back from their prime. Under consideration: Yelesin, Gavrikov, KHL players Voynov, and Romanov. Romanov, If he comes, is the wildcard and likely makes this team.
Goaltending: the controversy is where is Bob?!? He has been cold of late, with Samsonov having a better year and likely to take the reigns in DC. I selected him, with Shesterkin the third because of his obvious skill and youth. Under consideration: Bobrovsky, Georgiev,

It was such a tough choice. I skipped Gusev, bu he could easily make it. Heck of a talent, and getting ice time (finally) in NJ

I'm not a fan of either team but his game seems more complete than Gurianov's who seems to be only a goal scorer and the team has already enough goal scoring touch in Ovechkin, Tarasenko, etc

Is the NHL going to let players play in the Olympics?

Realistically, Shipachyov and Kaprizov should be in - maybe a few more KHL players

Not as of now. This was just for fun because of the suspension of play.

I know. Both are great. But I was just selecting NHL players. My write up/description explains my thoughts. Romanov could do it as well on defense
