16. Hungary
Leaders: Scheboek Balázs
Hardly names of players of the national team of Hungary something will tell b to the Russian fans. It concerns both defenders, and forwards. The majority of Hungarians representatives of the elite European championships literally each and all act in the championship of Austria, and. The young forward Vilmos Gallo spent last season for Swedish of "Linchyoping", and Scheboek Balázs acts in Finland. They, with a big share of probability, also will make the main striking power of the national team of Hungary. There is still, however, a 20-year-old guy from USHL, but 14 points in the American junior league – not that result with which it is possible to go on the adult World Cup. Definitely, attack of Hungarians the weakest on ChM-2016.
15. France
Leader: Pierre-Eduar Bellmar, Damyen Flyori
While Antoine Roussel fights with "Saint Louis" as a part of "Dallas", the only NHL member as a part of French national team is Pierre-Eduar Bellmar. Will not be in Moscow and Stephane Da Costa. His brother Teddie will be answerable for the forward of CSKA. Yes only Da Costa Sr. not couple to one of leaders of Moscow "soldiers". Whether Bellmar playing in "Philadelphia" a role of the hard worker, alone to drag on himself attack of France will be able? When in your structure at once six forwards from very average French championship, it is difficult to count on something.
14. Kazakhstan
Leaders: Nigel Dous, Brendon Bochenski, Dustin Boyd
If to judge only on the main stars, Andrey Nazarov's team can give odds to many participants of the World Cup. The players who are steadily beating out in the second league of the world on fifty points, are not present and in more completed national teams. That Kazakhstan citizens naturalized Nigel Dous, Brendon Bochenski and Dustin Boyd, allowed to solve many problems. Kazakhstan has at least one shock three of attack. But who settled down behind backs of North Americans? In Moscow we will not see Dmitry Upper, especially Nikolay Antropov who has hung up skates on a nail. The captain Roman Starchenko, Vadim Krasnoslobodtsev and Maxim Khudyakov who has made break in last season at the very least will try to provide attack depth. Here only the third or fourth links of the national team of Kazakhstan hardly correspond to an elite division of the World Cup.
13. Latvia
Leaders: Kaspars Daugavinsh, Zemgus Girgensons
If in defense because of Kulda and Bartulis's refusals at the national team of Latvia big problems, in attack are characters, noteworthy. First of all it is Kaspars Daugavinsh and Zemgus Girgensons which probabilities with a big share will make a sheaf in a shock link. the 22-year-old forward "Baffalo" spent an unimportant season, but all the same towers over the compatriots. The second echelon of attack will be made by the Riga Dynamo members Mikelis Redlikhs and the Mix Indrashis, and for Kulda Jr. this World Cup becomes debut. Does not suffice for a full mosaic unless Lauris Darzinsh.
12. Norway
Leader: Mats Tsukarello
For many years a symbol of the Norwegian attack was Patrick Toresen. On the World Cup well-known "Viking" will not arrive to Moscow, but for the first time in six years on a world championship Mats Tsukarello will play. Attacking "Reyndzhers" — the only star as a part of northerners. Norway has one more NHL member, but Andreas Martinsen in the debut season for "Colorado" hammered only five washers. For the rest rivals of Russian national team on group can rely on brothers Olimbov and couple more of forwards acting in Sweden.
11. Denmark
Leaders: Lars Eller, Nikolay Elers, Yannik Hansen
At the national team of Denmark very ill-matched attack. Forwards from this country are scattered worldwide: Germany, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Canada. There is even one representative of KHL in the person of the forward "Medveshchak" Patrick Byorkstrand. But after all the main stars of the Danish team are NHL members. Lars Eller, Nikolay Elers and Yannik Hansen are not supernumeraries even in the strongest league of the world. Someone as Hansen, played in NHL over 500 matches, and someone as Elers, won back the debut season, but they are equally ready to surprise rivals of the national team of Denmark.
10. Slovakia
Leaders: Marko Dano, Tomasz Yurcho
Players of level Gaborik or Kopetski who played in the World Cup in Prague, in present structure of the national team of Slovakia are not present and in mention. At Zdeno Tsiger in attack two extremes are collected: or the skilled players, not sufficing stars from the sky, or youth, while not ready to a leader burden. Tomasz Yurcho and Marko Dano – the most perspective children in the Slovak team, but whether will be able to lead they it? Same treats and the former captain of Slovak "youth team" Martin Revayu. Quartet of forwards of "Slovan" also do not look the performers, capable to lead the national team to medals.
9. Germany
Leaders: Leon Drayzaytl, Tobias Rider, Felix Shyuts
If not two young NHL member, German national team it was possible to call combined DEL. 11 forwards represent the local championship. And not all from them are on the leading roles. The competition to numerous Canadians maintain unless Filip Gogula and Patrick Rhymer who has become the best goal-scorer of the past season. All these children are good in power and rectilinear hockey, but of any filigree equipment are deprived. Outside Germany Leon Drayzaytl, Tobias Rider and well-known to the Russian fans Felix Shyuts act only. It will be curious to look as as the leader of attack the young forward of "Edmonton" will prove. On the first World Cup Drayzaytl went to NHL debut whereas today this 20-year-old guy is on the leading roles in "Oylerz".
8. Switzerland
Leaders: Nino Niderraiter
Everything that is told about Germany, it is possible to repeat with an accuracy about Switzerland. The same rate on the players acting in the internal championship. Same two young NHL members. In a case with "сыроедами" it is Nino Niderraiter and Sven Andrigetto. However, it is possible to consider 23-year-old Nidderayter as the young player with a big stretch. Behind shoulders at this guy who once has beaten out from a quarterfinal of MChM Russian "youth team", three World Cups and the Olympic Games in Sochi. On it, actually, and all hope. There is, of course, a forward of "Zug" Lino Marchinin who has become the third goal-scorer of NLA, but the forthcoming World Cup becomes the first in his career. For the rest the Swiss forwards acting in the championship, remain in the shadow of Canadians, Finns and Swedes.
7. Belarus
Leaders: Andrey Kostitsyn, Sergey Kostitsyn, Charles Lingle, Jeff Plett
Even without Mikhail Grabovsky attack of the national team of Belarus looks impressively. Here to you and the finalist of the Cup of Gagarin Jeff Plett who has passed last world championship, both brothers Kostitsyn, and the veteran Alexey Kalyuzhny, and young Artur Gavrus. An important role in the Belarusian team is played also by such hard-working center, as Andrey Stas. On two strong and playing a link at Dave Lyyus of people precisely will be. Especially as at last for the national team naturalized Canadian Charles Lingle will play. In spite of the fact that it passed the most part of last season because of a trauma, the 33-year-old forward, undoubtedly, will strengthen the national team of Belarus.
6. USA
Leaders: Nick Folinyo, Dylan Larkin, Oston Matthews
Americans, as well as is necessary, brought on the World Cup group of students. And it at all a metaphor by means of which we try to belittle level of the national team of the USA. At once five forwards "star-spangled" represent NCAA clubs. It is interesting that three from them already came to Russia on large international tournament: in 2013 in Sochi the junior national team of the USA lost in the final to Canadians, and Jay Ti Komfer was the captain of that "silver" team. To all these children now 20-21 years. And here Oston Matthews — the favourite of the forthcoming draft becomes the youngest player of the national team of the USA in the World Cup in Moscow. After a year in the Swiss NLA on big European ice it has to feel quite at home. Together with an asterisk of "Detroit" Dylan Larkin and Nick Folinyo it makes a trio of rare forwards in this structure of the national team of the USA, capable to flash in the World Cup. For the rest attack of Americans are students, akhaelovets and players of the fourth links of NHL clubs.
5. Czech Republic
Leaders: Tomasz Plekanets, Roman Chervenka, Jan Kovarzh
attack a lot of things will tell b that fact About Czech level that in the expanded list (Czechs, as well as Russian national team, did not begin to declare the total demand) there was a place to representatives of such clubs, as "Kuznya" (Robert Kousal), "Cupid" (Tomasz Zagorna) and "Lada" (Martin Zatyovich). Near at hand Vladimir Vuytek has no stars of the first magnitude. Certainly, except for that of Tomasz Plekanets who will be the captain of Czech Republic national team. Near the forward of "Montreal" in leading links it is worth expecting the owner of the Cup Gagarin Jan of Kovarzha and our old acquaintance Roman Chervenka which the next season will carry out in Switzerland. Forwards from NHL at Czechs only three, and the most interesting of them young David Pasternyak for whom this World Cup becomes the first in career sees each other.
4. Sweden
Leaders: Mikael Baklund, Gustav Nuekwist, Linus Umark, Linus Klasen
Swedes became the real champions by number of refusals from NHL members. At least, among the European national teams to them equal is not present. In the dry rest to Peru Mortsu there arrived three forwards NHL members: Mikael Baklund, Gustav Nuekwist and Alexander Vennberg. Strong children, potential leaders of attack "Tre krunur", but not stars of the first magnitude. For the rest attack of Sweden national team is fed from the internal championship. As exception two creative forwards serve: Linus Klasen from Switzerland and the only representative of KHL Linus Umark. They also should lead the national team of three crowns. It is worth looking narrowly at Patrick Selin from "Ryogle" and to the recruit of "Torpedo" John Norman, but, speaking objectively, Scandinavians brought enough average attack to Russia.
3. Finland
Leaders: Mikko Koyvu, Leo Komarov, Mikael Granlund, Alexander Barkov, Yussi Yokinen
At Finns in this World Cup was selected surprisingly the equal and balanced structure. It concerns also the attack line. At Finns is both forwards hard workers, and real stars. To the first it is possible to carry Jarno Coschiranta and Antti Pilstryom, to the second — Mikko Koyvu and Yussi Yokinen. All the favourite Russian Finn Leo Komarov settles down somewhere in the middle, combining qualities of the sniper and the provoker. Besides the skilled and played forwards of Finns in Moscow the talented youth will strengthen. Rantanen, Pulkkinen, Barks, Akho, Lyne – here it the future of the Finnish hockey! Pulkkinen already showed the gun throw of Russian national team, Akho was imperceptible for our defenders, and to Laina there is to the Moscow ice in the status of MVP of Finnish a playoffs.
2. Russia
Leaders: Pavel Datsyuk, Alexander Radulov, Sergey Mozyakin, Artemy Panarin, Vadim Shipachyov
would Seem to b, on the house World Cup Russian national team has to collect the strongest structure what only it is possible. Especially it concerns attack which always was considered as our bargaining chip. However, if to judge according to the expanded request which submitted to the public, in Oleg Znark's holder full of hard workers, but there are not enough creators. Certainly, the link Panarin – Shipachyov – Dadonov can become one of the best on tournament. But how affairs with other three are? Combination Mozyakin – Datsyuk – Radulov which had to become percussions, podvislo in air. Alexander Radulov has an injury of a groin because of which he risks to pass the house World Cup and Pavel Datsyuk's numerous sores can affect. In that case if "Washington" will lose the fifth match to "Pittsburgh" and will take off from the Stanley Cup, to attack of Russian national team will not be equal. For now our attack surpasses Finnish only a little and, in our opinion, concedes to the line of attack of Canadian national team.
1. Canada
Leaders: Matt Dyusheyn, Taylor Hall, Cory Perry, Connor Makdevid, Ryan O'Raylli
As well as defense, attack of Canadian national team dazzles with young players. Here and the first number of the last draft Connor Makdevid applying for "Calder Trofi", both Taylor Hall, and Max Domi, and Sam Raynkhart. Unanimously – "golden boys" of the Canadian hockey, technical and devilishly talented forwards. Despite small middle age, it is impossible to call Canadians by green team. In the blossoming of forces there are Ryan O'Raylli and Matt Dyusheyn. Both broke off a year ago Russian national team defense in the final Prague the World Cup. The double Olympic champion Cory Perry has to become the real leader of "maple leaves". Brad Marshand will be responsible for experience and combativity in combined Canada – the owner of the Stanley Cup as a part of "Boston". If whose attack also can throw down a challenge Russian, it is brilliant attack of defending champions of the world. Source:
