taxi squad would be Hainsey, Cullen, Stafford, O'Sullivan and Booth.
Booth was a lock on the first team, and he doesn't even make the second team.. he's probably back in late january, so he would easy be on this team. You forgot Ballard too.
it was meant as the only 2 countries that could fill up their rosters with NHL talent. I am sure other countries could make a second team with KHL or Select players, but it is doubtful that any of those teams would be able to compete
ok go check Russia's "B players" for instance ... you know, Frolov, Kovalev, Yashin, Kozlov, Zubov, D. Markov, Khabibulin ... you know all those guys who actually belong on the A team? and I don't think these are even the top choices for that B team ...

are you kidding me?? how many other has been bums can you throw out there? Yashin and Zubov..ahhhhhahahaha. why dont you try and reread what I said and make a FULL team, not just 6 names you can think of. Russia does not have the depth for 2 teams.

he wasnt forgotten, there is no guarantee as to when or if he can return. i put him on the taxi squad just to be nice. he makes team 1 hands down if healthy.
and no I didnt forget Ballard, he has not been good enough this year and has been one of the biggest disapointments for USA Hockey

Alright. You have to be kidding me now. Frolov is the only player you named that I would want anywhere near my NHL team (which is currently terrible).
The top players for Sweden, Finland, Russia, much better than the top guys for the US. But do not come here trying to say they have more depth than the US.

I threw in some obvious names that you've seen in the NHL to make it easier for you, because if I start putting KHLers names, you won't have a clue what I'm talking about. and if you wanna call the aforementionned players "bums", alright, but then you're in trouble because team USA B doesn't even have players of the calibre.
