1.  39.4

2.  30.5

3.  28.8

4.  27.9

7.  20.6

8.  17.0

9.  15.5

10.  15.3

11.  9.3

12.  0.0

It was the total of points (Goals and assists) scored by the selected players in NHL

There is an Italian roster listed on elite prospects despite no official roster announcement yet. However many people on the hfboards forum are questioning its legitimacy as there are many questionable players on the roster

that's basically last year's IA Division Worlds roster

the only new name is Finoro

so, the names might well be there

Is Finoro a significant reinforcement? The rest of the squad is very weak and lost heavily to Great Britain at the last World Championship Div. 1 A. I'm worried about our disaster in Milan in this squad and form  In Turin 2006 it wasn't that bad, but we simply had a stronger team.

Hmm, but where were these people 2 or 3 years ago? They probably don't even know what is a Division 1A at the Hockey World Championships?

If he didn`t play in the NHL, then is probably not to good in our actually situation. Maybe instead of taking 7-8 weak players from Canada/USA, they should have looked for 2-3 really good players who would make a difference and combine them with players from Italian clubs? A really good goalie would also be useful, because Clara in the NT doesn't really convince me. As it is, we have 7-8 average players from North America who contribute almost nothing to a team that's weak and isn't making any progress. I wonder how much money Jalonen had to get into something like that?
