I agree with you, except the Fragile Frankie comment. I like our goaltenders and don't see either of them letting us down. On to your other point, I think the USA has the best value. I like Canada to win (maybe a bit biased) but I don't see Russia doing too much. Their defence is subpar, and their team offence is filled with shoot-first players, so chemistry could be an issue. Sweden is missing Henrik Sedin, which means Daniel is almost useless without him. Their key players are aging, so Rask will have a big job ahead of him. The USA has no real weaknesses from what I see. They have a young, physical core up front, solid defence and a world-class goaltender. At +700, I think that's the best value in this tourney.
