Interesting that Russia didn't name Radulov or Kovalchuk (or anyone from the KHL for that matter). I mean, it does appear KHLers will be coming as the Czechs named a few.
They said earlier that the initial roster will have only NHL guys and they'll name the KHL players later. I'd expect at least guys like Nikulin, Shipachyov and Radulov to be a lock for the team. Really don't know if Kovalchuk has worn out his welcome in the KHL and the federation with his threats and recent play.

I felt like there were more decent Swedish goalies? I could see them maybe adding Lehner.

Hampus Lindholm has been left off even though he's very good.

Lack and Lehner, I guess. Outside of Lundqvist the pickings are actually kinda slim.

Hampus is good but it looks like Sweden is overloaded on LHD based on that list. OEL and Hedman are clearly better LHD than Hampus, and Kronwall and Hjalmarsson are reasonable 3rd LHD choices for their physicality/intangibles or whatever. Honestly I'm more surprised they left Klingberg off, since he's a RHD. I'd guess Lindholm or Klingberg both get a chance at being the 7th defenseman, though.

One of Lindholm or Klingberg are going to get snubbed for Kronwall and it's going to be hilarious and sad

Apparently there are seven more spots and I could see Klingberg and Lindholm getting spots. I have a feeling some guys will elect not to play.

By the way, are the rules IIHF rules or NHL rules? I mean this in terms of actual gameplay.

A top pairing of Josi+Chara will be good. After that though...yikes. Who do you even bring? Seidenberg and Streit I guess. It gets even more bleak after that.

Going by the NHL's predictions, the roster could be something like this possibly? (changed Sbisa for Streit, obviously)

Marian Hossa - Anze Kopitar - Marian Gaborik
Tomas Tatar - Mikhail Grabovski -Mats Zuccarello
Thomas Vanek - Lars Eller -Michael Grabner
Mikkel Boedker - Zemgus Girgensons - Nino Niederreiter

Roman Josi - Zdeno Chara
Andrej Sekera - Christian Ehrhoff
Dennis Seidenberg - Mark Streit

It's actually not a bad group of forwards. I'd imagine Draisaitl makes the team too.
