it sucks that Landeskog had to withdraw but i understand why and he needs to be healthy for training camp for the avs.

 

[Eye of Ra]

My tip for matches with Russia

Enroth
Svedberg?
Lindbäck?

Kronwall - Ekman Larsson
Klefbom - Klingberg
Rahimi - Erixon
Ahnelöv - Andersén

Lindström - Ericsson - Möller
Lander - Rask - Lindholm
Hjalmarsson - Lundqvist - Danielsson
Ullström - Sjögren - Pettersson
Sörensen,Thuresson

Andersén should not make it. We have better players.

Lander is a center.

Lundqvist is not good enough to be 3C.

Pettersson is injured, if you mean Petersson, he should play in a scoring-line.

Declined invitation (no reason specified):
[TABLE=head]Pos|Name|Team
F|Carl Söderberg|Boston Bruins
[/TABLE]

Reason is becuse of MÃ¥rts. Now we have to call in Johan Larsson.

Loui - Larsson - Petersson
Lindström - Jimmie - Möller
Lindholm - Rask - Sörensen
Hjalmarsson - Lander - Danielsson

OEL - Kronwall
Klingberg - Klefbom
Tallinder - Erixon
Rahimi - Ahnelöv

Enroth
Nilsson
Lindbäck

 

[Slimmy]

The reason Carl Söderberg declined is becaus he does not have a contract. Nothing else.

 

[jfc64]

Reason is becuse of MÃ¥rts. Now we have to call in Johan Larsson.

Nah, we can start the tournament with 9 forwards, 6 defenders and 2 goalies. And then add 4+2+1 if we want. NO panic!

Z+Erik Karlsson+Backlund+Ekholm = Parsley!


Lindström - Lander - Möller
Eriksson - Rask - Lindholm
Hjalmarsson - Ericsson - Petersson
Lundqvist

Ekman Larsson - Kronwall
Klefberg - Klingberg
Rahimi -

Enroth
Nilsson

 

[EK47]

Why would he select Josefson? there must be better options out there.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Robert Rosen....?

Nah, we can start the tournament with 9 forwards,

We need 4 lines. The other teams are strong. If im not misstaken, 15 forwards can be added, so no problem with 4 lines in first game.

 

[jfc64]

So you just want to add one defender from round 1? Kronwall, Hjalmarsson, Ekholm, Karlsson, Ericsson, Brodin...

 

[EK47]

Robert Rosen....?

Sjögren?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Josefson is in?? http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/landslag/trekronor/article20633177.ab

Wtf is MÃ¥rts doing? In what way is Josefson better than Johan Larsson?

 

[Eye of Ra]

Could Axel Holmström and Anton Lindholm be players for WC?

 

[joe89]

Josefson is in?? http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/landslag/trekronor/article20633177.ab

I wonder if some more than Rask are "tryouts" because some invites seem to go against what they've done the the last years. They seem keen to add centers anyway.

 

[Zippy316]

I don't know why Josefson was picked but he's made major strides in his game, even if the points don't show it.

It's good to see him get rewarded on the national level cause the Devils for some reason have something against moving him up the line up.

Daniel Rahimi is already in the squad against Czech Republic.

I don't know about Hjalmarsson, Lundqvist and Tallinder are all knocked out in their respective championships. Since they're not already on the squad, I imagine they're not in the running.

There is no word on Nemeth, but I didn't include him since I didn't think he was an option.

Hjalmarsson was going to rest these games, will probably be on the next roster.

You're right. Actually only Hjalmarsson is missing in my book. Didn't se Rahimi was in for the Czech games. About Hjalmarsson Mårts has declared he's "högaktuell" (thought of). And the constant addition of centers might mean Lundqvist is toast.

Nemeth has been severly injured until lately but is an intriguing prospect for our national team. We don't have many big defensemen like him.

[NuxFan09]

As usual, Sweden will be the 2nd team I cheer for after Canada.

Jhonas Enroth...awesome to see him taking part again. Seems like he's always there and I respect that.

Also looking forward to seeing how Elias Lindholm and Victor Rask do on the national stage. Both are important players for the Hurricanes and are continuing to take steps forward. Playing for their country is one of those steps.

 

[OG]

Also looking forward to seeing how Elias Lindholm and Victor Rask do on the national stage. Both are important players for the Hurricanes and are continuing to take steps forward. Playing for their country is one of those steps.

The only concern I have for Rask is his skating. There were times where he really showed how bad it is when he had to try to chase people down as he played the point on the PP. Though, he is a bigger two-way center so it's not like he needs extreme speed in most cases. Big ice just doesn't seem ideal.

Lindholm is an absolute genius, especially on the powerplay. I'm really excited to see him play internationally again.

I think Enroth is dying to play 'important' hockey. Constantly been backup or on really bad teams since coming to NA. That's why he's go every year.

 

[VictorLustig]

Any word on guys like Loui & Arvidsson?

 

[Cold Medicine]

Nemeth is playing with the Texas Stars, the AHL affiliate of the Dallas Stars.

Maybe the Stars will lose in the first round!
