No Anderson and Kylington among top8 D and no Kovacs among top15 F are surprises. But speaks about the depth.

Not sure about that. To me it speaks more about Grönborg.

No Kovacs or Andersson were the big surprises. Grönborg went full Grönborg with that D-group.

Well he basically said a fews weeks ago that Andersson would not make the team. So no surprise, but weird,espcially since Kylington didnt make the team either.

I think (and hope) that those guys will be left off.

I'm also worried that Timashov might be one of the two forwards since Grönberg hasn't exactly been his biggest fan earlier. But I don't see a point in bringing a NA player in and then ditch him just before the tournament so perhaps there's no need to be worried.

Why should he give NA-players special tretment? If they do not hold the standard they should get cut. But I think Timashov is a lock even in Grönborgs mind at this point

There's a lot of squaremeters to cover on big ice as a defender..
 
I don't have any problem whatsoever with that roster. Very good mix of skill, two-way play and character on that team. Maybe Kovacs should've been given a chance in camp but it's not the end of the world. This is going to be a strong team no matter what. I feel like this is a roster comprised of mostly men and not so many boys. That usually means a lot in a tournament like this.

2 years ago? :help: Last year Finland win Silver U-18 and U-20 is just different level and we have huge talent in Forward Rantanen, Laine, Pulju, Aho, Kapanen, Nättinen, Hinz, one of the best Goalies Vehviläinen and Kähkönen and very competent defence Juolevi, Saarijärvi, Tuulola, Mikkola. So it would be nice to see what happens when we play against.

Yes, but still year is a lot and now we have Puljujärvi and Laine who will be drafted very early next summer and very likely play NHL next year, they both have take big steps, also Sebastian Aho is 11. in all players in Liiga Points. Juolevi, top end talent, younger Olli Määttä and Vili Saarijärvi next Sami Vatanen and best U18 Championship Defenseman, Goalie Veini Vehviläinen U18 Championship All-Star goalie and one of the best goalies now in Liiga (second best numbers off all goalies). Then Mikko Rantanen huge steps and will be one if not the most best forwards in WJC (at least will fight that spot with Nylander, Mathews etc.).

No way William Nylander is 77kg, he was up to 189 (85.7) during the AHL playoffs and then said he gained more weight over the offseason, likely going up to around 195(88) which is heavier than half the people on the big list.

Besides that, damn this is going to be a good team
 
PP1:

W. Nylander - Forsling
Lindblom - Holmström - Kempe

PP2:

A.Nylander - Aho
Timashov - JFK - Eriksson Ek
 
I don't want Holmström/Lindblom anywhere close to Nylander this tournament. All those flubbed chances still gives me nightmares. With the roster out I'd probably have it;

A. Nylander - W. Nylander - Timashov
Lindblom - Holmström - Kempe
Asplund - Eriksson Ek - Vejdemo
Olofsson - Forsbacka - Lööke
Grundström

That top line would be great fun to watch when they have the puck, not so much fun when they don't have it.

I'd try Eriksson Ek on William's wing. He's a solid two way player with great goal scoring instincts.
