[VictorLustig]

Looks like Steen isn't out just yet.

Edit: Says he's "ganska mycket" ahead of schedule.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Some kind of announcment today?

Hjalmarsson looks like Heisenberg

Hjalmarsson looks like Heisenberg

Quite a few flip-flops I imagine! Also hope Kronwalls kroppshydda is muscles and not fat or whatever.

Haha, Bäckström looks fat too.

Haha, Bäckström looks fat too.

He always do and manage somehow... 96 kg, almost Berglund and Söderberg class on fewer centimeters...

Jesus CHRIST!! It STARTS in four weeks! Bring in Marcus Johansson!

I can panik, I'm not in team management.

PS. Is Anaheim using the fact that Rakell and Lindholm are close to the team as negotiating tactics?

 

[joe89]

Steen has been replaced by Rakell.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Sucks about Steen, pumped about Rakell tho!

 

[jfc64]

steen has been replaced by rakell.

yes!!!


I wonder if Hampus Lindholm might be an option even if another forward goes down? Nah, crazy and unresponsible... Wonder might Rakell's cap number will be... 4.0 on a three year contract?

i think that sweden team is crying for supercenters like Foppa/sundin!!.backström is great centerman but he is`nt sundin or forsberg!!. imagine if sundin and Foppa wouldl be 1c and 2c in this team!!

 

[Nordic*]

Sedins, Zetterberg, Kronwall and Lundqvist are all way past their primes.

Krüger has no business being on this team.

Swap Kronwall with Lindholm and Krüger with Berglund/Zibanejad.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Forsberg - Bäckström - Rakell
Sedin - Sedin - Eriksson
Landeskog - Söderberg - Silfverberg
Hagelin - Krüger - Hörnqvist

I dont see how Zetterberg beats out Bäckström, Sedin, Söderberg. And Kruger is better fit on checking line. Zetterberg should not play at wing. he is way too slow. Zetterberg is a legend and i respect him, but come on. He is finished as hockey-player.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Nice with Rakell! Hopefully they try him with Backstrom and Forsberg.

 

[Major Happy*]

Cant believe Kruger made this team, he is so overrated, haha.

 

[Major Happy*]

Backlund should be on this team, typical Sweden.

 

[jfc64]

I wonder what they think in Anaheim. Rakell but NO Lindholm...

 

[jfc64]

i think that sweden team is crying for supercenters like Foppa/sundin!!.backström is great centerman but he is`nt sundin or forsberg!!. imagine if sundin and Foppa wouldl be 1c and 2c in this team!!

But we have three superdefenders now. Only one such earlier.

It didn't help them in 1998.

He is maybe the best defensive forward there is. And he can get under the skin of the best players. Z knows how to make use of other star players. Z a liability? I'm more worried about Silfverberg.

Maaaaaasken Carlsson...
