That defensive core is way too talented, will never happen. Put Tallinder and Oduya in, and we might have something closer to the final roster
Brodin should off course be up there, but he is hardly a lock, a player like H Lindholm is in my book better.
Im pretty sure he will be that, he will only be 37 then. As long as nobody is giving a signal of slowing down or talk about ending their career I see now reason to not count with them in a tournament "only" 3 years away.
You mean one tournament 3 years ago?
2018 should be more our tournament, espically if Zetterberg and the Sedins are playing then, which I count with at the moment. But we are in a generation shift, and it will take a few more years to complete. By the looks of it, this will be the last big generation shift for a long time. Before it has been big gaps between the generations. Not much between Forsberg generation to Sedin/Zetterberg to Bäckström. It was soon after Backstrom we start to produce top talent every year. The d-men is pretty much in place, it is more the new forwards that needs a couple of more years I think.
So it would be good if Zetterberg and Sedin could hold on to retirre to after 2018, then we could have both the new generation and the old in one tournament.
Forwards are being produced at a steady rate as well now (albeit not at the great rate of defensemen), but some goalie(s) need to break out soon before Lundqvist regresses
