Thoughts?
Wikman is a little surprising though?Should be a solid team. No Ahl is a bit surprising.
Marcus Davidsson not even as a hm? If he continues the year as he has started it he should be on the team. Well okey maybe not a 100% lock but for sure in the contention
I think both of the Davidsson brothers should have a pretty good chance. Oskar Steen would make my team as well. I thought he was one of the more impressive players at the U18s. And he can play both wing and centre. I also like the idea of keeping the first line from that tournament intact.
Elias Pettersson - Lias Andersson - Alex Nylander
Joel Eriksson Ek - Rasmus Asplund - Carl Grundström
Jonathan Dahlén - Marcus Davidsson - Jens Lööke
Jonathan Davidsson - Linus Lindström - Oskar Steen
Fredrik Karlström
Gabriel Carlsson - Jacob Larsson
Jacob Moverare - Oliver Kylington
Lucas Carlsson - Gustav Bouramman
Timothy Liljegren
Felix Sandström
Filip Gustavsson
There's good depth among forwards. Some question marks on defence. Ideally Liljegren hits the ground running in November and is in good shape come Christmas.
Karlström should have Lindströms spot.
And since when is Lias a center?
Eriksson Ek off to a strong start in the NHL, might not be made available for the WJC.
My last prediction. Or more like my last how-i-want-the-team-to-look-like.
Dahlen - Asplund - Nylander
Grundström - Eriksson Ek - Pettersson
Davidsson - Lias - Davidsson
Lööke - Karlström - Bratt
Söderlund
G.Carlsson - J.Larsson
O.Kylington - Bernhardt
Movarare - Westerlund
Dahlin
Sandström
Gustavsson
Werner
Nylander and Asplund had good chemistry last WJC...Dahlen is a lot like Timashov.
Joel is doing great in NHL but i think he will cool down and be sent down to AHL soon. Grundstrom is on fire...he has like 6 goals in 6 games or something, i think he will fit good with Joel who is very similar to Sundstrom (Grundstroms line partner). Pettersson will be the magician on that line.
Davidssons has that brother-chemistry.... with Lias as the center this can be a good 3rd line.
The 4th line is players from Allsvenskan. Bratt and Karlström have chemistry from AIK, Lööke brings the speed and snarl.
Söderlund from Skellefteå seems like a interesting player.
G.Carlsson takes care of the defensive duty, while J.Larsson brings some offence from the backend.
Kylington MUST be on this team, it's foolish not to bring him in, players like Bouramman is not in any way better.
Bernhardt and Moverare is this years Englund and Ollas Mattsson, we need this type of players on the small rinks. Bernhardt is playing decent in SHL and Moverare is playing good in OHL.
There is no talk about Westerlund making this team, but he is good enough and would bring a lot.....
Liljegren still injured, Dahlin takes his spot.
The goalies are a no brainer.

I don't think you can say anyone MUST be on the team beyond Jacob Larsson and Gabriel Carlsson. Have you seen Kylington play much since he went to North America? His last season in Sweden wasn't very impressive at all. And judging by Montén's comments about him recently, it wouldn't be a massive surprise to me if he was left off the team.
Kylington-Bernhardt would be a very risky pairing. Whenever I watched Bernhardt play last season in SuperElit he looked really lost defensively. I haven't seen him in SHL this year, though. They'll need more than two defencemen who can defend, and for that reason I think Moverare has a pretty good chance.
We based our D last year on D that was more of defense specialist, the result was worse defense. It is just a myth that offensive D can not defend. They are usually surprior even in that regard over D that is defensive "specialist". How many defensive specialist make it to NHL? How many of the offensive D become defensive specialist in NHL? The only reason they are seen as offensive, is because they are overall much better. Defensive "specialist" are usually just left overs. You put the best player on offensive and worsed on defense.
I saw Kylington in his 1 NHL game, and he didnt look out of place at all, but small sample size, but he was also pretty good in the national shirt last season.
A pair with Kylington and Bernhardt would be much better defensivly then you think.
