why not Boqvist?

A player I also would like to see is weissbach, such a speedy and creative player, would intresting to see what he can do. Was very good in superelit last season.
 
Ersson is really good, big strong D with good speed. Will probably get some games with Brynäs in SHL this upcoming season

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?

Ahl

Dahlin

Sandström

Werner

Werner is playing decent in Allsvenskan.

Brännström and Dahlin are very young, but the depth players are not that good......lets give the youngsters the chance...

I think Moverare is better than L.Carlsson.....And we could need a player with his playingstyle....

Ahl is a darkhorse....did great in allsvenskan last season and playing good so far in WHL....big player with grit.

Have a feeling Brännström and Bouramman makes the team while Kylington is left off. Dahlin would not look out of place in this tournament. He's probably the best out of our 98-00 D-men at killing penalties and he can obviously be used in an offensive role as well. He's just 16 years old so he's probably off the radar though, there are plenty of options this year.

Forwards will look something like TheFatOne's lineup, think they might go with Wingerli or Söderlund instead of Bratt though.
 
Eriksson Ek off to a strong start in the NHL, might not be made available for the WJC.

Yeah not good, even if it is fun to see him doing good in NHL. But 97 do not have the best deph, so need every good 97 we got, and Eriksson Ek is one of the best without doubh. Would be a big blow if he do not come.

Do anyone follow the NA junior leagues? Ahl, Dahlström, Tilander, Hedberg, Weissbach is off to decent starts statswise
 
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.

Unless Moverare has taking some huge steps in NA he should not be close to this team. Lucas carsslon is either way a lock to me, and I would rather cut the other Carlsson than him. L Carlsson, Larsson, Kylington are to me locks, espically Larsson, he should be our 1D.

Why should we try to replicate a D that was bad? The D was not good last year, and a big reason to that was that Grönborg took players like Ollas Mattsson and englund over R Andersson and Kylington. We do not need a new Ollas Mattsson.

The forwards looks good.

Liljegren has started to train 100% now, and it sounds like he will soon start playing in superelit.

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.
 
The forwards are pretty much set for me. It should look something like Eye of Ra posted, only the least important spots are up for grabs. Injuries will also play in, as always with our luck....

Dahlen - Asplund - Nylander
Grundström - Eriksson Ek - Pettersson
Davidsson - Lias Andersson - Davidsson
X - Karlström - X

A ton of options on defense. G. Carlsson is the only lock if Larsson can't go. Bouramman is one of my favorites but it doesn't seem like he's off to a very good start this season.

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, and are for that reason put in the more offensive role. 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, looked a lot more mature then he did in sweden, 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.

Oh I agree there is not much point in taking one dimensional defensemen to a tournament like this. That goes for purely offensive d-men too, though. As I said, I haven't seen Bernhardt this year, but the fact that he looked utterly one dimensional in SuperElit last year makes me wonder how he'll look against Canada or the US at the World Championships. Kylington I don't really have an opinion on, because I've not seen him play much at all for more than a full season. And Moverare isn't useless offensively. He had 21 points in SuperElit and 5 points in 7 games at the U18s.

As Huffman said, there are a ton of options. I like both Jesper Lindgren and Bouramman, and Erik Brännström has been hugely impressive so far this season.
