WJC: 2021 Sweden Roster Talk

[NJ DevLolz]

Yeah.

Raymond - Eklund - Holtz
Nybeck - Niederbach - Olausson
Torgersson - Persson - Robertsson
Rosen - Dower - Lysell
Strömgren

Andrae - Grans
Edvinsson - Wallinder
Styf - Lööf
Olsson

Wallstedt
Clang
Ollas

Probaly forgot someone...

I think odds that Holtz is in the NHL next year is greater than 50/50.

 

[Prntscrn]

Grans is the last cut

JVM-truppen färdigbantad – han blev siste man att lämna

 

[VictorLustig]

So Berglund, Hedström and Brännstam ahead of Grans..... Don't even know what to say.

Now they only have 2 RHD and one of them is dealing with an injury

Swedish national teams have never cared for handedness unfortunately. They somehow fail to see how that is helpful. It's really annoying.

What the actual f***?

If he's not injured then what the hell are they doing?

Got to have our shutdowns and grinders, can't have too much scoring that could be dangerous. Swedish hockey in a nutshell

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Grans cut %"#%#"

Thought Grans was a lock, lol

 

[B Boarding]

Yeah.

The key players are definitely there. I would be very surprised if Victor Stjernborg didn't end up being 3rd or 4th line center on the team though. Oliver Moberg might make the 4th line.
Lysell would definitely play top 6. Nybeck would probably have to move down then. But as already pointed out, I think Holtz might be in NHL next season. That would open up a spot in top 6.

As for defenders, I think Simon Forsmark have a better shot than Styf of making the team. Jonathan Myrenberg and a healthy Anton Johannesson is not out of the question either.

The wild cards would be the 04's. Given recent development, I think Elias Salomonsson has a decent chance of making it. Noah Östlund might make it as well considering Sweden has a lack of high end centers. With more physical development, he might be the 2nd best center on the team next year behind Niederbach, if you count William Eklund as a winger.

Cutting Grans is on the same level as when Hedman was cut on behalf of Tallinder some years ago. It's ridiculous, he should be a lock.

 

[jfc64]

Shock. No Grans. I thought we needed to be big. Does he fumble with the puck or something?? Even Hedman, OEL and Lidström does that when coming near Tre Kronor. It usually takes four seconds from control to loss of the puck.

I really, really hope it was injury related. Sense I'm getting is that they are trying to mimic the team that won U18 gold. Big mistake IMO.

 

[VictorLustig]

Interesting. Sweden, Finland and Russia refusing to get on the plane if luggage is stored inside the cabin. Good start to a Bellman joke!

Refusing for Covid reasons I'm assuming?

They don't want luggage inside the cabin. So yeah, probably.

tie a rope to it and drag it behind the plane.. good test for the luggage

Backen petades från JVM – samma dag som avfärd

Has to do with roles. They're clueless as usual. Wonder if Montén had anything to do with that decision, he has actually showered Grans with praise from what I've read.

Brought to you by the gang behind captain Ginning... Supposed to play a shutdown role, but was pretty bad defensively.

Fly Covid Air - Guaranteed airborne!

 

[ORRFForever]

It wouldn`t be 2020 without some craziness.

So... did they all eventually get on the same plane?

 

[Star Ocean]

And I thought we wouldnt get all these stupid decisions now when the loser monten is out.

I would had coached this team to gold since i would always go talent before grinding.

 

[Statsy]

Just a reminder that we lost an entire hockey team in a plane crash not too long ago. Covid may be deadly, but flying overloaded planes is far deadlier.

Good point.

I'm just worried about having luggage removed and touched by people who are possibly Covid positive. I don't know enough about Covid to know...

Would that be a (big) concern?

Why is there so much talk about next years team in this thread? lol
