Should be good enough to keep the round robin streak going...

Not sure if Eklund and Niederbach is centers.

Is Lysell, Dower Nilsson, Olausson...ready?

0% chance Eklund plays center, Swedish development, & junior coaches say no. And Niederbach they've tried to force to the wing too. They'll grab somebody with no offensive skill instead. Gunler is also doubtful to play at all.

Looks good. But I really don't want Grewe on the team. He will just take a lot of stupid penalties. His toughness won't compensate for that. But I fear he is a lock in Montén's eyes.

Watching Olausson play at the Swedish U18 camp before Christmas I'd say yes, absolutely yes. He's big, he competes, he's got good puck skills and fantastic wheels. Lysell has a chance but I'd be surprised if he get's any chance to play in the SHL next season. He'll need a fantastic showing at the Ivan Hlinka tournament. Dower Nilsson, very unlikely.

As a Coyotes' fan I'd be quite disappointed if Soderstrom isn't playing decent minutes in the NHL next year.

Yeah, I expect that too. Only other one I could see playing in the NHL next year is Holtz, but that's a big maybe.

Don't think Söderström will be physically ready to play a full season in the NHL. He'll probably get some games but I don't see any reason to rush him.
