WJC: 2022 Sweden Roster Talk

[theslatcher]

Clang just got injured!

He's backup today, so should be fine.

 

[Eye of Ra]

its a crime if leo carlsson is not on the team. The guy looks amazing in SHL. Dosent matter if he is only 16. The best players should play.

But yeah monten wants Elliot Ekmark or someone instead .

 

[Eye of Ra]

schedule is out.

Our first game is against Russia. Its good becuse Russia often starts slow.

Holtz called up to nhl

Holtz called up to nhl

That’s worrying. Think Eklund gets sent down soon though. With none of the big 3 it will be tough.

 

[VictorLustig]

I would not bet on any of them being full time NHL players by the time the tournament starts. First month is always the easiest.

Raymond is not being sent down. He is a legit top-line forward for the Wings.

 

[vippe]

I think Raymond stays put the entire season - Holz and Eklund I'm not sure.

There's always a scenario where a player gets to play the WJC even if he's been in the NHL. Thinking of Oscar Möller for instance, I'm sure there's more recent examples but it's the one sticking with me.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Eklund just played his 9th game. He is almost certainly staying in San Jose, either with the Sharks or the Barracuda. Although he's not tearing it up, he still has 4 points in 9 games, and with some luck would have a goal or two. Whether a compliment to him, or a comment on the sharks lack of depth, Eklund has been one of their best 12 forwards, and with the team being competitive so far I doubt he gets loaned.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Scratch what I said. Eklund going back to Djurgarden. Should be one of the best players at the WJC.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Big add for the team!

 

[Eye of Ra]

Raymond has 10 points in 11 games. He is not getting send down. Holtz is 50-50.

Maybe Liam Dower Nilsson can gnabb a spot. He is looking good in SHL.

Wallstedt
Clang
Ollas

Edvinsson - Nyström
Wallinder - Lööf
Andrae - Olsson
Grans

Olausson - Eklund - Holtz
Rosen - Niederbach - Lysell
Sjödin - Carlsson - Nybeck
Ljungman - Dower Nilsson - Stjernborg
Magnusson

 

[Eye of Ra]

Niederbach is injured. Looks like a concusion. Why is that year after year we always lose key players to injuries and stuff? the hockey gods hates us

 

[Eye of Ra]

Raymond 3 assists tonight

Wave goodbye Swedish wjc fans, the kid ain't f***ing around.

As a Devils fan, I can say the plan is most likely not to keep Holtz up with the big club in the long term. He got called up because of key injuries and because the PP is struggling. Will be interesting to see what happens, but I’m pretty sure that if he’s in the AHL in a few weeks, which I think is likely, he’ll be sent to the WJC. If he’s still with the big club, then I doubt he’s sent. But as I said, I think he’ll be up for a few weeks only.

 

[Harbessix]

Is Theo Jacobsson likely to at the very least get a camp invite or is he too far off the radar for this years team?

Holtz playing the WJC seems pretty ideal. As a Rangers fan, I hope he doesn't score too many NHL goals this season .

 

[Janvonpobben]

Yeah sweden is not winning gold with two of the big three gone. We dont have canadas depth.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Holtz is up mostly because the Devils have many injuries at the moment, as I understand. Hopefully it's not more than 9 games.

 

[Devs3cups]

Maybe not this season, as he doesn’t really have a spot in the top 6 right now unfortunately. Maybe when Hughes come back. But in the next few years, watch out

He would probaly do a decent job on a 4th line. But i dont think he will even get a invite to the camp. There is lots of good players in competition.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Lots of talk about Edvinsson but Wallinder, Grans and Andrae is having hell of a season aswell. Those 4 as our offensive dman then throw in more defensive-minded ds in Olsson/Lööf/Nyström/Styf and its a great d-corp.

Stjernborg is out long term with injury

[VictorLustig]

Interesting lineup. Lekkerimäki on the top line with Nybeck and on the first PP unit.

Well this team can't afford to lose any more centers. Pretty sure they will use Eklund on the wing.
