MIlton Oscarsson and Adam Hofbauer has really impressed me everytime i seen Örebro. They would be good 4th liners for this team.

Born - Hofbauer - Oscarsson

Would be a good physical 4th line.
4th line with more skill:

William Strömgren - Ludwig Persson - Gabriel Kangas

(yes i know, im quoting myself)

William Strömgren - Victor Stjernborg - Albert Sjöberg

Some wild cards:

From the little i saw, Lindstein looked good for Brynäs. 4 SHL games for him so far this season. He is seriously skilled. Could be a nice player to have as 7th, no pressure on him.

Lucas Forsell. 3 points in 5 Allsvenskan games. Last season he had 6 points in 30 SHL games. He is flying under the rader.

Jonathan Myrenberg, been good for Mora. Has some size.

Filip Nordberg, has size and is physical. Have stepped up lately.

Elias Sjöström, another big guy. 17 games in SHL this season.

Jakob Noren, been great for MoDo. Very calm, very smart.

Oliver Johansson, Sniped in 4 goals for Björklöven so far.

Im i the only one who dont see the greatness with Ludvig Jansson? He is smart. And that is good. But nothing else.

Simon Robertsson really pushing for a spot. 4 points in 7 SHL games and plus 5. He has been around forever and is gritty.

I wonder if Fabian Wagner could make this team. His numbers in Linköping are very poor (haven’t seen any games) but I thought he looked excellent at the 4-nations tournament.

Salomonsson at the hospital after his leg got twisted following a hit.

Hopefully he, & Hävelid are healthy come the tournament.

Why no love for Calle Odelius, was really great at U18 gold run !
One tournament does not maketh the player. His play at the U20 tournaments have been nothing to write home about, other defensemen have been better. Might squeeze in with Salomonsson, & Hävelid out. And we'll see if Detroit releases Edvinsson, as they're not very into international play.

How bad is Havelid's injury anyway? I would like to see him play in the tourney.
Linköping's HC just said he's not close to practicing yet and his return will take time. So not looking great.

Wonder if Suzdalev is a option already this year? Been doing good lately in WHL.
Doubt it.

On the wing you have Lysell, Rosén, Öhgren, Lekkerimäki, Carlsson(will more than likely play on the wing), O.Pettersson, Robertsson as offensive options above him. And he's not somebody you play in a defensive role.

Will be interesting to see how the forwards lineup shapes up. Personally I think I'd like to see Carlsson-Bystedt-Rosén with Lysell anchoring the third line with O.Pettersson on the opposite wing.

But I can't see Hävelid putting Lysell not on the top line.
