WC: 2023 Sweden Roster Talk

[hockeyprospects9]

Yes, Nylander seems to love to play on the national team and with his brother already there, he seems the most likely out of everyone to come. But first he has to be knocked out

Toronto will take care of that part, no worries

 

[theslatcher]

I still have high hopes for Nylander and Järnkrok, and maybe Liljegren?

Järnkrok hasn't accepted in forever. Unless Nylander nags him into it I don't see it.

Järnkrok ain't that good either, I could take or leave him.

 

[theslatcher]

Järnkrok ain't that good either, I could take or leave him.

He'd be a clear upgrade on the vast majority on this current roster, and would be the only one to really be able to play anywhere in the lineup.

Sure, he is an upgrade, but it is not like he will make or break this team.

Nylander probably sees this as his best chance to play with his brother if he becomes available. But he almost always says yes so I mean, he has to be tired sometimes aswell.

What about Liljegren?

 

[EK47]

What about Liljegren?

Normally you wouldn’t hold a roster spot open and then bring in a bottom pairing d man from the NHL past round 1. But considering two of Folin, Persson and Häman Aktell will be on the team if there are no more additions from NA. I think they leave as much open as they can.

 

[weklof]

What about Liljegren?

The D is atrocious, he'd be a welcome additions. Can reunite him with his old partner Sandin.

Wennberg and Adam Larsson from the Kraken would be nice. Addressing our two biggest weaknesses in defensive Dman and offensive center.

Most optimistic team at the moment:

Lasse Johansson
Wallstedt

H. Lindholm - A. Larsson
Brodin - Tömmernes
Sandin - Liljegren

A. Nylander - W. Karlsson - W. Nylander
Kempe - Wennberg - Arvidsson
Grundström - Leo - Raymond
Silfverberg - Lindberg - Järnkrok

 

[hockeyprospects9]

My (quite optimistic) prediction:

Lasse Johansson
Wallstedt

Tömmernes - Liljegren
Sandin - Bengtsson
Lindholm - Pudas

Berggren - Leo - Raymond
A. Nylander - Lindberg - W. Nylander
Grundström - Rasmussen - Silfverberg
Johansson - Lindholm - Zetterlund

 

[theslatcher]

Y'all forgetting Nemeth, hah.

There we go, heh.

Lasse Johansson
Wallstedt

Tömmernes - Liljegren
Sandin - Bengtsson
Nemeth - Lindholm

Berggren - Leo - Raymond
A. Nylander - Lindberg - W. Nylander
Grundström - Rasmussen - Silfverberg
Johansson - Lindholm - Zetterlund

 

[Eye of Ra]

there is also pontus holmberg in toronto

Not sure he’s got enough status to replace someone this late

 

[Eye of Ra]

Out of the "grinders" have Linus Johansson been the best, by a land mile.

There we go, heh.

Lasse Johansson
Wallstedt

Tömmernes - Liljegren
Sandin - Bengtsson
Nemeth - Lindholm

Berggren - Leo - Raymond
A. Nylander - Lindberg - W. Nylander
Grundström - Rasmussen - Silfverberg
Johansson - Lindholm - Zetterlund

Nemeth should play with Sandin or Tömmernäs, they need a physical stay at home D with them

A. Nylander - W. Karlsson - W. Nylander
Kempe - Wennberg - Arvidsson
Grundström - Leo - Raymond
Silfverberg - Lindberg - Järnkrok

I think Zetterlund is needed. He bring a physical element that the team is lacking upfront. Having both Grundström and Zetterlund will be good.

He would be a uppgrade over Everberg, Sörensen, Petersson etc.

He did a good job in NHL this season. And Hallam coached him in Växjö.

 

[fredligh]

I know atheletes carry a lot of muscle, but Zetterlund being 180 cm / 100 kg amazes me XD. im 183 and i feel bloated even at 80

 

[weklof]

Fabian Zetterlund is interviewed in Viasats "NHL studion". He said that Hallam had told him he is on the roster. So we can confirm him too

lets hope nils ekman and silfverberg dont meet again

Nylander - Kempe - Nylander
Berggren - Lindberg - Silfverberg
Zetterlund - Carlsson - Raymond
Johansson - Lindholm - Rasmussen
de la Rose - Sörensen

Sandin - Pudas
Tömmernes - Folin
Nemeth - Lindholm
Aktell - Larsson

LJ/JW/MH

Sörensen played well on the national team in the autumn. When a few players get to hear "no mistakes" this team will be better.

 

[EK47]

That’s not even remotely Okay that’s worse than what lilja got his assault sentence for. Someone should seriously ask SIF if they think its an appropriate move to hire a guy who conducts himself like this on the ice.

Nylander - Kempe - Nylander
Berggren - Lindberg - Silfverberg
Zetterlund - Carlsson - Raymond

Folin? he is horrible and who is this Larsson. if its adam larsson, the tell me why you have folin over him.

 

[Eye of Ra]

...no way toronto come back from this. we can count in w.nylander, he wants to play with his brother for sure...

erik gustafsson is playing for the leafs too and always likes to play for tre kronor...but has no contract. possible he shows up anyways. he would be a uppgrade over pudas

dosent feel like h.lindholm and la kings guys will come...but i get positive vibes from the leafs swedes.

A.Nylander - Järrnkrok - W.Nylander
Berggren - Leo - Raymond
Silfverberg - Lindberg - Holmberg
Zetterlund - P.Lindholm - L.Johansson

Sandin - Nemeth
Tömmernäs - Liljegren
Gustafsson - Bengtsson

 

[Elias40]

Toronto is 0-3, the chances of winning at least one player out of three have increased. Even if it's not Nylander, both Liljegren and Järnkrok will be good additions. Liljegren has played three games in the playoffs so far, I don't think he should be injured. I just think that Nylander has the right to rest and prepare for the new season...we'll see how he likes to play in the team with his brother. If Boumedienne had added enough individually capable goal-scoring players to the team since the beginning of the nomination, now he would not have to rely on an NHL star coming to him. But he did exactly the opposite, he took players who don't score many goals and now he has to believe that good players from the NHL want to extend their season.
