WC: 2025 Switzerland

[Playmaker82]

Simion is cut.

From Fribourg I'd expect Schmid and Bertschy. Berra we talket about, I don't think he is an option but we'll see. After Streule is injured I don't think any D-men is an option. Dave Sutter maybe.
.

I don't see any defenseman from Fribourg making it either, but Egli might be a possibility. That leaves just him, Jung and Fora as potential additions. At forward, Ambühl, Knak, Nussbaumer, Bertschy and Schmid.

What do you guys think about Rathgeb? He really turned it around after Leuenberger took over and was an important contributor to the offense. He also plays with a bit of a mean streak. Not sure his defense would hold up in international games tough.

Also Walser played great when called upon a bigger role and he can also be used on a fourth line, but I understand there are better options available.

Rathgeb certainly deserves a chance and he was pretty convincing in the playoffs

Simion is another blow. He had not a very good season, but he's a solid two-way forward which can play in a more offensive and a defensive role.

Another spot for a newcomer.

Rathgeb, I don't know. I don't like his playing style, but I agree he plays the best hockey of his career and could get a call. I don't think Fischer likes him very much tough.

Egli have been amazing the whole season in SHL including the playoffs. He and Tömmernäs have great chemistry.

If Loeffel is there then I don't see why Rathgeb shouldn't get a call as well, I had to bear 20 games and he was not "Untersander bad" but god awful at best a fancy goal here and there doesn't make it right

I‘d atleast give him a chance after thos kind of season he deserves it and he is 95 so not done with hockey in the next couple of years. With josi out and Siegenthaler maybe not joining he‘s chances seem pretty high. I would leave loeffel of i took rathgeb.

 

[Kuracmugger]

I don‘t think we‘ve ever gotten both Malgin and Andrighetto at the WC. Our Top NL Players tend to disappoint some times but i think those two together could really improve the team. I can‘t remember if they played together in the OG 2022.

It's crazy how dominant Malgin/Andrighetto are in this playoffs. I hope they stay healthy.
