WJC: 2025 Team Sweden Roster Talk

[theslatcher]

Linus Eriksson lost his spot? 0 games so far.

Almost like he's injured, eh?

Pretty hard to guess the team this year, I guess something like this sounds ok, I would really like FUS at center, though:

Stenberg - Edstrom - FUS
Wahlberg - Frondell - Eklund
Vuollet - L.Pettersson - A.Zetterberg
Berglund - Eriksson - Träff
Fernström/NDN/Nordlund/etc.

Lindstein - Willander
Landén - ASP
Leo - Annborn
Fransén

Strahl
Thelin
Härenstam

I forgot Wilander

Good call on Härenstam. Perfekt to have as a 3rd keeper.

Isn’t FUS making the Canes?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Does Ivar Stenberg have a chance to make this team?

Looks like they're setting him up to play 1C in the A.

Does Ivar Stenberg have a chance to make this team?

Short answer is no, not this year.

 

[erikhamren]

FUS at center

Stenberg - Edstrom - Frondell
Wahlberg - Unger Sörum - Eklund
Vuollet - L Pettersson - Nordh
Alriksson - Forsfjäll - Berglund
Träff/Nilsson/Dower-Nilsson as extra

Lindstein - Sandin-Pellikka
Fransén - Willander
Freij - Landén
Sundqvist


Thelin
Erliden

Now more depth at C, and Frondell should be ready to be on the first line.

 

[erikhamren]

We may lack the likes of Östlund and Lekkerimäki this year but in my opinion this team is a bit stronger due to the overall depth.

Herman Träff 2 points in 3 HA games and 1 point 1 game in SHL.

Linus Eriksson lost his spot? 0 games so far.

Right now i would go with;

Stenberg - Edstrom - Sörum
Vuollet - Dower Nilsson - Wahlberg
Eklund - Zether - Fernström
Hugo Pettersson - Forsfjäll - Träff
Genborg

Sundqvist - Pellikka
Lindstein - Wilander
Sahlin Wallenius - Landen
Fransén

Thelin
Gidlöf
Strahl

Unless he has plays real bad whenever he comes back I would take Eriksson over all players you put at center except Edstrom. Dower Nilsson at 2C gives me backpain, north americans would give us flashbacks of the early 1700s war against Russia if thats our plan. Coaching staff would be deeply unserious if Frondell wasn't there. I know people suddenly loves Genborg because of his playstyle, but having him as the 07 representant would absolutely bizarre, several better players. Haven't seen much of the SHL/Allsvenskan so far, but would be surprised if some of these players were picked over e.g. Nordh. I don't see what others see in Fernström to think he is a non 4th-liner on this team at best, Lucas Pettersson has been a better player so far in their careers. I know he is inconsistent and sometimes chaotic, but I rate Freij higher than LSW as well.

EDIT: thought this was the latest post on the thread, turns out it was the last on page 3, which was why I spent this much time riffing on it, without knowing there were more responses. Nevermind me.

My wet dreams never become reality, so no.

I'm almost there as well. Defensively I think we might be better, assuming who ever starts in net does a good job. Still, it's probably going to be noticeably that some of the more skilled forwards, both that make the team and don't, are underagers. If they decide to keep the Stenberg-Edstrom-Sörum line from last year together, they will have a looot of responsibility. It really helped that those guys were our 3rd line coming into last years tournament.
