Thank you, I wasn't aware! I edited the OP!

SWE is gonna be a really good team, but theyre not exactly overflowing with offensive talent. lot of smart two-way guys, lot of big physical bodies up front. this could be a great opportunity for traff to lean more into those power forward elements and really push to be one of the teams top goal scorers

shame pikkarainens been injured all season. im not sure FIN would definitely have taken him, but theyve historically liked him for international tournaments, and i think that size/skill wouldve been enticing to have down the wing or even in a depth role
