World Cup: 4 Nations Tournament - Team Sweden (2025)

[weklof]

Ersson instead of Wallstedt. Ersson is a NHL goalie. Wallstedt is probaly 1-2 year from that. And you are putting too much stock in WC. Nyqvist and Arvidsson are superior to Marcus Johansson.

Maybe Arvidsson, Nyquist I think just had a career year. I suspect he will fall back next year.

3rd string goalie doesn't really matter, they should hopefully not play. I like to bring a young 'goalie of the future' type for that. They can absorb and learn from the older goalies.

First six players is expected to be announced on june 28th.

Who do we think it'll be?

Guessing Ullmark, Karlsson, Dahlin, Nylander, Pettersson, Zibanejad

 

[illone84]

Gonna be tough for Hallam to pick the 4 nations roster. Hedman and Karlsson is the only locks. Forsling might be better than Dahlin.

Marcus Pettersson
Jonas Brodin
Adam Larsson
Hampus Lindholm
Mattias Ekholm
Rasmus Andersson
OEL
Klingberg
Gustafsson

are very even. Lots of options.

Forsling is a beast. Really hope he plays for Sweden

 

[ZEBROA]

I only watch this to se Swedish NHL stars play together. Realy dont care if they win or loose.
It feels fake. I always want them to beat Finland thou, so it is always that one game.

 

[Mestaruus]

What a team it would be to have a team of only Swedish D-men + only Finnish forwards.

Honestly the only finnish fw id take is Barkov and Rantanen.

Cool to see Forsling there. He deserves it. If he plays well then lock him in for the 2026 Olympics.

 

[Mestaruus]

Forsberg - Aho - Rantanen
Pettersson - Barkov - Nylander
Hintz - Zibanejad - Lindholm
Laine - Eriksson Ek - Kempe

Yes, Sweden needs to be added as part of Finland again for this to happen (and not the other way around).

Laine is such a question mark right now, because he had a long time off. Perhaps Mikael Granlund or Teuvo Teräväinen over him. There are so many more though, like Artturi Lehkonen and Lundell from Panthers. Okay time to stop hijacking the Team Sweden thread .

The defence selection for 2026 Olympics will be interesting. Hedman and Karlsson will be 36, will they still make the cut? So many other good defenceman Dahlin, Forsling, R. Andersson, H. Lindholm, Brodin, A. Larsson, Edvinsson etc.

Hedman I could see being there in 2026. Not so sure about Karlsson. Either way, tough decisions to make and insane D talent! An embarrassment of the riches.

Maybe OEL gets a spot. Did a decent job with Florida.

I like OEL and I think he'd do a decent job in a third pairing role. But with the competition for the spots, I have a hard time seeing him grabbig one unless there are massive injury issues

He is most likely 11th on the depth chart, at best.

Karlsson
Hedman
Dahlin
Forsling
Ekholm
Lindholm
Brodin
A. Larsson
M. Pettersson
R. Andersson

I would rank all of them above OEL. Then there are young players like Edvinsson, Broberg, Boqvist, Söderström, Liljegren, Sandin etc that might take the next step next season and reach at least the level of OEL.

Tried to put swedish and finnish forwards in a context for comparison below:

Filip Forsberg - Sebastian Aho - Mikko Rantanen
Elias Pettersson - Alexander Barkov - William Nylander
Roope Hintz - Mika Zibanejad - Elias Lindholm
Patrik Laine - Joel Eriksson Ek - Adrian Kempe

Teuvo Teräväinen - William Karlsson - Jesper Bratt
Viktor Arvidsson - Anton Lundell - Mikael Granlund
Artturi Lehkonen - Leo Carlsson - Gustav Nyquist
Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Mikael Backlund - Lucas Raymond

 

[Eye of Ra]

Hedman, Karlsson, Dahlin and Brodin was dominated by czech euros in the wc semifinals, common sense say they will get smocked by nhl stars in the 4 nations.

Forsling - Ekholm
Lindholm - Andersson
OEL - Larsson
Hedman - EK

Is the reasonable thing to do

 

[Eye of Ra]

He should not get a spot based on old merits. He needs to perform in oct-feb.

it seems that Landeskog will be ready to play. That is good news.
