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

[QJL]

Mika is a slow starter

Mika is a slow player who has regressed dramatically and racks up points because he’s the worst player on a top power play in the league. He should be a bottom 6 wing for Sweden.

He has had plenty of fast starts. Started with 8 points in 4 games in 22-23. 8 points through his first 2 games in 19-20. He is a point per game player over the first 5 games of the season across his NHL career.

Raymond on the top line??

Forsberg - Pettersson - Nylander
Bratt - Zibanejad - Kempe
Lindholm - Eriksson Ek - Karlsson
Nyqvist - Carlsson - Zetterlund
Burakovsky

Hedman - Karlsson
Forsling - Dahlin
Brodin - Andersson
Ekholm

Ullmark
Markstrom

But on D there’s tough battle for the slots. Lindholm could easily be in there as well.

 

[EK47]

This is the 21/22 version of Pettersson again complete disaster.

 

[MNRube]

I don’t know how you leave Brodin off. He’s one of the 5 best pure defenders on the planet and Sweden already has plenty of guys to man the PP.

Raymond on the top line??.

No Raymond at all?

No Raymond at all?

[Eye of Ra]

We really missed out in 2018. Our team in Olympics with Nhlers in 2018 would be far stronger than todays team.

I think Backlund might make it as a veteran 4c. He is wearing the c in Calgary, which is huge.

 

[m4tt145]

Elias with two 2p games in a row. Hopefully he gets going.

I think Backlund might make it as a veteran 4c. He is wearing the c in Calgary, which is huge.

He is definately a candidate. I'd probably have EP40, Zibby, William Karlsson, Eriksson-Ek and Lindholm ahead of him at the center depth chart. But Eriksson-Ek and Lindholm can move to the wing. I also really want Leo Carlsson on the team, but I see him as the perfect 13th forward there to absorb as much knowledge and experience as possible to be ready for a top-6 role in the Olympics

 

[Eye of Ra]

People are sleeping on Rakell.

[Canucks LB]

Pettersson is back in the form, which is obviously huge news for Sweden as well

 

[Ben White]

Time to consider Lekarimaki.

Pettersson is a shadow of his former self. Raymond ahead of Carlsson in my opinion. Dahlin makes too many mistakes defensively, this is a best on best tournament, can’t have him fumbling the puck every now and then.

Not having Landeskog is the biggest setback.

 

[JackSlater]

Peter Forsberg was on TSN talking about this tournament and Sweden's chances. He thinks that Canada and USA are the favourites but anyone can win, a bit concerned about Sweden's size and scoring up front. Thinks that they need Karlsson but also need to have him avoid costly defensive issues. I didn't catch why Forsberg happened to be in TSN's studio but he is an engaging speaker, especially for a hockey great.
